Nice house, great location
We love staying where it's pleasant to take a walk right outside our door. So this location in a wooded residential neighborhood and looking over the back fence into a park (the entrance of which is only a few minutes' walk away) was perfect - also because it is a very short drive to grocery stores and nice eateries. The house had a very nice setup - we enjoyed it!

Oasis in the city
We had family we were visiting in Katy. This cottage afforded us the comforts of home whilst navigating the energy of Katy, TX and Houston, TX! If you appreciate an older, grandmotherly home with a humble outdoor sitting area, this is your spot!
