My family and I visited Houston for the first time and stayed at the Lone Star Lookout. We absolutely enjoyed ourselves!!! The home was so comfortable and inviting. We loved the decor, the rooftop views were amazing, and our host made sure we had all the essentials we needed for our trip. There was a handy guide with suggestions for things to do and restaurants we should visit, and our host was very accommodating to our early check in request. The location is in an up and coming area that’s super convenient to downtown, and other parts of Houston. 10/10 for the stay, and we’ll definitely visit again!!

Beautiful modern house/home base for exploring
The house is beautiful! Obviously there are a lot of stairs but the listing was honest, and the kitchen was probably the best stocked kitchen I’ve ever seen at a Vrbo house! We really enjoyed our time there.
