    Fred’s cottage is perfect! It is beautifully decorated. The patio is incredibly relaxing. There were soft drinks, beer, wine, snacks. (Amazing!). The location is ideal… you can walk to museums, restaurants, Hermann Park. Or even take a quick train ride to NRG stadium. Everything about it is fabulous! Highly recommend!!!

    We felt right at home in this exceptionally comfortable and charming cottage. Love this property, loved the feel of it, the garden, the fabulous location. Very comfortable beds and bedding and tasteful decor. We had everything we needed and didn’t want to leave. Our host was extremely responsive, helpful and considerate.

    Fred's cottage is a perfect location to see all that the Museum District has to offer. Although the weather did not allow us to enjoy it as much as we would have liked, the backyard is a quiet haven to sit back and enjoy, all the while the dogs enjoy exploring the yard. Fred was a gracious host, leaving many treats for us to enjoy. I would highly recommend.

    This is a great property, exactly as described and pictured. We stayed for almost 4 weeks. Very well equipped kitchen and very comfortable surroundings both inside and outside in the large garden. Hosts are excellent. Lots of things to do, all within walking distance or a very short drive. A great stay.

    The cottage is spacious, yet cozy. Tastefully decorated. Well equipped kitchen for both casual dining and an organized feast. The fenced garden area felt private and lush. The cottage is located in a beautiful residential neighborhood, but only minutes to shopping, restaurants and a major freeway. The bed was comfy. The bedding felt luxe. I slept great! Fred was a wonderful host. Communication was great and I had no doubt he’d be available to answer any question or address any concern. The welcome gift of wine and snacks was very much appreciated. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this quaint cottage and I look forward to a return visit.
