We were very well served by Patsy and Felix and their home over nearly two weeks of pre-surgery prep and post-op recuperation. The house is exactly as depicted in the pictures and one of the best provisioned properties we have visited. The home and neighborhood are quiet, safe, and clean and near many services and restaurants. Would absolutely return again.

Previous reviews were accurate. The property is centrally located to downtown, the Galleria, museums and the many hospitals. It would make for a comfortable long term stay. The street is quiet despite being near to busier east/west, north/south streets and loop highways. The beds are comfortable and the towels/linens are like thise you would want in your own home. We visited during a major 100 degree plus heat wave and the accommodations remained cool. Our interactions with the host Patsy were pleasant and she answered all our questions quickly. You may hear some sound of a small dog scampering about overhead but we were not disturbed by it and it was never at night. Finally the hostt graciously welcomed us with fresh flowers, a handwritten card and a scrumptious blackberry tart. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay for our concert weekend. House was super clean, extremely well stocked, and very cozy! The morning breakfast platters were absolutely top notch also. If you need a place to stay in the Houston area near NRG, the Galleria, or the medical center, this is the place! Thanks again for everything, Patsy! Look forward to staying with y'all again in the future.

We were in Houston for the NCAA final four. Bellaire was the perfect location. The neighborhood was wonderful for walking. The hosts did a great job meeting us and making sure we felt welcome. They went above and beyond with homemade tart and goodies in the fridge. We will definitely stay here again if we end up back in Houston.

The place was clean and beautiful. The host welcomed us with a surprise cheese platter that was much appreciated. The fridge and pantry were also stocked! The location is close to everything in central Houston. I will definitely be staying here again when I return to Houston.

The home is lovely, clean, and well stocked in a neighborhood convenient to NRG and the medical center. It was very convenient for our visit to the rodeo. A Lyft to NRG was only $13. Spacious and clean bedrooms. Nicely stocked kitchen with a few food items left for us, which was great. We had a problem with noise, however. The owners have several active dogs (and maybe a small child?) and live above the unit. We were all awakened each day starting about 6:00 am with noisy footsteps above as the floors were very creaky on the second floor. Running footsteps, dog scrabbles, rhythmic thumping above (thought it was a hammer then guessed wagging tail on a hardwood floor), bouncing ball, lots of walking back and forth. We were getting in or sitting up late talking each night and hoped to sleep well past 6 or 7 am to start our vacation days. We spent 3 weekday nights there and it happened every morning. This put a real damper on our stay. Otherwise, would have been a great experience.

This was our second stay here this year and both were exceptional. The Christmas tree made it truly feel like home. We were able to accommodate 18 family members for Christmas gumbo dinner. Felix and Patty are great hosts!

We had a wonderful short weekend in Houston visiting family and we all wish we could have stayed longer!
This house felt like home - 3 large bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen and hosts that left wine and cookies at arrival! The hosts also delivered breakfast Saturday morning.
Everything was wonderful and we hope to stay again the next time we have a family reunion in Houston. Thank you!

Our family stayed here for Thanksgiving. We were happy to have found such a beautiful, warm, and comfortable place to be together. We so appreciated the wonderful fruit tart, breakfast, and other thoughtful items. By far the best stocked home I have stayed in with plenty of dishes to prepare and serve a Thanksgiving meal. The tea lovers in our group were excited to find a large selection of high quality teas. Thank you, Patsy and Felix, for being such gracious hosts.

We had to find a rental quickly for a funeral and this house was ideally located, very private and clean and comfortable. The owner was a dear, leaving us gorgeous flowers; a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate when we arrived and there were chocolates in the fridge and a substantial breakfast each morning. So easy to have everything taken care of. The beds are super comfy and the house is very quiet. Definitely recommend this lovely house and owner. Five starts.

The Larch House is very comfortable, clean, had plenty of space for our group, and Patsy was super communicative and able to help me with a few special requests (high chair, crib, muffin pan, etc). The location is great too! I highly recommend this VRBO, especially for families.

Amazing hosts!
What a hidden gem! This house was super cute, clean and easily accessible to any area of Houston. I felt very safe and taken care of. The hosts were MORE THAN HELPFUL and treated us like family. Whenever we needed something… it was handled within minutes and without hesitation! Would highly recommend this property. The hosts also spoiled us with home-made goodies, wonderful linens… TVs in every room… every need you could think of, this property had it. Thank you so much, I will miss staying here in the comfort of this home.

We stay at this home twice each year to facilitate my visiting specialist physicians in the Medical Center area. The hosts live above the rental and are quite personable and responsive. The location is great, the beds wonderful, and the entire experience is worth every penny. Highly recommend.

Patsy and Felix bring their home away from home to a whole new level. These two generous, kind and thoughtful hosts offer an absolutely lovely home conveniently located in the heart of Bellaire. A beautiful courtyard offers a great retreat. The Kitchen larder is well-stocked and Patsy is a caterer par excellance. These two hosts go over and above when it comes to ensuring a terrific stay.
This 3-bedroom has a beautiful layout for privacy with large bedrooms and a generous living area with room for entertaining. We heartily recommend Larch Lane for a short or long stay.

Lovely Retreat
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. It was very spacious, clean and relaxing. We were dropping our son off at college and it made the whole process less stressful to have a place to call home while we were in Houston. Patsy and Felix were very hospitable and even left food and a delicious tart for us! We would definitely stay here again!

Great host
When we arrived, there was an amazing food spread that welcomed us to the house. There was an issue with the air-conditioning, and the hosts jumped through hoops to make us comfortable. I would recommend this property and the hosts anytime and if I return to Houston, will surely book this house again.

Wonderful house with great location.
We stayed for 9 days after we moved out of our house and before we moved overseas. The house has plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 kids. Patsy was great. She met us at check in and showed us everything. She also left us cookies. There is plenty of parking on the street. We never had a problem parking our Yukon XL.

Wonderful home and hosts!
Larch House turned out to be the perfect choice for our weekend in Houston. Located on a lovely street, the house is close to museums, shopping, restaurants and more.
The property itself is beautiful--welcoming and elegantly appointed. The bed linens were remarkably comfortable. And the homemade weekend breakfasts were exceptional.
Patsy and Felix provided an ideal environment for my wife, her parents and I to enjoy a quick, post-lockdown reunion in a terrific city. Thoroughly recommended!

Fantastic house and lovey hosts. This house was so well appointed, nice and comfortable.
This house was so much more than we expected. It is a huge space with top notch decor and linens. It was also so well appointed with all the comforts of home and many more thoughtful touches. The location is great. The hosts were so kind and accommodating, very responsive, and
They went the extra mile with everything. We were in Houston for medical treatment and if we are due back we will stay here again for sure.
