Modern Lakefront Treehouse with Kayaks, Sun Deck and Arcade
About this house rental
Situated in Kingwood, this lovely house for $236 per night is a great option for your next trip. Welcome to the Owls Nuest (pronounced “Nest” like “guest”). This is a fully renovated, private, lakefront home sitting high in the trees with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and comfortable sleeping for 5 guests. We named it the Owls Nuest as it feels you are cozy in a nest overlooking Lake Houston. Also owls symbolize good luck, helpfulness, wisdom and these are all things for which we strive. This 670 sqft home sits on 15 ft stilts creating a large outdoor living space underneath with ample lighting for your outdoor enjoyment. The fenced in, oversized, shaded lot boasts large mature trees, a serenity bench (to ponder lifes choices) and a lit up boat dock. This home was completely renovated floor to ceiling in 2022. At that time, 3 brand new remote controlled, mini-split AC/heat systems were added making each room your perfect temperature. Each bedroom and the living room have their own remote controlled temperature control. Ceiling fans are found throughout the home. The house sits approximately 15ft from the waters edge and the height above ground fully surrounded with windows makes it feel like you are in a treehouse hovering over Lake Houston. Upgraded indoor shutters allow you to block out the light when you want to sleep in or watch TV. The full glass front door and multitude of windows allow for breathtaking lake views from every room. There is wifi throughout the home making it easy for those who work remote. In a no wake zone, with access to 3 kayaks and on main body of the lake makes Owls Nuest the perfect peaceful getaway for families, fishermen, friends and couples. When you pull into the drive you will see the back side of the home 15 feet in the air and lots of green space on the left side of the home. It is fully fenced in case you want to bring your pet to run outside. We have installed a pet station near the bottom of steps so cleaning up after Fido is a breeze. Under the home is a nice large covered patio and outdoor dining table where guests spend most of their time enjoying the lake front view watching boats go by and pelicans diving for fish. We have a charcoal and gas grill you are welcome to use. We provide a fire pit and "professional" marshmallow roasting sticks for those nights you just want to sit outside by the lake with a fire roasting marshmallows. Downstairs there is a full size washer and dryer should you need this during your stay. You will find an outdoor shower on backside of the laundry for those days you just got too dirty to come inside, or those evenings your feeling romantic. When you walk up the stairs you will find a spacious patio perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine watching the moon set over the water at night. Walk through the front door into a cozy living room with a table top arcade boasting over 400 of the games we grew up playing (my favorite is still Pac man). Play all night if you want - no quarters required :-) Living area has a comfy sofa and ceiling fan as well as remote control AC unit and smart TV with Netflix. A little doggie bed, and dog toys are available in the corner of living room for your dog. Please do not allow them on the furniture. On the left is the modern kitchen with everything you need to cook nice meals at home. The kitchen island has seating for 2 and the dining nook/ sunroom is nestled in the trees overlooking the lake and seats 4 more. We also provide basic pantry items and many spices in the event you need something but don’t want to head to the store. There is even a liquor cabinet stocked with glasses - BYOL The bathroom has a beautifully tiled shower with full length glass doors (no tub). We have added a shelf to set your toiletry bags and a bookshelf holding personalized towels embroidered by Lavender Llama Embroidery Boutique with numbers1-4 so you can find your own towel without having to use his - ewww. Indoor shutters cover the window for privacy or open for views of the lake an new marina nearby! You will have access to the entire home and fenced in double lot adjacent to the Lake (great for outdoor games provided in the closet under outdoor stairs). Guests with boats are asked to drop your boat in just around the corner at the new Waterside Marina (see it from kitchen and bath windows) and tie your boat to our dock. Smaller ski boats and Bass boats are welcome to use the boat lift. Above the boat lift is a newly built 600 sq ft sundeck (complete 3/13/2023) with four large lounge chairs to relax and soak up the sun. Tree covered outdoor patio furniture or use of the 10 ft tilt umbrella is the place to be when ready to escape the sun. From the upper deck you will enjoy waving to boaters and watching pelicans dive for fish. Extra wide upper rail provides a place to set your coffee or cocktail. Between the Islands off to the right is a perfect place to kayak. The water is shallow so the motor boats do not go there. This area close to the wildlife preserve so it provides for great fishing and birdwatching. Lifejackets (6) are provided and highly recommended while on kayaks or swimming. They are stored inside the dock closet. A throwable life preserver is located on front of dock. Extra bungee cords, fishing gear, outdoor games and 2 foam coolers are also in the closet if you want to use them. You will be able to lower the kayak deck using the automatic lift/ lower switch on right side of kayak platform deck. Lower the dock partially into the water so you can easily back kayaks off the platform and row them back up onto platform when your journey is over. Please keep bungee cords secure on any kayaks you’re not using to keep them from floating away and raise the platform to head height before leaving. Life is better at the lake! Book your Lake Houston getaway at the Owls Nuest! A quick drive to Houston, a long way from stress.... IMPORTANT WARNING: Use of the lake is always at your own risk. Please be extremely vigilant if you are bringing kids, pets or people who cannot swim well. Lake side of property is not fenced. Ladders located at bulkhead and on dock can be used if someone does want to go swimming. Please do not dive into lake to avoid injury - ok to swim at your own risk.

This is the perfect location if you want to stay and fish for a few days. Boat house is awesome and the boat ramp is right down the road.

The owner was awesome the place was great we truly enjoyed. Tips for the future the owner should let the neighbors know that they are having people stay that will have an event. Also be sure to take pictures upon arrival and when you leave. The cleaning lady made our leave really bad as if we really stole or broke and trashed the place. I have pictures of the outdoors when we left and not the inside but I did a due diligence of not leaving it a mess for the cleaning person. I washed the dishes and left them in the sink to dry she told the owner the dishes were dirty, that we didnt fix the pillows on the couch and that we stole a vase that we removed and put in the second guess room so it wouldnt get damaged. We swept took out all the trash and also put the sheets in the laundry as requested. The cleaning lady said we left lots of laundry. 5 people stayed for 2 days that was expected. And if there is a cleaning fee then the cleaning lady is to clean we didnt wipe off every surface thoroughly but had I known it was our job to thoroughly clean i would have question the need for a cleaning lady. Things were already broken upon arrival such as the ice tray which wasnt used we brought our own ice. Also the shower floor was damaged and the door know was loose but the place is a little aged and updated so those things seemed to be normal. The wind must have blown pillows in the lake when we left but they were not there when we left. I have pictures of the lake and the yard.

The house was perfect. We loved relaxing on the deck, bird watching, fishing, kayaking, playing games and chilaxing. Our dog loved all the toys, shaded grassy area and swimming. It was the perfect getaway to sign off the summer before school.

We wanted a simple place to relax - this was perfect. Tucked in a quiet spot, right on the lake. Great decks and sitting areas. Host made it as comfortable as needed and everything we didn’t pack was available. Perfect for 2 people and our large dog.

This was the best decision I could have made. Had an amazing time with my 3 year old son for Father’s Day weekend! Full of laughs and smiles. He love the kayaks supplied and the amazing fishing opportunities. Would definitely do it again

Wonderful place for a small family. Our pet had ample, secure space to play. Covered boat slip with power lift worked very well with 19' bass boat.
