Secret Garden-Near Downtown Houston-Private Entry

Please tell us about yourself and your stay when you inquire. This is our home and we want to get to know the people that will be staying.

Spacious private room with your own private entrance off of a secret garden. Relax to the sound of a waterfall, enjoy the serenity of the 14 foot stream with fish and turtles. You will hardly believe you are right in the middle of the city. Downtown Houston—8 miles Medical Center —8-12 miles

Snacks are in your room for you to snack on or for breakfast. Enjoy them by the pond or while swinging in a hammock. Free off street parking.

Many can't believe that the secret garden is in the middle of Houston. You can not see it from the road, and when you find that your bedroom door opens to the center of it, you will be delighted. Is there magic here? Children believe it is magical. Adults take a deep breath and linger at the pond commenting about how peaceful they feel.

It is a private room and has no kitchen access. There is a fridge and microwave in the room and there are many different restaurants close by including Mexican, Starbucks, BBQ, Subway. Simple snacks are provided.

I live and work on the premises so if you should have a need or a question I'm usually here. Your entrance is private with no access to my home. Come and go as you like. I work in the back building.

If you like, and I am available, I can give you a tour of my monumental sculpture of Alice in Wonderland's Mad Hatter tea party. It is located in Houston, in Evelyn's Park. There is no charge for this, though I'm highly motivated by the promise of a meal. It also hosts 150 hidden things in honor of the 150th anniversary of the story. It proves to be the best selfie spot in Texas. I also have souvenir collectibles of some of the 150 hidden things for purchase. I work both digitally and traditionally and have written a book about the process. It is also available for purchase. Depending on what is happening in the studio behind my home, I'd also be happy to show you around. Please let me know when you are booking that you would love to have a Wonderland experience.

Feel free to make this space your creative space. It is great for a writers retreat, to finish those pages, or simply a get away.
Just seven miles to downtown Houston, and nine miles to the medical center.
Visiting nurses and guests that need to sleep in will enjoy the black out curtains.

There is an LA fitness very close to my home. You can walk there in 10 -15 minutes. They offer day passes and have classes.


The room has a microwave and fridge/freezer. Many have made contact about long term stay, especially since it is convenient to downtown and the medical center. I certainly encourage that, however the room has its limitations. At this time there are no kitchen privileges. The room does not contain the type of sink that is conducive to cleaning dishes, nor would I want food going down that part of the plumbing.

Cleaning- For long term stay guests. The room will be cleaned once a week on Wednesdays 12 and 3:00p.m. I'll let you know in advance. There will be an additional fee agreed upon and paid before your arrival. Linens and towels will be changed, trash taken out and general cleaning, as well as watering plants and replacing necessary materials.

Discounts for log term stay. Please do not inquire about further discounts for long term stay.
