Truly Outstanding Rental Home
Courtview Cottage is an outstanding home to rent. The cottage is well appointed with French Country decor and it was spotlessly clean. We lacked for nothing trom the kitchen utensils to TVs and phone chargers in every bedroom. The owner is thoughtful and very attentive to his guests' needs and even had a "Welcome" gift for us upon arrival. The backyard is huge with gathering places at various locations and you feel secure since the entire lot is encompassed with a privacy fence. The outside lighting gives a truly beautiful ambiance while dining at the lovely gathering table. This is definitely the prettiest house on the block!!! We felt like we were on our own estate with all the lovely outdoor facilities. We also loved the history of the home. We would suggest a Blu-Ray DVD player and a simple coffee maker. The final word on this lovely home is...Inviting and desirable.

Wonderful Repeat Visit!
This was our second stay and we can’t wait to come back. Beautiful home, close proximity to Shanty Creek and walking distance to downtown Bellaire. The home is just gorgeous, so many wonderful details and it’s extremely clean and organized.

Great home for a gathering
This home is pristine. The owner gave great attention to detail. Beautifully decorated. We were there in the winter, but the outside had many staged gethering places for entertainment. Walkways were cleared of snow and salted before our arrival. Close to downtown bars, restaurants and Short's Brewery.
