The hosts were just wonderful. I was greeted warmly upon arrival and had several lovely chats during my stay. The inside accommodations were clean and charming, and I spent quite a bit of time on the swing on the patio. I definitely recommend spending time here

Truly a peaceful place to stay

I arrived here and noticed how quiet it was. I was exhausted and was able to nap after checking myself in. All instructions were easy to understand and applicable. As far as the hosts, Rick and Margaret were very accomodating. If i had questions, i was able to approach them and they both greeted me. But they also respected my privacy. Their back yard is a work of art. Be prepared to leave suburbian Houston as you walk through that gate. Enjoy your stay as much as I enjoyed mine.

Amazing property & hosts

Rick & Margaret allowed us to use their beautiful yard for our wedding. It was absolutely perfect and they were so helpful and kind. They truly went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for being so wonderful!

It was an absolute joy to host your wedding! When we first started with Vrbo I always said to my wife I can get this place looking special and have a feeling to it that is refined, relaxed, and yet comfortable. Thank you both for enjoying it and allowing my vision of the unit and outdoor space to be fulfilled. We both wish you many years of health, happiness, and joy. Rick and Margaret

Small backyard ceremony

My wife and I had a great experience staying here. Rick and his wife were nice enough to let us have a small backyard wedding at their place, during this crazy time. The place was thoroughly cleaned before we got there, the backyard and patio area was big enough to have the small ceremony. Overall we enjoyed this place and we can’t thank the owners enough for allowing us to to be able to get married here when we couldn’t find somewhere else to do it.

Houston in June

Another wonderful stay. As always, Margaret and Rick are exceptional hosts. Engaging, conversational when I needed it. As well as privacy when I needed it. The property is incredibly clean and inviting. It is so relaxing to come home after a long day on my business trip. One special note for those of you thinking about securing this place...the toilet paper is high quality. LOL. Love you both, hope to see you soon.

Outstanding - Great for a Business traveler or for a Tourist

I chose this property because of the proximity to my work in Houston. The home is nestled in a park like area. Rick and Margaret are amazing hosts. They are sensitive to when you need your space, but were always available for socialization. I have made 2 new amazing friends in Houston. They are such a blessing to me. The space is tastefully decorated and warm and inviting. It had everything I needed after a long day at work. The King size bed was extremely comfortable and was a wonderful surprise. When my business trip was extended for several days, I was welcomed with open loving arms, several hugs and a chicken and dumping dinner, prepared by Rick (Yummy). I will definitely stay at the Bungalow on the Bayou for my next trip, whether it be business or pleasure, I know where my home is in Houston, TX. This property is a hidden gem in Houston. I love you, Rick and Margaret, to the moon and back. Thank you for everything you did. See you soon.

I must say we are touched, honored, and a bit overwhelmed by Judy's lovely review. We do try to meet the needs and wishes of all our guests needs here at the Bungalow. However, every once in a while, you meet an individual with whom you just know it's like meeting a long lost friend, you just haven't met them before. Judy is that type of person for us. She is wonderful, intelligent, charming, and respectful. She is without a doubt the perfect guest. The type all hosts hope to have at their property. She personifies all the reasons why Margaret and I enjoy hosting so much. She renewed our vigor for hosting and brought to the forefront of our mind again, the joy we receive from all the work that it does take to do so. Thank you Judy, we already miss you... Next time I'll make you that 'famed' Cheesecake! lol Be well and come back soon! :)
