Great stay. Beautiful house, tons of space, and yes, it’s a 4 storey, so lots of stairs. The elevator was a big help for getting bags up and down, especially with a group.The rooftop patio was excellent for hanging out. We stayed here with a work group of seven and it worked really well for that.Parking was solid. Garage plus driveway easily fit two vehicles. If you have a larger SUV like a Suburban, it may hang over the sidewalk a bit. We had a Porsche Panamera and it was tight, but doable.

I booked The Glass Haus for my husband’s birthday, and it was the perfect choice. The location is excellent, just 15 minutes or less from downtown Houston and the Galleria Mall. The property itself is beautiful, both inside and out. Mrs. Ann, the host, was absolutely amazing. She responded promptly to all my messages and made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend The Glass Haus for anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay with family.
