Welcome to Under the Oak Montrose! This property is my home and I’d love to share my guest house and gorgeous backyard santuary with you.

Ya'll! The Michelin Guide for Texas came out early 2025. Located within 1 mile radius of 3 Hou restaurants with a Michelin Star, and near so many others recommended. As if you needed another reason to book...

Want to stay just one night? Message me! It's not allowed by default in my calendar but I'm happy to accomodate with a little communication.

The space
The guest house is entirely your space with smartlock entry and has its own patio and bistro dining table which is dedicated for you. The backyard is a shared space that you are welcome to enjoy and you may find my friends and I lounging under the oak in the pool/spa or grilling out.

You are welcome to use the pool (swim at your own risk) and heat up the spa for a good relaxing soak. The pool is shaded so it is nice and cool even the summer months.

Lounge on the pool chaises on a lazy summer day or cozy up under the oak in the tree swing chairs with a book or glass of wine.

Guest access
Access to the property is through a black metal gate with a lockbox adjacent to the driveway.

Access to the guest house is through a smartlock at the french doors on the far left side of the house, near the patio.

Other things to note
The space has modern charm and in the heart of the backyard lives a magnificent old live oak tree. Relax under the oak in a cozy hanging tree swing and listen to the birds, dine al fresco by the pool, or take advantage of this amazing location and explore some of the best sites, culture, and restaurants Houston has to offer.
