FOUND! Multi-family Lakefront/Weekly Discounts!
This place had some of the most beautiful lake views. The house was very spacious for my family of 4. It was very quiet and comfortable, we felt right at home. Michelle is the nicest sweetest host. So personable it felt like I was communicating with one of my friends. I would highly recommend this beautiful home and without any doubt we would stay here again. 😁

Lux Lakefront Home w/ Overhanging Deck + Kayaks
Perfect place for my group to stay for our friend’s wedding weekend. 5 bed/ 5.5 bath was incredibly convenient. The airbnb was spacious and fit us all comfortably. The outdoors was a wonderful space to tan, socialize, and kayak. Great security. Modern amenities throughout. Had everything we needed. Neighborhood was a little run down, but we felt safe and the neighbors we encountered on our morning walk were only friendly and welcoming. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

*Modern Coastal Home with Lake Conroe Views*
Matthew and Riani are fantastic hosts! They are quick to reply to all inquiries.. The house is spacious, comfortable and in a beautiful location with nice amenities.. clubhouse, pools etc! My family had a lot of fun playing pool and ping pong! Hope we can return sometime soon!

Lake Livin' & Margaritaville Chillin'
Kim was a great host! Beautiful spot, and tons a space for our group of couples. The kitchen was easy to make meals in, and we had lots of porch time. We had a few young children, and it had the essentials that we needed and then some. We would return!

Peaceful and comfortable place to stay. Enjoyed the water side deck.

Lakefront Home private pool 4 BR/3 bath
Our family enjoyed the house. It was clean and accommodated 6 adults and 2 children and an infant. The pool was great for the kids, the hot tub was fun, and there’s a dock to fish from. The laundry room has an additional refrigerator, so there’s plenty of room for food and drinks for everyone. We spent most of our days outside on the big back porch with the pool and tv and dining table. Very comfortable. The inside of the house included tv’s in every bedroom and a vaulted ceiling in the living room which made it a great place to cool off in after swimming. The neighborhood is pretty and quiet. We had an issue with a light in the living room and a handy man was sent out quickly. We’re already planning for next year!

Red Door Retreat- Stroll to Main St. X & festivals
My family came down for a wedding and this was a really nice place to be! We even brought our dog, which she enjoyed being in the big back yard! The location was really close to the stores, restaurants, and close to where the wedding was located. Allison was a wonderful host! She responded promptly and made sure she answered any questions or concerns I had! The things we forgot to bring or forgot to get from the store, those things were provided there at the home! If you ever need an Airbnb in Tomball, TX, make sure you consider this home!

4 Bedroom Home With Big Fenced Yard For The Pup
I had booked a different AIRBNB for my stay but due to issues needed to find another place to stay. I had inquired about this house before my trip but choose another place due to the many steps here. Fortunately, Clinton's place was still available so he was able to get me in the next day. I was traveling with my dog so it is not easy to find an AIRBNB to accommodate a 40 lb dog. I will say my dog loved the back yard ! There is a upper back deck so she was able to be on the deck and look over the neighborhood. There are a lot of steps as this is a traditional bi-level house. The coffee bar was very much appreciated and very well stocked. There is a Ninja coffeemaker that will prepare drip coffee or you can use the Keurig. House was exactly as described and very clean. Neighborhood is peaceful and quite, while still being a very close drive to all kinds of shops and dining. Host was very responsive to all my questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Family/fire-pit/fireplace/Garage/Safe Place
I absoluety loved my stay! The house was very clean and spacious. The host was very clear with her instructions and rules. Also all attractions were 15-30mins away so the location is amazing! 10/10

Houston’s Spacious HM w/4 Bedroom & Pet Friendly!
Veronica’s place was just like the pictures, very clean, and beautiful! She had everything we needed for myself, husband, sister and our 3 teens! Neighborhood was quiet, no complaints, and it’s about 15-20 min from everything! Great host! I would definitely book here again! She even had fresh goodies waiting for us! ☺️

Long term stays welcome
Thanks for the help and stay!

Breezy Meadow in Cypress Pets Friendly
Great place! Perfect for families with children.

Clean & Comfy Vibe! Champion~The Vintage~Klein
This house was great. It is such a good location for us as we had a family gathering in Tomball. We really appreciated how nicely appointed the house was. The beds were very comfortable in both rooms. And our pup LOVED the yard. Azure was so very responsive. Nothing was wrong with the house at all, we just communicated with timing on everything. We certainly will be back.

Ranch Style Home- Family Friendly Cozy/Quiet
The house was exactly as described and in the perfect location for my trip. Samuel was so commutative and helpful, and we will absolutely be staying there again!

★Spacious 3Bed★2 Living RM's★ QUIET Neighborhood
Thanks! My family had a lovely stay here. It felt right like home. We regularly hung out in one of the two living areas watching Netflix, eating, or working. The couches are all very comfy, and I found the bed in the back bedroom also very comfortable with several pillow options. The kitchen had everything I needed to cook several meals, including oil and seasonings- thanks! The hosts quickly responded when we had a couple questions. It was easy to get in to the house and it was the EASIEST CHECKOUT EVER!! I also appreciated the willingness of the hosts to let me reschedule by shifting a week (from illness) right before check-in. The only con I can think of is that it *might be a little complicated to get in/out during mornings or afternoons when the nearby school is in session. (But there was no school scheduled during my stay, so I'm simply guessing.)

Your guide to The Woodlands
All About The Woodlands
With lakefront paths, large swaths of green spaces, and perfectly ordered residential streets, The Woodlands is a planned community that stretches for 27,000 acres. Located just half an hour north of downtown Houston in southeast Texas, The Woodlands is surrounded by two scenic bodies of water and thousands of acres of protected pine forests, so there are plenty of options for enjoying the outdoors. Swan boats and paddleboards drift along the Woodlands Waterway, which runs through the center of town, and the 1,700-acre George Mitchell Nature Preserve offers over 220 miles of trails for hiking and biking.
In town, you can find a variety of shops on Market Street and at The Woodlands Mall, as well as dining options along the Woodlands Waterway. From sophisticated rooftop bars to traditional Texas barbecue restaurants, The Woodlands’ upscale vibe blends with its Texas roots. The outdoor Pavilion regularly hosts some of the biggest musicians in the country. Within close proximity to downtown Houston as well as Lake Conroe, the Woodlands is a great home base for exploring Houston and its surrounding areas.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in The Woodlands
The Woodlands has hot, humid summers and cold, rainy winters. Both fall and spring are short but offer perfect weather for outdoor activities. Spring is a popular time to book a vacation rental in the Woodlands as temperatures are pleasant, and the wildflowers are blooming. There are fun events in the spring, such as Bike the Woodlands Day in May. Summer can be quite hot, especially in July and August, but there are plenty of shady areas and public splash pads throughout the city where you can keep cool.
Fall is generally warm until November. You can experience the Lighting of the Doves Festival in November, where the entire city celebrates the start of the holiday season with games, activities, and a fireworks show. Although it rarely snows in The Woodlands, temperatures can reach freezing, so you will want to pack layers. The ice rink in the town center is a popular activity during the winter months.
