Why families choose a house over a hotel room

A stay at the Texas Medical Center is rarely one night. Treatment cycles, transplant work-ups, surgical recovery and long admissions all pull families to Houston for weeks at a time, and a hotel room near the campus is the most expensive and least comfortable way to absorb that.

A whole house changes the arithmetic. Instead of two or three rooms, one home sleeps up to eight or nine. Instead of eating out for every meal, there's a full kitchen. Instead of a garage fee each day, parking is free on the property. And instead of a corridor of strangers, there's a living room where a family can actually sit together at the end of a hard day.

Set up for medical stays specifically

  • Free on-site parking — no campus garage rate, no permit
  • Full kitchen with cookware and dining for eight, for restricted or post-treatment diets
  • In-unit washer and dryer — important when a stay runs long
  • Smart-lock entry after 3:00 PM, no front desk, no key handover
  • Quiet residential streets, not a busy hospital-adjacent block
  • Flexible dates where the calendar allows, because discharge dates move
  • Licensed Houston short-term rentals: STR-2025-002197 and STR-2025-002196

Getting to the campus

Both homes sit south of downtown on the same side of the city as the medical campus, so the drive doesn't cross the worst of Houston's downtown congestion.

The two homes

Med Center Cottage — 3 BR, sleeps 9

The closer of the two to the medical campus, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and space for up to nine guests. Suits an extended family taking turns at the hospital, or a patient with several relatives in town for a procedure.

NRG Stadium Home — 3 BR, sleeps 8

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and up to eight guests, with the same free parking and full kitchen. Pet-friendly, which matters to guests who won't leave a service or companion animal behind for a long stay.

Base Camp — both homes together

Booked as one package: 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, up to 17 guests. Used by large families during a serious admission and by visiting clinical teams who want everyone on one street.

Weekly and monthly rates

Rates drop at 7 nights and again at 30, which is where most medical stays land:

Common Questions

What guests ask before a medical stay.

How far are the homes from the Texas Medical Center?

About 2.5 miles, roughly a 12 minute drive. Baylor Hospital is about 4.6 miles or 10 minutes. Both homes are on the same side of Houston as the TMC campus, so the commute does not cross downtown traffic.

Is there parking, and does it cost extra?

Yes, free parking on the property, included in the rate. Families staying through a long treatment often find that alone saves more than the difference against a hotel near the campus.

Can a family stay together during a hospital admission?

That is what these homes are set up for. Each is an entire 3-bedroom house sleeping up to 8 or 9 people, with a full kitchen, laundry and living space, so relatives can rotate at the hospital without booking several hotel rooms.

Do you offer discounts for longer treatment stays?

Yes. Rates step down at 7 nights and again at 30 nights. A month-long stay starts at $87 per night at the NRG Stadium Home and $91 per night at the Med Center Cottage, and the host can confirm an exact figure for your dates.

Is the kitchen suitable for restricted diets?

Each home has a full kitchen with a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, cookware, dishes and dining for eight. Guests managing post-treatment or restricted diets can cook every meal rather than relying on hospital cafeterias and takeaway.

What if our discharge date moves?

Hospital timelines shift and the host expects it. Message as soon as you know and dates will be adjusted where the calendar allows. Booking direct means dealing with the owner rather than a platform's automated change policy.

How late can we check in?

Check-in is any time after 3:00 PM by personal smart-lock code, with no front desk and no key handover. Checkout is 11:00 AM. Late arrivals after a long day at the hospital are not a problem.
