12 Armadillos, new favorite animal
We were in town for a friends wedding and jumped at the opportunity to get the family together. With all the amenities and location to town, yet out of town, 12 Armadillos couldn’t have been more perfect for us. Closest thing to bringing the “whole house” with us. Space, comfort, and cleanliness surpassed our expectations. Will definitely return when visiting the area again. We are already looking for a reason to return.

Nothing short of Awesome!
Our family is always on the hunt for "the best of the best" in accommodations for our weekend getaways, and we were not disappointed in this Gorgeous Barndo! We found everything to be exactly as described in the listing, if not better. You really have to see it to understand the uniqueness of this place. The Barndo location was perfect and close to town, the check-in process was simple, and the Barndo was clean and ready for us to start having fun. There was even a cute little welcome gift awaiting us when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked, and the comfy bedrooms and bathrooms were well-appointed. We had a large group of between 19 to 21 there at various times during the weekend and it was so nice having enough space for everyone to spread out. Some played pool, some worked puzzles on the long table in the great room, some hung out on the long porch, others played ping pong or Pacman. Others just chilled with a cold drink at the bar. I can't describe how nice it was to have a large enough space for each little group to do their own thing but in the same room so that no one ever felt like they were missing out. The host was incredibly responsive and gracious, answering every question and keeping us informed even when a minor repair needed to be made ahead of our stay. I really appreciated that kind of attention to detail. It will be hard to find another rental that will surpass the experience we had here. That's why we plan on returning as soon as we are able! :)

Awesome Wedding Weekend
We had a family wedding in Brenham and needed a place to host the rehearsal dinner, the groom's party, and some family for the long weekend. This barndo was the perfect spot to handle it all! The great room was fantastic to host a beautiful dinner and the rooms were excellent to host those staying the whole weekend. It is close enough to town to be convenient but far enough out to feel like you have gotten away from it all. The barndo is very well stocked with pretty much anything you will need and then some! I can't say enough about the hosts! They were super responsive and helpful throughout the process! Make a reservation, you will be glad you did!

Great Family Reunion
We had a big family reunion over Christmas and 12 Armadillos was the perfect venue. We had family coming from overseas so the Barndo was perfect to give them a real Texas experience. Bedrooms were ample and very comfortable; enough for each family group to have their own room and bathroom. The big living room and social area hosted all family events, dinners and long conversations. Adults enjoyed the ample bar and games, while kids entertained themselves at the game room. The firepit area was great to enjoy the spectacular Sunsets, drinks and food, and we got really great weather after the Christmas cold, so we took advantage of the open property for some baseball, football, cornhole and grilling. Overall an excellent stay! Thank you Christa for the hospitality and flawless booking and communication.

Thank you so much for having this house for others to enjoy!!! We had a wedding in Brenham and our whole family was able to stay in the house and it was the best weekend! Everyone - even the kids - put down their electronics to enjoy everything this place had to offer. The games, pool table, ping pong and all of the outside games were used constantly! This house had everything we needed and more! Each bedroom having its own bathroom was perfect! The kitchen was fully stocked and everything was so comfortable!! All of us were able to relax and enjoy every bit of time we had there I only wish it was longer!! If you are on the fence about renting this place, do it! You won’t regret it!!!

This property is amazing! It’s exactly what we anticipated from the pictures and more. It’s very spacious, clean, and full of activities for our school aged to high-school aged kids, including a scavenger the younger children enjoyed. The owners were responsive and quick to respond to our group’s needs; their attention to detail is stellar. It’s very apparent that they take pride in the home they share with their guests; there was nothing lacking! We look forward to visiting again the next time we have a large gathering with friends and family.

Wonderful Location for a Family Reunion!
I rented the Barndo for a family reunion after we hadn't been able to see each other for 3+ years thanks to COVID. We had attendees from 3-65 years old in the house and it was a blast. The main living area is a true gem and was a great place for everyone to gather for meal times every day, play pool, watch movies, have game nights, etc. The kitchen area was spacious, well stocked and easy to cook in every day. We also loved the separate bar area for making drinks / keeping back up drinks cool, etc. We hosted Barndo Olympics on the side yard, which everyone said was the highlight of their stay and the outdoor fans were so clutch in the Texas summer heat. The Barndo is also very close to HEB, Walmart and downtown Brenham so you can get out and explore / run errands very easily. Two observations: WiFi was a little hard to reliably connect to once we had more than 25 people in the house (but that seems fair, frankly!) and the bathroom situation on the second floor is definitely lopsided (one bathroom for two bedroom and the bunk room). We didn't mind because it was all family so folks upstairs just used bathrooms on the main level (every bedroom on the main level has its own bathroom), but something to consider when you're doing room assignments. Overall, we loved the Barndo and would definitely consider it again for family reunions. It's clearly a place that is built with love and well-thought out. Thank you for hosting us!
