Wedding in Brenham

Thank you for giving our family of 20 such a beautiful place to stay while we attended my son’s wedding at Deep in The Heart Farms. Everyone enjoyed the setting, amenities, separate bedrooms each with its own bathroom, the pool and video games. Coffee in the mornings on the back porch and gathering in the den to chat. Every thing was just perfect!

Best Place!!

We recently stayed at this house for our wedding, and it was absolutely perfect. We also hosted our rehearsal dinner here, and the house was ideal for all our activities. The size of the house was just right, providing plenty of space for our guests to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves. Everything was great, from the well-appointed rooms to the lovely outdoor areas. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special occasion. Highly recommend!

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 ā€œwhole houseā€ 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!!!

Wonderful 12 Armadillos!

It was an incredible weekend for our family get together - the Barndominium was spotless and beautiful, and communications with Christa were responsive and easy, the sunsets over the hills gorgeous - all the right stuff. You felt at home on the ranch. There aren't enough stars to rate the 12 Armadillos' Barndominium experience. It's a Texas sweet spot. Superhosts at a superlocale.

About the host

Hosted by Christa Wilson

Host profile image
Two twin sisters and husbands decided to purchase seven acres of land "in the country" together for their families to have a place for weekend getaways. They chose Brenham because there is still a lot of fun things to do in the area and the views on the property are gorgeous. They built the barndo to be an entertainers dream house so they could build memories as their kids (8 between the two families) grew up. They named it the 12 Armadillos because there are 12 of them between the two families. Please check out our Downtown Brenham property that sleeps 18.

Why they chose this property

You will fall in love with the 12 Armadillos Barndo. It has something for all ages and you will want to come back every year! It is close to Houston, Austin, and San Antonio

What makes this property unique

The 12 Armadillos Barndo has beautiful views, great location, really neat grand room for large groups, and a fun atmosphere!
