We had an absolutely amazing stay! The hosts went above and beyond—early check-in and late checkout made our trip so easy. The home is incredibly spacious with plenty of cozy hangout areas, from the huge open living space to the game areas with ping-pong and a pool table (they even DoorDashed extra ping-pong balls for us!). Every bedroom was comfortable, charmingly named, and perfectly themed.We enjoyed stunning sunsets every evening and loved gathering around the fire pit. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for our Thanksgiving dinner, and the thoughtful touches—a bag of ice and a full s’mores kit waiting for us—made it even more special. It was the perfect place for our families to celebrate together. Highly recommend!
This was the most amazing and absolutely perfect place to stay! The house was clean, well stocked and the host Christa was PERFECT!! So responsive and attentive to our needs!! We will definitely be back to this house for a getaway to the country!! Highly recommend this house and 12 Armadillos in general for a place to stay with a large group!! The bathroom in each of the 6 rooms downstairs was an AMAZING GAME CHANGER!!

Thank you so much Leslie! We would love for you guys to return.
What a WONDERFUL venue for a family gathering. Another great feature...the property is "senior" friendly. Spaciousness, private bathrooms for 6 of the bedrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable beds are just a few of the outstanding features of this property. Christa was great to work with. She was extremely responsive to my questions. All the cousins said they want to come back again.

Thanks so much for renting the Barndo and for the kind words!
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!
We had a wonderful stay at the Barndo! It was exactly as it looked in the pictures. What a wonderful place to have our family gathered together for the holidays.
This property was PERFECT for a familyweekend in Brenham for my son’s wedding. The couple’s familys, ranging in age from 4 months to 72 were very comfortable in this roomy property. We hosted a small dinner the night before the wedding and the property had every amenity that you could want for a casual party including a beautiful sunset, and the caterer we used had been to the property many times before and was perfectly comfortable in the kitchen. We could not have chosen a better property for a very important weekend.
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!
The house was wonderful, the younger adults loved all of the games and activities to do. It was especially nice that all 6 downstair bedrooms had their own bathroom. Would definitely stay there again

About the host
Hosted by Christa Wilson
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!
