Wonderful floor plan for multiple families and generations! The town of Gonzales is boring so prepare to drive a lot if visiting San Antonio or anywhere. Other than several scorpions in the house (eight in five days) everything was absolutely perfect!! Comfortable, clean, plenty of supplies, really wonderful.
We booked this house for some family and friends to stay at the weekend of my son's wedding in Luling. The location was a little further from the venue than I expected, but the house was beautiful, spacious and relaxing. There was enough room for the groomsmen to gather and get ready before the wedding. We loved the outdoor patio area and game room. I wish we had more time to enjoy all the amenities the house offered. Would definitely book again.
Great historical home, great kitchen, 4 king bedrooms and lots of games. House on a hill with great 360 views. Caught a few bass and perch in the pond. Kitchen has everything you need and HEB only 10 minutes away. Great place for large family or 4 couples to enjoy Gods canvas river, lake, big pecan trees and flowers everywhere. John
The house was beautiful. There was plenty of room to accommodate all eight of us for meals and socializing. The outdoors fire pit area was very enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
Unfortunately , the master bath shower and vanity storage shelves had to be cleaned and the media room bathroom shower area desperately needed cleaning. The house could use a deep cleaning. We also had to put up with 1-2 hour water outages every morning due to the water department shutting off our water supply while working on the bridge that was closed for repairs.

We had a little trouble getting into the house, and the Wi-Fi would not cooperate with my phone to call the manager for help - but we FINALLY figured it out. It was really very simple, we were just tired and frustrated.
It's a nicely secluded property, yet close to town. The house was beautiful, very neat and clean, and everything was there that could possibly be needed. One of the trundle beds had no linens, but Walmart was close by. This is not a complaint, just a suggestion: A ramp or two would be nice for those who are wheelchair bound or who have trouble with their lower extremities, and grab bars for the shower and toilet could be helpful.
After I booked the place, everything with my family went haywire, and we had to make several changes. The Property Manager, Rena, was very helpful and patient through it all, and I am so grateful to her.
We all had a great time, and we are looking forward to a return visit in the near future.
Our family absolutely loved this property. The space was just as described and more. We highly recommend this property if you are looking for peace and quiet.
Beautiful property and great management! We really loved the outdoor patio area! We fished the river and caught a couple of catfish! Would recommend to anyone that is looking for a property with outdoor activities.
We came with a group of 13 friends for a bachelorette party and had a great experience! The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. There was plenty of space in the fridges and common spaces and we would definitely return.
My family stayed at this beautiful house the weekend we got married. It was absolutely amazing, I wish we would of been able to enjoy the house longer!
Beautiful place to stay and relax! Great place to take the kids to fish! We got a ton of catfish and sun perch. If you’re looking to float the river we went to New Braunfels it’s about a hour away from there but totally worth it! We will be back next to enjoy another week there! The property management were great!
The house is outstanding. More than enough space for everyone. The kids had a blast exploring the property. The river access was a bit treacherous for the little kids and grandma. We will definitely stay here again.
The ranch house is very well appointed with attention to detail and custom finishes. Plenty of open spaces and a great mixture of different areas to gather. Wonderful outdoor patio with bar, flatscreen TV, excellent outdoor furniture and nice long table give you views of sunrise and sunset. Little ones have plenty of spaces to explore and hiking the property was glorious. Everyone wants to return!
We stayed at the 9T to attend our family reunion in Gonzales, TX. We had four generations all together ranging from 10 months to 70 years old. The property provided a beautiful backdrop for us to enjoy our time together. The patio was perfect even on a hot summer day equipped with comfortable seating. The interior of the home allowed space to relax and play. We had some playing chess and others in the garage for ping pong. Due to the weather and time commitments, we were unable to enjoy the stocked fishing or river access but hope to do so at our next stay. The home is well equipped and thoughtfully laid out and decorated. The kitchen was more than adequate. Can’t wait to come again!!!
Wonderful! I can't say enough about this property. The layout was so spacious and the kitchen and baths well equipped. The 3 car garage was a bonus room with seating, ping pong table, extra refrigerator, and full bath. Our family of 10 adults and 2 two year olds had plenty of big space to all be together and then optional spaces to gather in small groups and play games or watch something different on tv. The outdoor patio was VERY spacious and we gathered there too! The yard was fenced so we brought our fur babies and never worried they could get loose. It was super nice to let them out on their own instead of walk them on a leash at 5-6 am. There was plenty of seating for meals and the kitchen had the most supplies of any place we've ever stayed. The toddler-proof dishes were an added bonus. Fishing in the tank was enjoyed by all. The perfect perch tank for our littles to have a fun fishing experience. I highly recommend more than just a weekend stay. We stayed 3 nights but wished we could have stayed more. We have celebrated family with an overnight weekend for over 10 years now. This was the best place we've stayed! Highly recommend!!
