Everything about this property is excellent! The historic home is stunningly beautiful & superbly decorated. The backyard & pool area is a great place to kick back & relax. It is within walking distance to cute little restaurants Iocated on the town square. The owners are unbelievably accommodating & a joy to work with. This property provided the perfect setting for a wonderful weekend getaway with friends!
This spacious modernized historic home has a modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms, and a lovely backyard. It’s literally a block from downtown Gonzales. We didn’t use the pool because it’s March, but it looked very inviting. I highly recommend this place if you are coming to Gonzales.

Outstanding Home and Experience!
We loved staying at this home, and didn't want to leave on the day of our check out. Louis was great to communicate with, and he made sure that we were comfortable and taken care of. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, and so beautiful. We spent a lot of time in the gorgeous kitchen, and appreciated all the space to spread out in. We played ping pong, swam in the pool and enjoyed hanging out in the backyard. We truly felt like we were on vacation! We walked to the Crepe place for breakfast, and were within a few minutes drive from our other destinations. We're from Minnesota, and have family in the area. We can't wait for our next visit to this lovely property!!
Amazing stay and host. Stayed at this gorgeous home for the National Bike Roundup and enjoyed the space, amenities and comfort of home. When your in the vicinity and looking for a great place to stay, make this your choice.
Great location, close to our event. Owners have done a fabulous job decorating the house along with the highlighting the history of Gonzales. Thank you!
Thank you for providing such a lovely home for our stay. There are so many thoughtful, extra special touches that make it feel homey. The Christmas decor was an unexpected treat! The house is clean, comfortable, and the location is great too. The owner was responsive and easy to contact. We will be booking again. Thank you so much!
Could no have been a more perfect place, thanks, thanks, thanks!!!

Definitely stay in this one!
We met in Gonzales for a family meetup near my brother in Shiner. This home is beautifully refinished, not overboard, with a stellar kitchen and backyard. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the neighborhood is quiet. Easy walk to many restaurants including the Come And Take It Bar and Grill and Dairy Queen. The proximity to both Austin and San Antonio made for great day trips with a refreshing pool available to end the day. Definitely stay in this one!
Great home in the center of Gonzales, TX. Louis was great and made check in and out easy. Highly eecommmend this place and will stay here again. 5 stars!
