We had a group of eight adults staying at the house. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything you could possibly need. It was clean and updated. Plenty of room for a our group. We all loved staying there. The view off the back porch in the morning is fabulous. We had one tiny issue, and I called the property manager and reported it. She called right back and had the issue resolved as soon as we left the house. She was very considerate about coming in after we left as not to disturb us. There was plenty of space for all of us. It also includes a full-size washer and dryer.

My family and I enjoyed our stay tremendously, the host was accommodating and available. The home was large and spacious, plenty of room for my family and I. The back porch is a wonderful place to relax and town is not very far away. I would recommend this home for any large family wanting a retreat place. Thank you again for allowing us to stay.

The property was beautiful and so well supplied for families (& really anyone). We truly appreciated the attention to detail, having extras of linens, paper products, etc. Everything was labeled and the best stocked kitchen EVER. I would give you extra stars if I could for how well maintained the knives alone were! So sharp!! Little things like that are so appreciated! We enjoyed all the hummingbirds and it was perfect for our annual friendcation, thank you!!!

The property was exactly what we were looking for and in a perfect location. Extremely clean and comfortable, like being home. Plenty of room to accommodate everyone. Close to the interstate, yet secluded with a great view and perfect sunset. The rockers on the back porch added a special touch for relaxing and enjoying conversation.

The Perfect Getaway for Families!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bluebonnet Ridge! The check-in process was seamless, the host was gracious and responsive, and the kitchen was gorgeous (and VERY well-stocked with all of the drawers and shelves labeled). There were so many thoughtful touches that made this house feel like home, from throw blankets on each bed (plus extra blankets on the couch) to beautiful, high quality bed linens and pillows. The home was spotless and spacious and welcoming. We are already planning a trip back!

Bluebonnet Ridge

The booking and questions we had from our host were done so smoothly. The home was beautiful and so clean. Our family LOVED it. We had a family wedding to attend and it was going to be outdoors on a farm not too far away. The weather was windy, cold and rainy, not the best combination for an outdoor wedding. But we knew that a warm house, bath and bed were waiting for us to greet us after everything. Would highly recommend this property to anyone needing a get away place.

Quiet and Tranquil

Our family members met at the house for a family reunion. The setting of the house is charming and quiet. Everyone enjoyed the house. The kids loved the upstairs area. And the guys enjoyed the outside areas. The living room and kitchen area accommodated all of us when we gather together. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We would stay at this property again.

Wonderful stay for wedding weekend

My family and I stayed at Bluebonnet Ridge for the weekend of a family wedding and it was the perfect location! We had more than enough room for our family and the surrounding area is beautiful. Our host was very accommodating and let us have a late check out so we could host a family brunch the day after the wedding.

Friends for Fifty Years Gather

Bluebonnet Ridge is a jewel in the Texas countryside. Beautiful views of live oaks and deer off the back porch. The kitchen is open, well equipped and easy to move about in. It lacked for nothing and we spent three nights. The dining room table handled eight of us easily. Bedrooms were cute and comfortable. Our favorite area to gather was the loving room and the three comfy couches several movies were watched and lots of talking took place. Communication between host and our group was excellent—the best I have ever encountered in a vacation rental. We look forward to another stay perhaps next spring when the bluebonnets are blooming.

Peaceful Retreat!

Four women who have been close friends for many years really enjoyed our stay at Bluebonnet Ridge. It is a large, comfortable home with a cozy, country feel. It was so nice to sit out on the back porch and take in the nice view. City folks will enjoy seeing the cattle and an occasional deer. Sunsets in the evening were so pretty! The home is very clean and well maintained and has a great layout. We all highly recommend this home!

Graduation Weekend

Our family had a lovely time at Bluebonnet Ridge Farm. We were in town for our daughter's UMHB graduation, and this location and house fit exactly what we needed. We could not have been happier with the property, the view from the covered porch out back, and the house itself. The house was very well appointed and comfortable. The owners were excellent to respond to my communications and accommodating to our needs. I only wish we had the time to stay longer, as I could certainly imagine taking some downtime in this serene setting. I certainly hope to return again, and enjoy more bird and cattle watching while sipping tea on the swing from the back porch. We had a slight issue checking in, but it was due to the VRBO app not working properly for us. It was quickly resolved once the owners were made aware. All this to say, I would highly recommend spending some time at Bluebonnet Ridge Farm. Enjoy the love that has been poured into it.

We loved our stay at this home! We got to meet one of the owners and he was very kind and helpful! We loved learning about the farm and its history. The home is updated but keeps its county and historical beautify! It accommodated all 14 of us! The king back porch looking out over the landscape was the best!

Gerstenberg Farm--FIVE Stars!

Visited Bell County from Friday thru Sunday in late July 2023. The location is EZ to find and not far from the interstate and the city. The home is very clean, spacious, and inviting for visitors. Helena has everything labeled and everything you would need for a visit. The property is great for cross-country walking, and the white-tail deer are out and visible. We really enjoyed our stay and will return if our next dates are available. Thanks. Mark
