Rambling Ranch was great for a friends get together with young kids. The host was very responsive when we had an issue with the TV and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies.
The home is a great plan for a large group with lots of space and things to do. It's convenient to Texas A&M. The home has been extensively used and is pretty tired. Lots of deferred maintenance needs to be addressed.
Wonderful place for our families to gather for our Christmas celebration. The large kitchen was perfect and the house was beautifully decorated for the holidays.
Family weekend to celebrate two Aggie graduates! Large, relaxing, beautiful property to spend family time!

Great for family gatherings!
Nicely furnished, well-stocked kitchen and loads of space for a family gathering. Wrap-around porch was a great place to hang out. In the country, but not too far from town.
It was large enough for all of us. Plenty of room to sleep us all. Had a great time and would do it again.

Wonderful rental!
This is a great home for a large group. We came in to town with for the football game, a group of three families with several kids. The home is beautiful, conveniently located to get to town quickly, comfortable beds, great kitchen area and room for everyone. We will come back for future visits!
We loved the farmhouse feel and the beautiful country surroundings. The house had everything we needed. We had a lot of room to accommodate 3 generations of family for graduation weekend. The rental company/owners were easy to work with and responded quickly to our request to add a night to our stay. We would certainly stay there again!
The stay was wonderful! The kids and adults had a great time in the game room. The kitchen was laid out well with plenty of utensils and space to prep meals. 11 of us met from different locations! The property manager was very nice and helped us when we realized we left something behind.
Our family of sixteen had a fabulous time at this spacious farmhouse built for fun and relaxation as well. We all enjoyed the Christmas deck inside and out. The grandkids especially enjoyed the game tables upstairs. We wouldn’t definitely stay again.

College Station rental
Our 4 families had a fantastic time together over New Years Eve. The size of the house and the yard were perfect for our larger group. The reason I rated our stay at 4 stars were because of the following:
-Check-in was at 4:00 and the cleaners were still there at 4:45.
-The hot tub was not working the first day we got there. The owners came out the 2nd day to fix. It got warm by 9:45 that night. The owners were very friendly!
-The picture of the backyard in the listing makes it seem much much bigger than it actually is.
-We constantly had flies in the house. (Most likely because of our proximity to the horse stables.)
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Wonderful place for a Family Christmas
The ranch was just beautiful!
There was a Christmas tree already up and decorated and some wonderful lights over the fireplace that made it feel like Christmas the minute we walked in. This is a great place for a family reunion or gathering.
The owners and property managers were fantastic and very, very accommodating. Wonderful people!!!
The property was very clean and there were only a couple of things that did not work well for our group.
Because we had small kids whom we wanted to bath every night, neither of the bathtubs could be plugged. We came up with a way to do it but if we hadn't, there would have been no way to give the kids baths.
There were some lights out and we replaced most of them with bulbs we bought ourselves. I am sure the owners would have done that but we did not want to bother them during the holidays any more than we needed to.
This was a great place to stay and if you are looking for a fun location with lots of rooms, this is the place for you!!!
A very good place for a large family gathering (we had 10 adults and 4 children). Nice country feel, but close to HEB, medical care (we had 3 of our family ill). Our only suggestions would be: a few more towels (kitchen and bath). We thoroughly enjoyed having so much room.
Great place with plenty of space and nice amenities

Magnificent house with delightful country charm!
The Rambling Ranch provided us with a wonderful setting to get away and celebrate with friends, and the owners were incredibly gracious and a joy to work with. We will definitely be staying here again in the future. Thanks for the great experience!
