Incredible property and amazing hosts!!

We couldn't have scripted a better stay in the Rio Grande Valley and the Bryan House was the perfect space as an anchor for our adventures. Historic and filled with class this house and property took us back in time and made us feel like post-Victorian royalty. From butterflies to Chachalacas the outdoor greenery and secluded spaces made for incredible strolls and outdoor dining experiences. Can't wait to go back and enjoy it over and over again. Thanks for everything!!

Breathtaking Experience

My family and I stayed at this place because it had the space needed for hosting a family reunion for 25 people on Christmas Eve. To our surprise, this home offered much, much more. The outdoors is filled with nature - from the beautiful birds and butterflies to the beautiful greenery. The inside of the house is beautiful, quaint and spacious. Our host, Ariel was amazing. She had fresh eggs, granola and yogurt for us. Ariel even came out to the property the day of our reunion to make sure the grounds were well kept. If you are looking for a place that provides history and nature, this is a perfect place. We will definitely come back!
