On rare occasions, part of our family may be staying in the private casita (available to rent upon request if extra space is needed) located on the side of the home. The casita has its own entrance and garage, ensuring privacy. We do not use the outdoor areas during guest stays, so you will have the entire backyard and amenities to yourselves.

Thank you, Angie! We’re so glad you enjoyed the space and that the backyard was a hit with the kids—that’s one of our favorite parts of the home too. We’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in the area!
5 stars all the way! Our extended family of 21 was well accommodated. 5 families and each had their own sleeping space. The home is beautiful and very spacious with more than enough room. The extra washers and dryers were great for the families. The real highlight is the pool, basketball court’ hot tub and the wonderful outdoor space for us all to hang out. My wife also loved learning about One Common Thread Quilts you are part of. The quilting completed projects around home are amazing. This is a special home. If you are looking for a first class vrbo for your large group this is the one!

Thank you so much, Lou, for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! It means so much to us to hear that your extended family of 21 was so comfortably accommodated and that each family had their own space to relax and enjoy the stay.
We’re thrilled that you loved the home and all of the amenities, especially the pool, basketball court, hot tub, and outdoor gathering space. Creating a place where families can come together, make memories, and still have room to spread out is exactly what we hope for.
It was especially meaningful to hear that your wife enjoyed learning about One Common Thread Quilts and appreciated the quilted pieces throughout the home. Those touches are very close to our hearts and help make the home feel truly special.
Thank you again for choosing our home for your family gathering and for your wonderful recommendation. We would be honored to host you and your family again anytime!

About the host
Hosted by Trent Kimball
My husband and I are proud parents of nine children, and family is at the center of everything we do. Back in 2003, what began as a small sketch on a napkin grew into the dream home we’ve been blessed to live in for the past 20 years. We’ve cared for this home as if it were our tenth child, filling it with love, laughter, and countless memories. Because of our large family, we wanted to create a home that felt like a resort—where kids could play freely, friends could gather, and everyone had space to relax. That vision became The Star House.
We’re originally from Texas and love spending time outdoors, traveling together, and enjoying big family meals. What we enjoy most about hosting is opening our home to other families and watching them create their own special memories here. It’s a sacred place for us, and it brings us joy to share it with you. We simply ask that you treat it with the same care and respect that we always have.
Why they chose this property
The Star House is perfectly located in North Central San Antonio, giving you easy access to everything the city has to offer. You’ll be just minutes from restaurants, shopping, and grocery stores, as well as a short drive from amusement parks like Six Flags and SeaWorld, the famous River Walk downtown, outlet shopping in San Marcos, and several beautiful Texas lakes.
What we love most about this neighborhood is how peaceful and family-friendly it feels, while still being close to all the action. It’s the best of both worlds—quiet mornings with a view of the temple, and adventure just around the corner.
That said, many of our guests tell us their favorite memories are right here at The Star House—lazy afternoons by the pool, kids laughing on the playground, and evenings gathered around the outdoor fireplace. This home was built for family fun, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. Your stay here not only gives you a place to create lasting memories, it also helps us support our kids through college—something we’re very grateful for.
What makes this property unique
What makes The Star House unique is that it was designed from the ground up with family in mind. Unlike most vacation rentals, this isn’t just a house—it’s a home created to bring people together. With four sets of washers and dryers, three refrigerators, and plenty of beds and sleeping spaces for up to 21 guests, it’s built to comfortably handle large families and groups.
The backyard sets us apart: a sunken trampoline, elevated playground with swings and climbing wall, half-court basketball, two full-size resort-style pools, and towering oak trees that shade nearly an acre of space. Add in the outdoor fireplace, grill, and games for kids and grandkids, and you’ll quickly see why so many families say they hardly leave the property during their stay.
This home was designed to make family memories—whether that’s a big reunion, a holiday gathering, or just time away to reconnect. It couldn’t be a more family-friendly home.
