Whatabarndo was the perfect getaway!!

This was the perfect size property for my family of 15. The location was nice and serene and very relaxing. Both the main house and guest house was very beautiful and clean upon arrival. Communication with the property owner, Skip, was very prompt and informative. The pool and spa were a hit with everyone as well as the game room and pool table! Plenty of outside seating. Would most definitely book this property again!!!

Framily Getaway

Annual tradition of getting 2 families together for a getaway. Whatabarndo did not disappoint. Great sunsets, big fire in the fire pit each night and the occasional visit from the neighbors cows made this spectacular. Can’t wait to visit again!!

Beautiful property. Not clean, I had to clean especially the kitchen. Could not use game room, strong odor, very noisy night due to high winds & spinners on roof. Also, had too dust furniture. Nice pool & outdoor area. Good location for us to visit family.

Work sales meeting/get away

I rented this place for 7 of us that work together to have a small sales meeting/get away. This place was exactly what we where looking for, nice clean pool, spacious enough for 7 grown men to have enough space apart and also with a great layout for us to be together. Booking it was easy and communication with owner was quick and easy. We would definitely look at coming back again.

Family Reunion

We were looking for a great place to enjoy visiting with our family--we wanted a central location in East Texas. This was perfect! The houses/property were exactly as billed and very clean. Skip was easy to communicate with and always got right back to us on check-in instructions, pool instructions, etc. No complaints at all! We would definitely stay here again. Johnny

Great TX spring break

The houses were beautifully decorated, both kids and adults loved the spaces. Amazing showers, comfortable beds, lots of space. It was very clean. They had welcome baskets (even a welcome treat for the dog) and thought of all the extras (board games, outside games, firewood, smores roasters, dog bowls, laundry soap, dish soap, coffee, tea, soap, shampoo, etc). Property is large. We had a few issues with pool heat (but owner communicated well when issues came up).

Relaxing Stay! Whatabarndo!

Skip was very responsive and accommodating for our stay. The barn was clean and tidy upon arrival. We had a great time playing in the large field behind the barn - plenty of space to throw the football and frisbees. I would definitely stay here again. One note: You're in the country... bring bug spray! :) Thankfully we had spray so we could enjoy being outside around dusk. Thanks Skip!

Fantastic Family Getaway at the Barndominium

Our recent stay at the Barndominium was absolutely fantastic. Skip's exceptional service and communication throughout the booking process and during our stay ensured that our extended family get-together over a long weekend was perfect. The Barndominium created an ideal setting for relaxation and quality family time. The well-maintained pool offered refreshing relief from the Texas heat and the game room with a pool table provided endless entertainment for all. The separate houses on the property allowed each family member to have their own space while fostering togetherness. We were impressed by Skip's attentiveness and dedication to ensuring a seamless experience, making us feel valued and well taken care of. We would not think twice about staying here again.

Our Wedding Weekend

Skip and his property are both incredible! Whatabarndo was perfect for us. We booked last minute as a last minute change to better accommodate our family for the weekend. My wife and I we're married on Saturday April 1st in Emory. Skip walked me through everything and made it all happen with ease. Property is clean and quiet, we all had plenty to do between the games and the pool. The property is definitely a one of a kind and is worth a few nights or as long as you'd like stay. You will not be disappointed either way.

About the host

Hosted by Skip

Host profile image
We are a loving family from Dallas with 2 kids. We enjoy getting away when we can and love our family and vacation time. When not at home in Dallas, you can find us here enjoying Whatabarndo in East Texas or Whatabeach House in Port Aransas.

We are truly blessed and take great joy when other families can get away and relax at one of our 2 properties. Faith, Family & Friends. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

The country life with a modern twist made us fall in love with this property. The 11+ acres gives you plenty of room to roam around while enjoying the multiple buildings and outdoor amenities. Close proximity to 2 large lakes, Canton for shopping and quick drive from Dallas makes it the perfect family getaway.
