Great weekend getaway

Wife and I enjoyed our weekend getaway in the “silo” not far from town for those who want to see people but far enough away to feel like your disconnected for hustle and bustle.

The silo and the property are very lovely, it was a wonderful getaway. The shower was very relaxing and the bed is incredibly comfortable. We would definitely stay again, and they had the world's cutest dog come by to say farewell when we were getting ready to check out. We highly recommend it! Google Maps doesn't map quite to the right place, but if you drive further down Cox road you'll find the correct number, and the host was very responsive and kind in helping us find our way!

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Tamminga

Host profile image
Howdy, Im Lykele Tamminga but you can call me Lee and Cathy and our fur child, Fia. I am from a small northern farm town in Holland and moved to Waxahachie in 1984. I grow up on a dairy farm in Holland and Waxahachie. Cathy is from Hickory NC and moved to Texas in 1979. We were Jr.High sweethearts for 2 years then we went our separate ways. 25 years later we end up back together. We both grow up here... literally just across the fields. I am a grain harvester and Cathy is a homesteader. Starting greenhouses and chicken coops this year. We wanted to share our unique Silo House with others while we are gone for harvest.

Why they chose this property

After the family dairy stopped milking I decided to recycle the grain silo... into our house. I had 15 acres to put it on, so I welding two trailers together and hooked up to the tractor and away we went. I did all the welding and fabrication and had a local builder help with the framing and interior. I studied the sunrises and sunsets so that you could see both views from inside. It truly is peaceful and quiet out here. You can truly feel like you are the only people on Earth.

What makes this property unique

Some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets...Weather sitting on the porch or the balcony. There is always a breeze at The Silo House which is great for the Hammock in The BIg Foot Forest. Plus you get to stay in a round house that once feed thousands of Dairy Cows... Pretty Cool. And check out our little/big town of Waxahachie. So much to do and see here for all walks of life.
