I don’t often write reviews so bear with me,First off, the owner of the property was very communicative and kind throughout our correspondence. Any questions I had were answered promptly. The first-day instructions were incredibly easy to follow — we were checked in and ready to start our day in no time.The open-concept layout was really neat. The high ceilings and spacious rooms made the place feel huge. The new washer and dryer were an awesome amenity, and the very spacious walk-in shower with dual shower heads was a really cool experience. Having a fully equipped kitchen, along with a ready-to-go propane grill, made cooking comfortable and easy.The first night on the outdoor deck was a beautiful surprise. Fireflies floated through the trees onto the deck and gave us a natural wonder to enjoy. The next morning, deer were only yards away along the tree line.We made a trip to the Waco Zoo and came back to this comfortable home to reset and continue our day away from the city. Also not far away is the Mammoth National Monument. If your child is into prehistoric stuff, this is a must see. Amazing!!Overall, it was a relaxing and memorable stay, and we truly enjoyed the experience.

Why they chose this property

In 2021 we purchased our forever home with 5 acres and a unique Barndominium style guest house. Unsure of what to do with the newly built, but unfinished guest house we decided to finish it out and offer it as a short term rental. The creation of our Barndominium allows us to share the beautiful country views and the unique sounds of wildlife with others. The interior of the Barndominium is finished out with beautiful custom woodwork and elegant furnishings which make staying inside just as enjoyable and relaxing as being outside.

What makes this property unique

This Barndominium is tucked away in Bosque Ridge. Far enough out of town to be seclusive but close enough to be convenient.
