Pics don’t do it justice!

This barndominium is beautiful, well-appointed, and spacious! I went with 3 girlfriends to celebrate one of their 40th birthdays. We had ample space for all of our luggage, toiletries, clothes, etc. Lots of drawers and counter space despite the pedestal sink in the bathroom. The additional vanity area near the shower came in handy, as did the small furniture in the bedroom. My only suggestion would be to add a longer dresser or vanity (furniture type - not with a sink) in the bedroom. Otherwise this place is perfect!! Very, very clean and we loved the high ceilings as well as the giant shower. The property was nice and private, and it was neat seeing so many deer along the roads leading to it. Would definitely stay here again!

The awkward thing about this property is that the only shower in the entire place is in the kitchen/dining room, and separated only by a linen curtain. This means everyone must leave this room when someone is showering as there isn't anyplace to get dressed in the shower itself. Also, when we were there, the toilet (also in that same large room) would gurgle out the refill water onto the seat, lid, and sometimes the floor. The property is nicely appointed, but if you are more than one family unit, it really doesn't work.

Came to the area to do some house shopping.

Very great and beautiful property. The location accuracy on in the email sent for property location needs work. When you click both the address for iphone maps and click the google maps location it pulls up wrong location. Also not having the cheapest toilet paper ever made would be nice also. Other than that everything was perfect! Will definitely come back and highly recommend.

Amazing and So Clean!

This property was everything we hoped it would be, and more! My sister and I stayed here while visiting the Magnolia Silos. We’ve been to Waco before and had stayed closer to the silos. This time we wanted something a little outside of town, where we could relax and unwind after all the shopping! It exceeded our expectations! It was peaceful, incredibly beautiful, and so very clean! We woke up in the morning and saw a whole family of deer outside the window! The owner was easy to get in touch with and quick to answer questions. We will definitely be coming back!!

Amazing Stay!!

Very pleased with our stay. Barndo was immaculately clean upon our arrival. Kitchen was stocked very well and we enjoyed grilling on the large covered deck. The fire pit was very nice also. We saw several deer each day. The shower situation was a surprise and interesting with two adult couples we just kept a sense of humor about it. The shower is amazing and huge with double shower heads. We were very happy with our stay and would stay again.

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.
