About the host

Hosted by Aggieland Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
There is so much to LOVE about being a host! Creating the perfect “Home-Away-From-Home” experience has been such a joy.

My name is Kathy Scott, and my family has called the Brazos Valley home for five generations. My husband, Neil, and I are grateful to serve our community as local business owners. We are local short-term rental property owners and are hands-on in managing our properties. I’m also a real estate broker and designer. I’ve built a career around managing properties and creating positive experiences for our guests and for the homeowners who trust us to share their beautiful homes with our community through short-term rentals.

Hosting combines everything I love: designing welcoming spaces, connecting with people from all over, and sharing the community we’ve cherished for more than 20 years together as a couple, and for most of my life. What I enjoy most is helping guests connect with family, with friends, and with our Aggieland community. Seeing people relax, make memories together, and feel truly at home brings me so much joy.

Why they chose this property

The Scene at the Property

This home is tucked away on a quiet lane that offers a true sense of country charm while still keeping you close to the conveniences of College Station. The property has an inviting, open feel, with plenty of space to relax both indoors and out. Surrounded by nature and wide-open skies, it creates a peaceful retreat where you can slow down, unwind, and take in the best of Texas living.

The Neighborhood Vibe

The Dymple Lane area is known for its tranquil setting and spacious lots, giving it a relaxed, rural feel while being just a short drive to Texas A&M University, Kyle Field, and the heart of College Station. Here, neighbors value both privacy and community — you’ll often find people enjoying their land, spending time outdoors, or gathering for friendly get-togethers. It’s a place where you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside without being far from dining, shopping, and local attractions.

What You’ll Enjoy Most

What makes this neighborhood so special is the balance between peaceful country living and city convenience. You’ll love waking up to calm mornings surrounded by trees and open space, then being able to head into town in minutes for game day, dining, or shopping. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and accessibility, giving you the best of both worlds in Aggieland.

What makes this property unique

What makes Big Oak Farmhouse truly unique is its blend of rustic charm and modern comfort in a serene countryside setting. Unlike most rentals, this home offers a genuine farm-style experience — from shiplap walls and a tin-ceiling kitchen to custom-crafted beds and even a chicken coop where guests can gather fresh eggs each morning. The towering oak trees and spacious yard create the perfect backdrop for outdoor gatherings around the fire pit or relaxing evenings on the porch under string lights. Inside, every detail is designed for comfort with fresh linens, cozy décor, and a fully equipped kitchen ready for group meals. Just 8 miles from Kyle Field, it’s a one-of-a-kind retreat that gives guests both the excitement of Aggieland and the peaceful charm of Texas farmhouse living.
