Relaxing Country Home

My wife and I stayed here with 2 other couples for the Two Step Inn Music Festival. The house was great and the outdoor spaces were awesome as well. Owners were great before, during, and after our stay.

Holly and her family were guests that understood what we are all about! They took the opportunity to relax and enjoy the entire property while waiting for their home to be prepared for move-in. They were great guests who took good care of the place and followed all our requests and guidelines. Happy to have them back. Very nice family!

Very relaxing for adults; loads of fun for kids

The house was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed. Pattie was wonderfully accommodating. Our kiddos (15, 12 & 7) loved the outdoors. Chickens, egg gathering, swing, kayaking & smores every night will always be great memories for us. We will definitely stay there if the need arises to be in that area again.

Wonderful stay for our family - secluded yet close to highways

Our family of 6 had a fantastic stay at Redbird Farm. We thoroughly enjoyed the property - especially the outdoor table and grill, fountain and all the bird visitors. The setting was just enough outside of town to feel secluded and private, yet close enough to run into town for groceries or gas. The house was very clean and comfortable and Pattie was super quick to respond to any needs and questions that we had. We ventured out to Waco, Georgetown, Austin, San Antonio and more from this house. We all enjoyed the chickens and the fresh eggs during our stay. Our favorite hangout was on the back patio in the morning while we enjoyed coffee.

Perfect place for our Christmas family gathering!

Perfect place for our Christmas family gathering! The view off the back of the house was amazing and the weather was cool and crisp. We were able to walk about and explore the property, see the chickens and enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. Once it got dark we had beautiful starry nights and perfect weather for a fire outdoors. The home had plenty of room for us to gather to play games and open Christmas gifts together but, still a place for each one of us to slip away to a place by ourselves and relax and unwind. It was a great location for us to meet in the Central Texas area to enjoy each other‘s company and the beautiful Texas Hill country. Thank you Patti for sharing your very special home!

Beautiful home and property!!

My wife and I and a few other family members needed to be near Salado, TX for our son’s wedding. This home was perfect! Home sits on alot of land, is gated (nice security feature), and was so well decorated and warm. It had all the essentials in the kitchen and elsewhere and the owner was so kind, gave us a tour, and coffee to start each day! It was a most comfortable experience for our weekend and I could not speak more highly of the location, to the wedding venue, to the Airport (down I-130), and even to Round Rock or Austin. My wife and I have attended events at the Circuit of the Americas track and this would be an ideal place to stay! Thanks Pattie for your hospitality and we look forward to a future stay in your beautiful home! Jim and Linda

Redbird Farm is the best!

We were in Georgetown for baseball games with Southwestern University. We opted for Redbird Farm over hotels in the area. And, what a treat we gave ourselves. It was a wonderful weekend in all ways. The house was awesome. The owner couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. It was great to sit in the backyard and and watch the horse and cow...but, the chickens were amazing for us city folks! Made us want to move to some acreage and have chickens of our own! We also saw crazy bunnies in the morning, road runners, lizards, big fish and wild turkey. You'll love the place. Quiet, relaxing and the feeling of really being in the country. If you are going to Georgetown for a reason or for pleasure, book this house. You'll love it.

Week-long, Resort style family vacation during youth World Series baseball tournament for our son

We were lucky enough to find this incredible property in planning for the Ripken Legends World Series Tournament. Pattie was incredible and so welcoming, greeting us and our 2 Boxers. We were joined by my parents and aunt and uncle; we have amazing memories - playing whiffle ball in the sprawling front lawn, cooking our meals in the immaculate chef’s kitchen and steaks on the fire, fresh eggs from the chickens that roamed the grounds, fishing the banks and paddling down the river in kayaks. Mostly, we enjoyed the beautiful location and time away to be together; we took in the Texas stars, enjoyed sunflowers as far as you can see and a home that is as lovely and welcoming as Pattie. The Harris family is appreciative for the hospitality, we will definitely be back.

Beautiful & Relaxing

The grounds are amazing and such a relaxing way to spend time with family. There are chickens that one can tend to and receive fresh eggs. A lovely swing and scenery. The interior design indoors is unique and we appreciated so many things. The kitchen is well stocked for cookware. The twin bed room was perfect for our kids and the master bedroom is lovely and spacious. (Note that we had to use the queen sofa sleeper because we couldn't fit two of us comfortably in the smaller bedroom; the master bed has a slightly bigger bed but we like our queen/king beds I guess.) We will certainly be back the next time we are in Georgetown.

A little slice of heaven near Austin

Wow doesn't even begin to describe this lovely home near Austin. Pattie warmly greeted us and gave us the lay of the land. We quickly settled and began to enjoy the evening on the patio. From the gourmet kitchen to the beautifully appointed rooms, our stay here was so relaxing. No wifi no problem! We spent the majority of our stay in the den tucked in the back of the house bird watching and relaxing. The fresh eggs were a nice treat the next morning. The chickens were not out a a fox had been making his rounds but that didn't stop us from seeing them. We cannot wait to come back to this lovely little slice of heaven again.

Oh how we have enjoyed our visit to your lovely home. At every turn, inside and outside, we were delighted with your thoughtful little touches and were continuously amazed at your decorating taste and skill. We all are leaving feeling refreshed.

Lovely Natural Setting

The owner of the home, Pattie, greeted us upon arrival and gave us a tour of the home. Pattie was delightful and we enjoyed meeting and visiting with her. The house is in a very lovely natural setting. There are amazing views, lots of nature sightings, beautiful outdoor seating and on top of that a donkey and chickens! It was great fun to watch the chickens wandering around the yard and Pattie shared some of their eggs with us, delicious! The home is right on the creek and one can see the water from the patio. We didn't venture down there but Pattie even has kayaks that one could use! She thinks of everything! The kitchen is definitely well stocked and since we don't eat out I would know! The stove works perfectly as do the gas burners and there is every implement imaginable available. The house is well appointed and has a lovely ambiance. We felt very comfortable being there and the gate added to our sense of security. The only thing that was a tad disconcerting for us were the half curtains in the bathroom. We did realize that we were out in the country but then again for city folks it did give one pause! We would definitely return to this lovely home the next time we're in the area. Pattie was readily available by text! This was our first HomeAway stay and I didn't realize that all the house information could be found on the app. Pattie answered a few questions graciously before I finally discovered the questions were answered on the app. All in all it was a marvelous stay and we are so happy we chose this beautiful home.

Wonderful holiday stay

My family of 6 stayed at Redbird Farm for Christmas this year. We had never been, but wanted to do something different. When we first arrived we all felt like we hit the home rental jackpot. The home is decorated so nicely. Very charming, clean, and has everything you need. We really fell in love with the outdoor area. There are so many nooks and seating areas, including fire pits. We had a fire almost every night. We also enjoyed the fresh eggs and their sweet pony. Patti and her husband were always available if we had any questions, and very easy to work with. We hope to go back someday!! I could see Redbird Farm appealing to various renters--families, girls trips, etc. Lastly, the farm is a short drive to the square in Georgetown which we also enjoyed visiting while we were there. Thanks to Patti and Terry for a great stay!

Perfectly comfortable and peaceful stay

We rented Redbird Farm for a long weekend this fall. It's a beautiful property and a stylish, comfortable and well-appointed home. We enjoyed such solitude just 5 miles from the conveniences of Georgetown and 6 miles from the fun at Walburg Restaurant & Biergarten. In addition to comfortably accommodating the 7 of us (6 in beds, one on the comfy den sofa), the outdoor space made a nice place for a few more visiting friends to gather around the fire pit and talk. And, we really enjoyed collecting and eating fresh yard eggs each day. We'd definitely rent again.

"Anonymous" and her family were absolutely the best guests you'd ever want. Charming, friendly and so easy to work with. They were fine with my coming to the property for a few minutes during their stay to administer some medicine to a pony - not a normal occurrence. After their checkout, the property - inside and out - looked as though no one had been here. Spotless! I would welcome them back anytime.

Chillin and Grillin

Our stay at Redbird Farm can only be described as peaceful, relaxing and stress free. We all had a wonderful time from watching the chickens and Mac the Pony to the evening bbq's on the back patio. The Meyer house was super clean and family friendly with all the comforts of home. The kitchen had every cooking need available. The fresh eggs were fabulous. I believe we at our way through 3 dozen eggs over the weekend!! Also loved the peaceful creek ride in our flotation device. Pattie was all accommodating and very sweet. The best part was the seclusion from all the hustle and bustle of city life. It was just what we needed to revitalize. Thank you so much for the grand hospitality. It was all we expected and more....
