We absolutely loved our stay. This is a beautiful home that has been cared for by the owners in a way that makes you feel so welcomed and relaxed. From the decorations to the little touches this home is a 5 star home. We loved the backyard & its peacefulness as well. We would highly recommend this family friendly home to anyone needing a home away from home.
Lovely home centrally located in quiet tree-lined neighborhood. It’s comfortable and has all you need to entertain. The back yard is fabulous. We recommend this property.

Thank you for choosing The BCS Back Forty during your time in Aggieland. We created many details for families just like yours to relax and refuel between a full schedule.
This is absolutely one of the best places we have ever rented. Squeaky clean, tastefully decorated (lots of smiles at some of the signs), well furnished with everything you could possibly need, quiet neighborhood, and a beautiful backyard. We will definitely stay there again whenever we are in the area!
Had an amazing stay at this house. Property was clean, warm and exactly the perfect choice for our family to enjoy.
Host was super helpful and easily available. I would highly recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at this property in a quiet neighborhood in Bryan, Texas. The rooms and beds were comfortable, and the house is well- equipped. We were surprised at how well-stocked the kitchen was, especially with spices and other staples.
Great home and lots of activities in the house. Our kiddos really enjoyed all the games and books. We took our Goldendoodle and the backyard was great, all fenced and lots of room for our dog to play. We will definitely be planning to stay here again!
We loved The Back 40 home in Bryan! It was clean, well stocked and the host thought of every detail.

About the host
Hosted by Jean Marie Rich
Hi! My husband and I live in College Station and have the opportunity to spend most of our days working with college students through an organization called Impact Retreats for incoming students at A&M and Blinn. We are an adoptive family and now have three kids. We love traveling and learning about other cultures, and meeting new friends. We will most likely spend money on a new game to play together.
Why is it called “Back Forty?” Back Forty is the term to describe the furthest or most remote part of the farm. Jean Marie's parents, Bill and Charlene, who live in Arkansas, purchased this home. Bill is a retired rice farmer from Nicholson Farms in Cherry Valley, AR. Charlene is a retired math school teacher. Recently, they expanded part of the “farm” to Texas to be closer to their grandkids. They use it when they visit three of their twelve grandchildren. Plus, “BackForty” sounded more invited on Vrbo than “Nicholson Farms.”
When they aren't here, I use my 15+ years in the hotel/retreat hospitality industry to help ensure other guests feel at home while staying at the BCS Back Forty.
Why they chose this property
We have a high return rate because our guests love that the home is well-stocked, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. We aim to be fully booked with repeat guests and with their referrals because their experience with us is like none other.
What makes this property unique
We think of everything so you don't have to.

We're locals, so it's a priority that guests feel the 5-star care in the details and experience and if anything were to arise, we are able to quickly find a resolution.
