Hurri-cation

We had to evacuate our home for hurricane Laura. After deciding on where to go, I found this gem! Off the beaten path, plenty of room inside and out and a pool! Close enough to town to make grocery runs. Great communication with the property manager! Thanks for your help, Sheri!

Great out of the way pool house

We loved the secluded house with the private pool. The only negatives were some wasps by the pool and we couldn’t get the YouTubeTV to log in with the information provided. It was a great time away with family. We will be back!

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at The Farm House Retreat! I think the privacy of the house and its natural settings just make you automatically unwind! The pool is also very private and with it being off set from the house you wouldn't know it was there unless it was advertised. Thank you for booking with us! Come back anytime!

The perfect country getaway

My husband, 5 year old twin boys and I had a wonderful stay here for Spring Break! We were looking for a place in the county to get away and this house was perfect. There was a small family of rabbits living in the nearby woods and we would watch for them every morning and evening. The house was very clean and fully stocked with board games. Unfortunately it was a little too cold for us to enjoy the swimming pool, but we did spend a few afternoons with our feet in the water. The house was also very close to the Aggieland Safari Zoo, which I would highly recommend!

A hidden little gem

This property was exactly what we needed, a hidden little gem. Home is warm and inviting, as soon as you walk in you feel at home. The pool was great! We had some shattered rain showers but we still were able to enjoy the pool and while it was raining we played board games that were supplied by the owners. The owners of this property have thought of everything you could possibly need. We will definitely go back.

Relaxing & Socially Distant

We really enjoyed the farmhouse retreat. It was just far enough, but close to various commodities. We spent most of our time in the pool. So much so, that we never made it to the Aggieland Safari zoo. Kids loved that it had WiFi and Netflix.

About the host

Hosted by Sheri Ginn

Host profile image
Johnny and Marilyn enjoy the outdoors and have a working cattle ranch not too far from this house. Johnny grew up out there and we love the area. We raise Black Angus cattle, have a few horses a donkey and two dogs. Needless to say, we love our pets!!! Johnny is also a contractor and Marilyn is a Realtor. We love helping people reach their dreams of home ownership. We are very active in our community and church.

Why they chose this property

My husband grew up across from this home on a dairy farm. He always loved it and has many childhood memories of playing over there. We always loved this house and said if we ever had the opportunity to purchase it we would. Well God blessed us with the opportunity and we went for it! We remodeled it and brought everything to code but still kept the farmhouse charm.

What makes this property unique

If you love a country setting then this is it! Very secluded and surrounded by oak trees. A great place to unwind. Close enough to town so you can enjoy all Bryan/College Station has to offer. No noisy traffice just the sounds of nature.
