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.

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!!

Lisa & I (Dave) are both native to Texas. We hope to make your visit to Waco an enjoyable one!

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.

What makes this property unique

This Barndominium is tucked away in Bosque Ridge. Far enough out of town to be seclusive but close enough to be convenient.
