The property, scenery and all the animals were great. The issue we had was that the air conditioners were kinda on the fritz and caused some sweaty sleeping that night. The hosts tried their best to make it as enjoyabvle as possible. Sometimes these things just happen.

The owners live on the property and greeted us when we arrived. The “barndominium” is super nice inside with many thoughtful amenities. It is exactly as described. The only negative is we wish we could have stayed longer.

Clean and convenient

We had a quick 1-night stay. Pros: goats & outdoor shower, plus hosts allowed for early check-in to get ready for an afternoon weddingCons: Political statements on vehicle were off-putting

Absolutely amazing. The host is out of this world and the most down to earth people you’ll ever meet. The property is super cute and full of farm animals. The sleeping quarters were excellent. The outdoor shower is a neat bonus. We will definitely be back next time we visit the shiner area.Cheers

We had an amazing weekend at the Birds Nest. Extremely relaxing! Shiner is a cute little town. The brewery/distillery is a must along with the Shiner Palace Saloon it has outstanding food and drinks. Marty and James are wonderful host and owners. Their property is clean and well maintain.

Love this place!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here, and we had the best time. James and Marty are wonderful, it feels like we’re visiting family. The decor is something out of a magazine yet the rooms are extremely comfortable and functional. My 5-year old just LOVES the outdoor shower, animals garden... and I do too! Can’t wait to go back.

We had such a great weekend at the Byrds Nest. It's so peaceful and beautiful. Marty and James are so wonderful and hospitable. We felt like we were staying with family. Our kids loved running the property and playing with the animals all day. We will definitely go back.

Pleasant country stay

Very nice place. Clean & well appointed. Only dislike was no tv in the bedroom (but there is one in the closet that just hasn’t been hung yet)! 😉 Thank you!

Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed for a long weekend at the Byrd’s Nest and had a wonderful time! The farm dogs will play as long as you would like and the other animals are very friendly. There is plenty of seating outside to enjoy meals and the tremendous views during the day and the stars at night! The owners were accommodating of every need and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We will definitely return as soon as we get the chance!

Great Country Get-Away

We had a very quiet and relaxing stay at the Byrd’s Nest. The apartment was lovely and very spacious. We walked in and saw an anniversary cake awaiting us. What a thoughtful surprise! We also enjoyed a delicious jar of honey. The hospitality extended to us by Marty and James went above and beyond. Would definitely stay here again!

Fun on the farm!

If you want to enjoy a getaway with a farm atmoshere, this is the place. Marty & James will make you feel right at home, & are very accommodating hosts. The property is as described in the pics. Have fun exploring their property & viewing/petting their array of barnyard companions!
