What a wonderful stay in the country, yet right in the heart of Texas A&M. Perfect location. Kitchen was stocked, beds were comfortable and the fire pit divine to relax and watch the full moon. Hosts were helpful and we will be back!

Perfect farm house stay!

The farm house exceeded expectations. We were in town for a family wedding at a nearby venue, and the property provided the perfect, quiet respite from the hustle-bustle of large gatherings. Kitchen and bedrooms were well appointed, backyard fire pit was a sweet bonus!

Perfect family weekend getaway

The house and yard were perfect for our family and our fur baby. We loved collecting eggs from the hens for breakfast and had everything we could have asked for and more. I've never stayed in a rental as well stocked and carefully maintained. My family hopes to stay again!

Family girls trip

The farmhouse was perfect inside and out. The roses were blooming when we arrived. The front porch is welcoming, every room is clean, comfortable and sweetly decorated. The chickens are friendly and the fresh eggs were a real treat. We loved this little retreat and have already recommended it to friends and family. We will definitely choose it again when we visit College Station.

HIghly Recommended

Just a wonderful place to stay when you are in the Bryan/College Station area. It is a very peaceful place to stay, yet you are just 10 minutes to Texas A&M University. Everything about the property was done right. We plan to stay again with friends that we have told to book the property. Why stay at a hotel for an Aggie game or event when you can stay here.

Wonderful stay near College Station

We recently stayed at Kathy's farmhouse near College Station. Her home is beautiful, peaceful and spacious. Kathy responded quickly to any questions I had and was very welcoming. She was thoughtful in wanting to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. We only wish we could have had more time to enjoy this beautiful oasis.

This was the perfect getaway for my husband and I and our Great Dane. House was lovely and very quiet. He had a little bit of space to run around. Chickens were a cool addition. We would gladly come back if in the area again.

Great little country getaway!

We had a great stay. House was very clean and well kept. It also has a great outdoor space including a chicken coop with 4 super friendly chickens. It is on a few minutes outside of College Station, but far enough out that you get some relief from traffic. We did not cook, but house appeared to be well equipped if you wanted to. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were great. We will definitely stay again when visiting our kids at TAMU. Thanks for letting us stay in your wonderful property!

Super friendly owners

This house was tastefully remodeled recently and comfortable for our family of 5 and 2 dogs. The owners were super friendly and paid a lot of attention to detail, providing many generous/personal touches we don’t usually see for a weekend rental. We enjoyed the fire pit and large/open spaces around us, and the location was convenient to Aggie baseball, the George Bush Presidential Library/Museum, and many good/casual restaurants such as Koppe Bridge and Hullabaloo. We will rent here again when visiting College Station.

Perfect Stay!

This property was precious. It was secluded and spacious. Everything was modern but old school charm everywhere. The home had EVERYTHING you could think of including a personal fan, dog bowls and bug spray. We loved watching the chickens. It was exactly what we wanted!! I will definitely return for our next family gathering. Could not have been ANY better.

The little farmhouse that could . . .

Dont let the description of the property being a little farmhouse fool you, this place is fabulous. The house is well equipment, immaculate and exceptionally comfortable. The house appears to have been updated in the last few years with the flooring and decor being new and styled to match the farmhouse and rural location of the property. Couldnt have asked for better, and the owner is super to work with.

Cutest little farmhouse right outside the city with chickens and charm. They literally thought of everything. Great coffee, good pots and pans, tons of non box required charging stations - just so easy. You feel like you’re at your parents second HOME. Not someone’s house. Fantastic property. We will be back!

Sibling Gathering at The Farmhouse

We decided to meet in a central location and found The Big Oak Farmhouse in College Station. What a wonderful and inviting home -- everything was spot clean and tastefully decorated with comfortable bedding for a peaceful nights' rest. We enjoyed the fire pit (both day and night) -- and had fresh eggs from the chickens for breakfast. Brought our own food and the farmhouse kitchen was fun to cook in -- played dominoes and told tales -- felt like we were at our grandparents surrounded by love. Highly recommend -- Kathy is a super host and very generous and thoughtful with providing a warm, cozy home feel for all. We'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Aggieland Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
There is so much to LOVE about being a host! Creating the perfect “Home-Away-From-Home” experience has been such a joy.

My name is Kathy Scott, and my family has called the Brazos Valley home for five generations. My husband, Neil, and I are grateful to serve our community as local business owners. We are local short-term rental property owners and are hands-on in managing our properties. I’m also a real estate broker and designer. I’ve built a career around managing properties and creating positive experiences for our guests and for the homeowners who trust us to share their beautiful homes with our community through short-term rentals.

Hosting combines everything I love: designing welcoming spaces, connecting with people from all over, and sharing the community we’ve cherished for more than 20 years together as a couple, and for most of my life. What I enjoy most is helping guests connect with family, with friends, and with our Aggieland community. Seeing people relax, make memories together, and feel truly at home brings me so much joy.

Why they chose this property

The Scene at the Property

This home is tucked away on a quiet lane that offers a true sense of country charm while still keeping you close to the conveniences of College Station. The property has an inviting, open feel, with plenty of space to relax both indoors and out. Surrounded by nature and wide-open skies, it creates a peaceful retreat where you can slow down, unwind, and take in the best of Texas living.

The Neighborhood Vibe

The Dymple Lane area is known for its tranquil setting and spacious lots, giving it a relaxed, rural feel while being just a short drive to Texas A&M University, Kyle Field, and the heart of College Station. Here, neighbors value both privacy and community — you’ll often find people enjoying their land, spending time outdoors, or gathering for friendly get-togethers. It’s a place where you can enjoy the quiet of the countryside without being far from dining, shopping, and local attractions.

What You’ll Enjoy Most

What makes this neighborhood so special is the balance between peaceful country living and city convenience. You’ll love waking up to calm mornings surrounded by trees and open space, then being able to head into town in minutes for game day, dining, or shopping. It’s the perfect mix of relaxation and accessibility, giving you the best of both worlds in Aggieland.

What makes this property unique

What makes Big Oak Farmhouse truly unique is its blend of rustic charm and modern comfort in a serene countryside setting. Unlike most rentals, this home offers a genuine farm-style experience — from shiplap walls and a tin-ceiling kitchen to custom-crafted beds and even a chicken coop where guests can gather fresh eggs each morning. The towering oak trees and spacious yard create the perfect backdrop for outdoor gatherings around the fire pit or relaxing evenings on the porch under string lights. Inside, every detail is designed for comfort with fresh linens, cozy décor, and a fully equipped kitchen ready for group meals. Just 8 miles from Kyle Field, it’s a one-of-a-kind retreat that gives guests both the excitement of Aggieland and the peaceful charm of Texas farmhouse living.
