We rented the property for a weekend family vacation. The location was great, the house was beautiful and the kids loved being able to run around the property and play on the play set. The Lego room was a big hit too! Zane and Kristi were kind and responded quickly to an issue that came up. Our family had a wonderful time and made some great memories.
We loved the barn for hosting our family for a Baylor game weekend. It was comfortable with plenty of beds for everyone.

We had a wonderful stay with every comfort from home! It actually rained the entire weekend so we were so grateful for a beautiful home to enjoy being cooped up. We really loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen and eating at the huge dining room table! Big bonus for us that it was dog friendly! We would stay again:-)
Had a relaxing getaway during our short stay at the Barndominium. Super clean with lovely decor. Grounds are beautiful.

We had a great time with our adult children, there was plenty of room and the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful. It was close enough to town to take advantage of see the Dr Pepper Museum and for a day of shopping. Perfect weekend getaway!!

Traveling from several locations, our extended family enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving get together. The large table made the dining experience more special and the views and weather were perfect. From playing games, to fishing and breaking bread together, this experience was one to be cherished and remembered.

The Barndeminium is exactly as expected. We had a great time and the property is within 15 minutes of every attraction we attended. We visited the Silos, the Castle, and did Zoo lights.
