This remarkable home sits on over 16 acres of Private land covered in Oak trees, a private pond & lake, wildflowers. Six of these acres are heavily wooded & perfect for a wildlife expedition. The property is nestled alongside the banks of a spring fed (20acre) bass filled lake, perfect for any fisherman. Your stay will be enhanced with the following amenities:


Tv
High-speed internet/WiFi
Flatscreen in livingroom
Tv's in master & den
Apple TV- live streaming
DVD player
Fishing Equipment

Gas grill
Outdoor kitchen w/sink, fridge & ice maker
Fridge & pantry
Completely equiped kitchen upstairs

Conveniently located just 1 mile off I-35, only 9 miles from McLane Stadium & 10 miles from Magnolia Markets, "The Silos". Cameron Park, Cameron Park Zoo, Texas Rangers Museum, Dr Pepper Museum, Mayborn Museum, Brazos River & The Shops of River Square Center are all within a 15 minute drive.

This property was never occupied, as the Meek family was transferred out of state before they were able to occupy the home!! It remains almost identical to what aired on Season 3, episode 6 of the FIXER UPPER! You will certainly feel captivated by your surroundings both inside & out. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!!

*Please note, this land is in its natural form & has some great rugged terrain. The lake and tree covered areas are kept somewhat organic & are part of the nostalgia that makes the Barndominium experience so unique! Fishing, kayaking, lounge floating or just taking a dip in the lake are welcomed. Just be aware that it doesn't have sandy white beaches so the banks may have some areas of high grass or floating Lilly-like pads, depending on the season & weather.

My family and I loved our stay at the Barndominium!! It was spacious and had great views. The host was also very friendly and responsive to all our questions. We really liked that the home was near to the Silos and other attractions in the area.

Thanksgiving 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 Chip & Joanne Experience

Being a big "Fixer Upper" and Chip & Joanna Gaines fan, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to book this property! The grounds and home were beautiful, and you could tell it was totally Joanna's vibe inside. We even watched the Fixer Upper episode where they remodeled the Barndominium while we were there...that was fun! We were looking around at everything as they were doing it, which was really entertaining. (Season 3, Episode 7).The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The property was fairly well stocked with household items, minus a few minor things (salt & pepper, napkins), but nothing to complain about.The grounds were pretty and it was quiet and peaceful there. It was entertaining to watch the family of deer pass by through the large french doors.The banquet table is so impressive! We ate meals there since one of our party was elderly and couldn't really do the stairs to go up where the kitchen was. That actually took a little getting used to (having the kitchen and living area upstairs), and may be something to consider for future visitors.Overall, we really enjoyed it. It wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience!

Great place for family gatherings.

Stayed with many family members ages 8-78 who came for a family members funeral. We were able to share our meals and our stories and just hang out together without being enclosed in a room. Plenty of space to walk, play and cook. Immediately checked to see if this listing was available for thanksgiving but it was not. Would highly recommend.

First family reunion after post-COVID and had a wonderful time

We planned in the last minute after family and friends decided to meet after year and half break. We found this gem of a place and had a blast. This place was perfect with everything you need to entertain family or reunions. Host was awesome and super responsive. This was accessible and yet was secluded. Already recommended to few freinds.

Great week!

Our family had a great time at the Barndominium. While at the house, the kids spent most of their time catching bass in the lake! We enjoyed some horseback riding at the Brazos Bluff Ranch, which is close by (highly recommend) and of course, the silos! The house is set up well for a relaxing vacation, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Kristi was a great host, answering our one question we had immediately!

Family/friend vacation

We had a wonderful time at the Barndominium! The attention to detail is amazing. The only down side is that the kitchen is upstairs which requires a lot of carrying groceries up stairs and there is no Master bathroom. Otherwise, staying in Chip and Joanna’s flip and spending time at the Silos was amazing! Kristi checked in on us when we got there and was available throughout the whole stay. Highly recommend!

Lovely

We were so glad to have a nice place to come home to during the weekend of the Baylor v. Utah game. (Go Utes!!) According to my count, this home sleeps 11, tops. Maybe more if you have mostly little kids. Communication with the homeowners was excellent. Towels and dishes aplenty. Not too terribly far from BU/downtown. Lots of land for the kiddies to run around on. Kitchen is on the 2nd floor and dining table is on the 1st floor. Kind of weird. The bathrooms are both shared (no en suite/private) - one per floor.
