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

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.

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!!

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.

Relaxing country vibes
The barndominium provides privacy, serene views, and a beautiful layout on the inside. This house is perfectly set up for friends, wedding parties or families looking to get away from hustle and bustle and take in the countryside. The outdoor firepits were amazing and the open layout of the kitchen into the living room leaves you wanting nothing else. We really did have an amazing stay there. Would absolutely rent again!

Multiple family weekend getaway
If you like chip and Joanna Gaines, you should love this place. It’s definitely missing a bit of up keep though. Positives -great for large groups -comfortable beds -lots of cookware/utensils -land for kids to run around on -very easy to check in and out Not so great… -kitchenware was all a bit dirty and everything was just shoved into drawers -was told there was swimming opportunities but the “lake” was basically brown stagnant water and not really swimmable. -the kitchen is on the 2nd floor and the large table in the picture is on floor 2 so not super accessible for meals Overall it served its purpose but at that price point, I expected a bit more in terms of the facility but I’m sure part of the price has to do with the fact that it’s sort of famous??

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.

Beautiful and Spacious Home
The Barn was gorgeous and looks exactly as it did on the show. Beds were all so comfortable with amazing linens. Plenty of room for families and friends. Having food available when we arrived was a big plus. Property is gorgeous and my boys loved the fishing. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. Barn is close to everything we wanted to visit and yet far enough away that we really felt like we were on a vacation. Will be back to the barn again!!!!

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!

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!

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.

Lovely but not functional
The property and barndominium are lovely. Unfortunately every outside door had huge wasps flying around their nests. We tried spraying them but unfortunately couldn't get them under control. We couldnt let the children in our party outside because of this. Clearly those wasps that Chip tried to get rid of came back! Our next issue was the A/C unit could not keep the upstairs where the kitchen and main living room are cool. During the day it was a uncomfortable 84 degrees. We were there 3 days and it was never under 84 inside upstairs during the day. We had to go buy fans. The downstairs large dining table is just wasted space. Its hard to believe anyone would want their dining room on a different floor than their kitchen. The bunkbeds have no safety rails on them so we could not let children sleep in them. The ceilings fans are dangerously low to the top bunks also. Even with the problems we enjoyed ourselves and got a kick out of watching the Fixer Upper Barndominium episode while sitting in the actual BARNDOMINIUM.

Barndominium
We had a nice stay overall, but there were a few things that I feel we should note. We paid for early check in at 3 pm and when we got there it was HOT! The temperature was at 78 and we literally did not get relief until 3:45 AM! The house really held that heat and even though we understand Texas heat, we still can’t justify being that uncomfortable temperature wise, especially after the sun had gone down. The duvet cover in one room had a questionable stain (blood like) so that was tossed to the corner right away. There were several spider webs throughout the house that made me wonder when it was cleaned. The other thing was the yellow jacket and wasps nests around the house. The nests were recent, but it would have been nice to not have to deal with that. They had spray cans outside to deter them, but due to severe allergies we tried to avoid all together. Has anyone ever reported feel a “presence”? We had several paranormal experiences independently that I think collectively we decided were figments of our imagination until we all discovered during breakfasts on Sunday that we had all experienced something. The hosts were very communicative so I will praise them on that, but I think one visit at the Barndominium will do for us!💙🙏💙

Best Birthday Celebration Ever!!
My Mom celebrated her 70th birthday this past weekend and since she's a huge Fixer Upper fan, we were ecstatic to be able to stay at The Barndominium!! The house is just as it appeared on the show and my Mom loved every second of our stay. Unfortunately, she fractured her pinkie toe the day before we arrived, so she wasn't able to go into Waco to visit any of the Magnolia venues, but she had a very nice and quiet time sitting out by the lake near the house in the evening. We all loved that there was a home large enough to adequately accommodate the whole family, plus our furry babies. The house was PERFECT!! And Kristi went over and above by having groceries delivered upon our arrival. I've stayed at other vacation rentals and ended up going to the store because we didn't have everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Not so with Kristi! She made sure the house was very well stocked - it was awesome!! The rental process was very smooth from beginning to end and Kristi was always responsive to any of my requests. It's been a week since our stay and I still find my Mom smiling, thinking about her birthday. She says this birthday was THE BEST one she's ever had (and she's had a couple of good ones!). Kristi, thank you so much for making this an occasion that we will never ever forget!!
