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:

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.

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.

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??

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!💙🙏💙

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.

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.

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!

Just once

Great location for kids to play, scream, run around. and not bother the neighbors. Five bedrooms: 1 king, 1 queen, 1 twin, 2 with 3 beds: a double and double bunk beds, kinda weird. The 'double doubles' made it interesting: Which adults were sleeping the same room with kids, or were all the girls in one room and the boys in the other? Not ideal for 3 families. The 16 acres appeared to be fenced and inaccessible. That was okay because there was a lot of gunfire nearby. A shooting range or target practice perhaps? We would not have felt comfortable letting the kids roam in the woods.
