Ring Day Party
We booked several nights to be there for our son’s Ring Day and have a family party a few days later. The house is lovely and the beautiful yard allowed us to have a corn hole competition! We will definitely be back!

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.

A taste of home away from home!
Our family made countless memories in College Station when my wife and I were in school at A&M. When we became parents, we always talked about taking our girls to the special place that impacted our lives and our relationship so much! Mr. and Mrs. Scott were fantastic hosts and the house was exactly what we were looking for. Growing up and living in a small town, the peace of the country was something that drew us to the property immediately. After watching the Aggies win at Olson Field, it was so nice “escaping” the hustle and bustle of the town and enjoying some peace and quiet, along with our privacy. Will definitely be staying at the Farmhouse again and a big thank you to our hosts for the accommodations that made a special trip for our family just that much better!

Loved!!
We enjoyed this home so very much. Very clean. Beds so comfortable. Farmhouse with all the updates. Everything you could ever need. More than enough linens and towels, etc. Basic spices, condiments, coffee, tea, creamer all for our use. Loved the chickens and fresh eggs just steps behind the home. The fire pit was a delight. They’ve thought of every detail. Not one single complaint. Loved every minute and truly didn’t want to leave.

Great property
This property was great and the hosts were wonderful. Very easy to communicate with and very hospitable. We really appreciate them allowing us to bring our 2 dogs. We have often encountered difficulties finding a place that permits pets. The house was very clean and comfortable. Its an older home but has been renovated with all modern conveniences. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants a great place that is quiet and peaceful. Wonderful place to relax. This was our 2nd visit and we plan to rent it again in the future.

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.

This place was perfect for us! It was our first time visiting Texas during Roundtop and it felt like home away from home. Not too far from town but just enough where it isn’t crowded by neighbors. Also we were blessed with an egg by one of the hens during our stay! We will definitely be back and we will choose to stay here again

Wonderful house and owners
This property was great. Small, restored houses with all of the modern appliances and convivences, and a 10-15 minute drive to campus depending on traffic. Quiet and relaxing. It is often hard to find properties that allow pets but this one did and it was a great place for our 3 dogs. Very roomy yard with plenty of room for them to enjoy themselves. Guests need to appreciate this privilege by cleaning up the poop piles in the yard before you leave as we did. Owners provide the necessary equipment. We loved our two nights at the property and will definitely use it again.

Great Experience!
Wow! Staying at Kathy’s place was a great experience. The farmhouse was very clean and we had everything we needed! We enjoyed the fresh eggs and the open yard! We were able to catch up with family around a warm fire at the fire pit! We felt like we were way out in the country but only a few miles from campus and right around the corner from the venue for the wedding we attended. It was an ideal location. We will definitely stay again when we are in town! Thanks Kathy for graciously sharing Big Oak Farmhouse with us!

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!

Cute farmhouse close to town
Stayed here for a combination Aggie football, Renaissance, campus tour weekend. Checkin was a breeeze, house was clean, and the added amenities (TVs, DirecTV, grill and firepit) were very nice. We loved seeing the chickens and the garden, and ended up with 1/2 dozen eggs over our stay. It was quiet, and away from town, but not so far that we couldn't get DoorDash to deliver. Will definitely keep this property in mind for our next stay.

Our family met up to relax for a weekend and go to a football game. This farmhouse exceeded our expectations! Besides being cute, it was functional with all the "extras" needed for a group our size- 7 adults and 2 children. The chickens were a big hit with the kids- so fun to see them lay eggs! Visiting around the fire pit in a quiet farm-like setting was so nice! Thanks Kathy! You are the best host! Doris Y.
