Nature, comfortable and clean

We had a wonderful time! We fell in love with the 3 blue healers. Rocky, Shiner and Bebe. They were so sweet and we played with them a lot at night. The property is beautiful and out in nature. Loooved the outdoor shower. They have goats, chickens, roosters, it was so neat. James was so kind and he and helped us with directions to the local grocery store, Patek’s. It’s small but has everything you need. Also has great deli/butcher shop in the back. James also had a cheesecake waiting for us for our anniversary. We will definitely be back. We absolutely loved it!

Great Country Get-Away

We had a very quiet and relaxing stay at the Byrd’s Nest. The apartment was lovely and very spacious. We walked in and saw an anniversary cake awaiting us. What a thoughtful surprise! We also enjoyed a delicious jar of honey. The hospitality extended to us by Marty and James went above and beyond. Would definitely stay here again!

First family road trip!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with our 6 month old baby. We wanted a place fun for the family, low key and relatively close to home as it was our daughter’s first road trip. James and Marty were amazing hosts! They were available when needed and always gave us our privacy. Their property was exactly what we were looking for. Friendly animals, small country town vibe, hanging by the fire at night with amazing views of the stars.. it was just what this suburban family needed. Thank you Byrds for sharing your home with us!

A treat for family from big city!

We were in Shiner for a wedding. Our kids LOVED seeing and touching the animals and didn't want to leave. The hosts were so very kind - went out of their way to locate cuff links for my husband which he forgot at home. Wow. Everything was so great and we would definitely stay again. Thank you James and Marty!

Relaxing & Comfortable

The property was amazing! Private and relaxing while at the same time entertaining and eventful. We brought our daughter with us who’s just shy of a year old and we had everything we needed. We had a blast touring the farm and seeing all the animals. It was nice that our daughter could be apart of that too. We also had the opportunity to enjoy some live music.. thanks to the owners. Best place we’ve stayed so far at a home away from home. We miss those dogs too!

A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HEAVEN!

5 ladies in our group stayed in the Barndominium for 1 night but it wasn’t nearly long enough for us to take in everything at this breathtaking property. Hosts have thought of everything for your memorable stay, and were so very kind gracious & accommodating. They have put ALOT of love & hard work in their place & it shows! All modern interior, incredible gardens and such a variety of well cared for animals! There is something here for everyone but for me it was the outdoor shower under the stars with the softest water! We absolutely loved it! Deb, Tomball, TX

Great Weekend Getaway

We stayed for a long weekend at the Byrd’s Nest and had a wonderful time! The farm dogs will play as long as you would like and the other animals are very friendly. There is plenty of seating outside to enjoy meals and the tremendous views during the day and the stars at night! The owners were accommodating of every need and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. We will definitely return as soon as we get the chance!

Texas Country at its Best

Our multi-generational family had a great weekend staying in the Barndominium at The Byrd's Nest. James and Marty are excellent hosts, the accommodations are comfortable and enjoyable. The best part though, is the animals and nature. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will return for another stay. If you love life in the country, you'll love The Byrd's Nest in Shiner, Texas.

This place was wonderful. It's so quiet and peaceful. Our barndominium was clean and very comfortable. Anything that you needed was there. It is a very short drive to Shiner. The best part of the trip were those puppies. Would love to come back in the spring! Thank you Marty and James.

Unwind and chill

Rented the property for Thanksgiving, just wanted to relax and unwind. It definitely exceeded my expectations. James and Marty took us in as part of the family. The place was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the farm animals, the campfire and even got some guitar lessons from James 👍🎸 Awesome genuine people to hang out with. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Byrds 😊

What's not to love

We stayed in The Nest, a modern one bedroom apartment with the most impressive amount of pots, pans, casserole dishes, and quality tableware I think I have ever seen ! Tastefully decorated and comfortable. Only negative: absence of a reading lamp anywhere. The owners are friendly without being intrusive. Pastoral setting lovely.
