Perfect Getaway

BCS Back 40 was the perfect spot for my dogs and me to spend the weekend with my daughter. The backyard is beautiful and we were able to use the Wi-Fi to allow my daughter to study. We enjoyed the escape from our routine. The house was fully stocked with everything we needed and we got to kick back and use our own Netflix to watch a movie at night.

Perfect Family Home!

We stayed with 4 kids ages 2-7 and we never ran out of things to play with from games in the room to activities stored in garage. Huge backyard was perfect for them to run around in! Family friendly and kid friendly home. We loved reading Bible verses too! Will book here again.

The back 40 was a great property! It has a big, beautiful backyard that we enjoyed and the house itself is stocked with anything you might need!

Family Birthday Celebration

This house was perfect! The house itself was cozy and comfortable. It has a plethora of toys for children to play with and great games for the adults also. The backyard is beautiful and, although we have family in Cstat, everyone gathered for family meals with us! They loved sitting outside, watching the children play and visiting. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Cousin’s Trip

Each year we pick a different city in Texas for a vacation with cousins. This year it was in Bryan/College Station. We were very pleased with our choice, The Back Forty. It was clean, comfortable, had a nice backyard, plenty of games and entertainment and overall had everything we needed. The Hosts made this place a welcoming home for us to spend a few days away from our own busy lives. We thoroughly enjoyed it!
