Perfect Private Getaway Home!
We had the pleasure of booking a getaway to the country for a large group of 12 adults (late 20s & 30a) and 2 kiddos. There was plenty of space for 6 couples and the little ones to sleep, sit, and relax. We spent the majority of our stay poolside, but spent late evenings playing games and hanging out indoors. Having the separation of space for the main home and guest house worked out perfect so that we had an additional space to not worry about noise and waking up the kids. All amenities were put to use from the outdoor grill, to kitchen + cookware, games, pool table etc. Towels, and toiletries were a relief to our group as well! Beds were comfortable and the home stayed cool! (even during triple digit heat wave) Skip really thought of everything for the perfect weekend getaway. He provided easy to follow instructions and was also quick to respond for any questions that we had. We will most definitely be planning future stays at Whatabarndo!

Fantastic Family Getaway at the Barndominium
Our recent stay at the Barndominium was absolutely fantastic. Skip's exceptional service and communication throughout the booking process and during our stay ensured that our extended family get-together over a long weekend was perfect. The Barndominium created an ideal setting for relaxation and quality family time. The well-maintained pool offered refreshing relief from the Texas heat and the game room with a pool table provided endless entertainment for all. The separate houses on the property allowed each family member to have their own space while fostering togetherness. We were impressed by Skip's attentiveness and dedication to ensuring a seamless experience, making us feel valued and well taken care of. We would not think twice about staying here again.

Our Wedding Weekend
Skip and his property are both incredible! Whatabarndo was perfect for us. We booked last minute as a last minute change to better accommodate our family for the weekend. My wife and I we're married on Saturday April 1st in Emory. Skip walked me through everything and made it all happen with ease. Property is clean and quiet, we all had plenty to do between the games and the pool. The property is definitely a one of a kind and is worth a few nights or as long as you'd like stay. You will not be disappointed either way.

Cozy Thanksgiving Retreat
Great place to accommodate all of our family during Thanksgiving! There was plenty of cooking supplies and ovens to make all of our meal items. We were looking forward to spending time outside and taking in the beautiful 11 acres but it rained almost the entire time we were there. Instead we played games, played pool in the game room and watched football games on TV which was fun! We did get to squeeze in yummy s'mores by the fire pit the first night we were there. My college aged daughter has finals coming up and escaped over to the private office to study in a quiet place away from our loud family! LOL! A hot shower felt super nice at the end of the day with awesome water pressure along with a very comfortable mattress on the bed to sleep at night. We would definitely stay again possibly in warmer months to enjoy the pool and spend more time outside this time. Thank you Skip for opening your home to us! We made some great memories!

We were looking for a great place to enjoy visiting with our family--we wanted a central location in East Texas. This was perfect! The houses/property were exactly as billed and very clean. Skip was easy to communicate with and always got right back to us on check-in instructions, pool instructions, etc. No complaints at all! We would definitely stay here again. Johnny

SUCCESS! Secluded Getaway For a Large Group of Friends
Had a group of 11 college friends who wanted to get together near DFW… most listings were too “suburban”, but the Whatabarndo looked like an oasis just a short drive outside of DFW. Skip was extremely responsive and friendly leading up to and during the stay. Upon arrival we realized there wasn’t anything that this house DIDN’T have. The Main house and guest house each featured comfortable sleeping quarters, a kitchen that could prepare scratch meals, Full Bathrooms and Washer/dryers. The backyard was what made the place though: comfy seating, a crystal clear, well-maintained pool, and so much space to run around, play games, or sit around the fire pit. We did all of the above. It’d be great for any age group to get together - especially a families with kids. We ended up buying way too much food to take out there but at least we didn’t run out. The only thing to consider is there there aren’t many restaurants/bars nearby. Our group did, however, make a 30 minute drive out to BackStory Brewing in Sulphur Springs and would highly recommend it for quality and quantity of beers and EXCEPTIONALLY great food (authentic Mexican seafood, burgers and wings). Would recommend bringing extra pool towels and coolers for outdoor use but fridge space was plentiful. Thanks again, Skip!!

Relaxing Stay! Whatabarndo!
Skip was very responsive and accommodating for our stay. The barn was clean and tidy upon arrival. We had a great time playing in the large field behind the barn - plenty of space to throw the football and frisbees. I would definitely stay here again. One note: You're in the country... bring bug spray! :) Thankfully we had spray so we could enjoy being outside around dusk. Thanks Skip!

This property was filthy
The set up of the house was great. A main house & guest house. Plenty of beds. That’s all the good I can say. The pool was green in spots. My son spent over an hour cleaning it so the children could swim. The grass was so tall we couldn’t play our outside games we brought. I spent over 2 hours & used a whole carton of Lysol Wipes cleaning so we felt comfortable. Every inch of the outside tables were sticky. I did contact the host several times. I asked for his cleaning person to come back to clean. He refused me. He did give me a refund on my cleaning deposit. He does not need to rent this property again until it is professionally cleaned.

Work sales meeting/get away
I rented this place for 7 of us that work together to have a small sales meeting/get away. This place was exactly what we where looking for, nice clean pool, spacious enough for 7 grown men to have enough space apart and also with a great layout for us to be together. Booking it was easy and communication with owner was quick and easy. We would definitely look at coming back again.

This place was really nice. Although.. pool was a bit dirty. And mold in the sink. And shower. towels smelled like cigarettes. Blankets too. It was picked up but not really clean. Food was left over from the last house guests. After we cleaned it up. We had a great time! Family time made it the best in the end! Firepit was nice to sit around and roast marshmallows and just talk. If the cleaning crew cleaned, this place would be amazing.

Great TX spring break
The houses were beautifully decorated, both kids and adults loved the spaces. Amazing showers, comfortable beds, lots of space. It was very clean. They had welcome baskets (even a welcome treat for the dog) and thought of all the extras (board games, outside games, firewood, smores roasters, dog bowls, laundry soap, dish soap, coffee, tea, soap, shampoo, etc). Property is large. We had a few issues with pool heat (but owner communicated well when issues came up).

Our large family got together here for our Christmas celebration. We lost our Dad this year and I thought it was so important to get together and celebrate the holiday and our parents. Skip is the very best host to date that I have worked with. He even had a Christmas tree put up for us. The Brando is gorgeous all kitchen appliances are new and highly efficient. Every detail has been taken care of and it is just beautiful out in the country.
