About this house rental

The Barndominium is the ultimate vacation rental! It's great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups. It's a very large, rustic/industrial home is great for multifamily use and built for entertaining. It's a very private mini-resort. All the bedrooms are completely separate from one another (no adjacent walls). In fact, the wing with the stairs/loft and bunks are totally separate and can be closed off from the rest of the house (great for a kids wing). With a huge kitchen, island and bar, you have tons of seating. It has 6 TV's, so everyone can relax and watch their own shows. The back porch is great for entertaining both adults and kids. Relax and enjoy the deer coming to feed at the deer feeder, play sand volley ball on the regulation size court, play table tennis, horseshoes, washer games or just relax on the porch swing and watch the sunset. You will have access to 2 acres (fenced) of land where the house is located. This is surrounded by a serene 50 acres (not to be accessed by our guests) of land which makes it very peaceful and private. NO PETS ALLOWED. Sorry!

It's a nice place for family reunions, retreats, weddings, etc. This approx. 5,000 sq ft home is set back off the road in a secluded 2 acre lot surrounded by trees and wildlife. It feels like your miles away in the hill country, but only 1.2 miles from I-35 where there are lots of great restaurants, and attractions. It's only 1.5 miles from the Guadalupe River, 1 mile from Lake Dunlap and 4 miles from Gruene. It can sleep up to 22 people in beds. Nightly rate includes up to 10 guests. After the 10th person, there is a $25 per person per night fee for additional guests up to 22. Venue fees will be applied for 30 or more guests even if they don’t stay overnight. We have venue pricing available for larger functions including weddings. We DO NOT ALLOW PETS.

    We traveled from Colorado. Enjoying family for a birthday/ July 4th getaway. House was awesome and we had a great time. We went to Schlitterbahn and floated the comal and went into Gruene - all within 15 minutes of the house. Had a group over to celebrate my birthday and were able to see 4th of July fireworks from the yard. Great yard for groups wanting to visit and play. Lots of games and outdoor activities. I had a problem with the app for entry but the owner was responsive and made sure we got into the house quickly. Would definitely consider staying here again when traveling to the area.

    We rented the facility for a memorial gathering for my husband. There were complications with the check info, but the owner fixed that. When we arrived it had not been cleaned from last use so we could not set up as planned. The owner sent a cleaning crew and we had to return hours later to do the set up again. The inside of the house was nice but outside was not what pictures showed. Volleyball courts had the plastic liner sticking up and no sand and full of weeds. Around the court was many years old hay or straw that was rotted. The horseshoe pits only had one end and they were overgrown and unusable. The entrance was dangerous especially for elderly as the pavers were the only thing left and no rock around them so they were a tripping hazard. The road off the highway to the building was not kept up. It was a dirt path that was horrible to drive up. The owner knew there was an event there and the parking was not good. The field outside would have allowed for ample parking had it been mowed but it had not been mowed in years according to the amount of dead overgrowth. The owner was kind enough to refund a portion of one days rental for the place not being clean on time. I don’t know how a place can be represented by using pictures that are so misrepresenting of what’s actually there.

    We loved the house and property. We fed the deer which the kids loved. There's plenty of room to spread out and the kitchen area is huge. The property manager was GREAT and helpful. I would highly recommend this property for a family gathering and we can't wait to go back.

    We loved everything here...We had kids from 8-15 and they loved the volleyball setup. We adults loved the back porch and the big kitchen and cooking space. We stayed while on a hunting trip and floated the river. Would definitely recommend!
