The place was clean, and the kids enjoyed the cows next door. The kids also enjoyed the pine trees as well as the games upstairs. Great place, would stay again.

Little slice of heaven

We are locals, but wanted a place to have my daughter's 18th birthday celebration with friends where her little brothers wouldn't pester the girls. This was the perfect place. The hosts were so easy and accommodating and the property was beautiful.

Better than expected

Ideal for relaxation. 2 dogs loved it there and no worry they could get loose, fenced in well. The farm/country atmosphere was a great escape from the city. Owners were awesome!

Quiet, quaint house and neighborhood

Overall the home was clean, the fridge could have been cleaned a little better. Would have benefited from a few additional items such as more blankets, and full length mirrors behind the closet doors or just in the bedrooms. Felt very safe here, nice neighborhood, quit and close to town. Would definitely recommend the property.

Great Place For Our Family

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend for the holiday and a wedding in the area. It was perfect for our family, especially the kids! They loved the animals outside, and having the entire upstairs to themselves. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. The only thing I can think to suggest would be a full length mirror somewhere. Really can't say enough good things about the place.

Quiet Getaway

The property is well maintained and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. We had a wonderful time at this beautiful Red barn home much needed since we lost a loved one. I can’t express how peaceful and private our stay felt. Host (Larisa) was absolutely wonderful, friendly and accommodating. I'd give this home 10 stars. Happy customer.

The Farm Life

Our stay at this property was wonderful. The only complaint was the bed frames maybe could be updated to not be so squeaky. But the interaction with the cows and the bulls was fantastic. The house was super clean. The property manager was actually probably the best part of all of it. Due to a miscommunication, he came to the property and was gracious and kind. .

Perfect for EVERYONE

We had a group of 8 adults staying for a weekend. This house was great. From my parents in their 70s two couples ranging from their 30s-50s and two teen boys absolutely everyone stated that this deserved 5stars across the board. I was worried about it being too small but it never felt cramped. The teen boys enjoyed the ping-pong table and video games, we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere of the property and the rocking chairs on the porch. I cooked several times in the kitchen and it had everything you could possibly need. The area/neighborhood is quite rural feel but you are still very close to town. The owner was so nice and easy to reach if we needed anything but they contacted me prior to check in and provided enough information that we never needed to reach out. I can not recommend this place enough.

Love it!

We took all our grandkids (5-12) for an overnight stay when we came into town. It was perfect! Very clean and laid out well. The owners where readily available through the app. and gave us their number in case we wanted to walk over to the park, which runs right behind the house. The game room was perfect for the kids. They all decided as soon as we went in that they wanted to live there. The house is about 10 minutes from town. Backyard is fenced, which was great for the younger ones. Cows, horses, dogs around property. We all liked that. Houses nearby but still felt like you were more in the country. One of the girls came out and raved about it also. I can’t say enough about how much we loved this jewel.

Great Place

I rented this location because it was convenient enough to the Texas Renaissance Festival and wasn't extremely expensive. We knew we would only be there for sleep and showers. It's rural, quiet, and a beautiful property. The house was great. Bigger than expected. One bedroom, bath, living room and kitchen downstairs; 2 bedrooms, bath, living area with gaming station and ping pong upstairs. The only issue was hot water. There wasn't enough. When the shower was going on upstairs and I went to take my shower downstairs, I only got cold water. Everything else was great. My only suggestion is to have a full length mirror somewhere (maybe to hang on a bathroom door). I would definitely stay here again.

The Amazing Red Barn

First off, the communication with the hosts was amazing: swift and encouraging. We were staying for Renaissance Festival, and I mentioned this would possibly be an annual thing. The excitement and positivity from the very first message was absolutely contagious. We had all the details prior to arriving, which made check in seamless. The touch of kind well wishes for our travel also went a long way. The barn itself is spacious, well-stocked and very homey. It’s out in the country, but it is close to everything you want and need. It was perfect for our stay. And again, the hosts were there when and if we needed them, even keeping us positive in not so amazing weather. The photos do not do this place justice. It was well-appointed and delightfully comfortable for our entire party. We will definitely be booking for next year and hopefully many after. Give this wonderful place a chance; you won’t regret it. And eat at Pecos one night. It’s close and delicious.
