We had an amazing weekend at the Birds Nest. Extremely relaxing! Shiner is a cute little town. The brewery/distillery is a must along with the Shiner Palace Saloon it has outstanding food and drinks. Marty and James are wonderful host and owners. Their property is clean and well maintain.

Love this place!

This is the second time we’ve stayed here, and we had the best time. James and Marty are wonderful, it feels like we’re visiting family. The decor is something out of a magazine yet the rooms are extremely comfortable and functional. My 5-year old just LOVES the outdoor shower, animals garden... and I do too! Can’t wait to go back.

A Piece of Heaven on Earth

We wanted a place that was private, quiet and peaceful, and this rental turned out to be the perfect choice! The view of the countryside from our patio went on for miles. Always had a nice breeze! The farm animals were fun to watch, and the dogs were sweet and friendly. Our apartment was fresh and clean, and had everything we needed. The kitchen is very well stocked, if you want to cook at home. The drive into Shiner is quick and easy. We highly recommend this vacation rental.

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!

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!

Loved our Stay

We loved our time at the Barndominium. It was a great place for me to hang out while my husband was working and he enjoyed it in the evenings. It was clean, beautifully decorated, had everything you could possibly need to cook or grill your own meals. We have stayed in many properties around the country and this one was the "Best". James and Marty were the perfect hosts, and I feel like we have made new life long friends. Bob and I look forward to our next visit.

Summer Country Weekend Getaway

The Byrd's nest was just what we were looking for a quick weekend summer getaway for family and friends. It was quiet, peaceful, and the Byrds' were very hospitable. Mrs. Byrd welcomed us the first day with a sign on the door (nice touch by the way). The décor on the inside of the barndominum matched the personality of Mrs. Byrd. Our favorite part was the nice patio slab where you can watch the sunset and sunrise and enjoy cool summer winds. We plan on coming back soon.

Country haven

This place doesn’t only provide overnight accommodations, it’s an adventure. It’s peaceful, beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The owners are wonderful and have established quite a farm - goats, turkeys, quail, rabbits, chickens and a gorgeous pond with fish. Extensive porches to watch the sunset and deer. And we loved the outside shower. My 4-year-old wanted to shower twice a day. 😀. And he literally cried when we left. He continues to ask when we’re going back to the farm, and I say with confidence: Soon!

Best little goat farm in Texas!

We had an amazing stay at the Byrds Nest. James and Marty, the owners, were very gracious and excellent hosts. The property is beautiful and a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. They have goats, peacocks, guinea fowl, turkeys, chickens and even a pig to hang out with. The goats are very friendly as are all the critters on the place. The barndominium is beautifully decorated and very clean. Beds were comfortable and you have all the comforts of home. We plan on going back, it was an excellent experience and highly recommended!

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!

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!
