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.

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!

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!

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!

Relaxing & Comfortable

The property was amazing! Private and relaxing while at the same time entertaining and eventful. We brought our daughter with us who’s just shy of a year old and we had everything we needed. We had a blast touring the farm and seeing all the animals. It was nice that our daughter could be apart of that too. We also had the opportunity to enjoy some live music.. thanks to the owners. Best place we’ve stayed so far at a home away from home. We miss those dogs too!

5 ladies in our group stayed in the Barndominium for 1 night but it wasn’t nearly long enough for us to take in everything at this breathtaking property. Hosts have thought of everything for your memorable stay, and were so very kind gracious & accommodating. They have put ALOT of love & hard work in their place & it shows! All modern interior, incredible gardens and such a variety of well cared for animals! There is something here for everyone but for me it was the outdoor shower under the stars with the softest water!
