This remarkable home sits on over 16 acres of Private land covered in Oak trees, a private pond & lake, wildflowers. Six of these acres are heavily wooded & perfect for a wildlife expedition. The property is nestled alongside the banks of a spring fed (20acre) bass filled lake, perfect for any fisherman. Your stay will be enhanced with the following amenities:
Tv High-speed internet/WiFi Flatscreen in livingroom Tv's in master & den Apple TV- live streaming DVD player Fishing Equipment
Conveniently located just 1 mile off I-35, only 9 miles from McLane Stadium & 10 miles from Magnolia Markets, "The Silos". Cameron Park, Cameron Park Zoo, Texas Rangers Museum, Dr Pepper Museum, Mayborn Museum, Brazos River & The Shops of River Square Center are all within a 15 minute drive.
This property was never occupied, as the Meek family was transferred out of state before they were able to occupy the home!! It remains almost identical to what aired on Season 3, episode 6 of the FIXER UPPER! You will certainly feel captivated by your surroundings both inside & out. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!!
*Please note, this land is in its natural form & has some great rugged terrain. The lake and tree covered areas are kept somewhat organic & are part of the nostalgia that makes the Barndominium experience so unique! Fishing, kayaking, lounge floating or just taking a dip in the lake are welcomed. Just be aware that it doesn't have sandy white beaches so the banks may have some areas of high grass or floating Lilly-like pads, depending on the season & weather.

Cozy private area. Plenty of space to spread out. There was sand in one of the top bunks in the bed, so two people ended up having to share a bed space. The kitchen was fully stocked and loved having access to a rooftop deck. The pond has a lot of sticks so it really was not fishable. The property is peaceful and is close enough to all the things Waco.
My family and I loved our stay at the Barndominium!! It was spacious and had great views. The host was also very friendly and responsive to all our questions. We really liked that the home was near to the Silos and other attractions in the area.
Ten ladies spent a lovely weekend at the Barndominium; we had our book discussions inside and outside on the deck. We enjoyed shopping at Fanled book shop and the Silos.
Traveling from several locations, our extended family enjoyed a relaxing Thanksgiving get together. The large table made the dining experience more special and the views and weather were perfect. From playing games, to fishing and breaking bread together, this experience was one to be cherished and remembered.
We had a great time with our adult children, there was plenty of room and the surroundings were peaceful and beautiful. It was close enough to town to take advantage of see the Dr Pepper Museum and for a day of shopping. Perfect weekend getaway!!
wonderful location, easy to drive to, easy access to the property, big open area for the kids to run around, great communication with the hosts. We had an amazing time. Only issue was that its a two story so it would be hard for someone with disabilities to navigate.
The Barnomidium was a unique and luxurious experience that was close to Baylor's campus. Incredible outdoor area and beautifully decorated interior with lots of amenities.
We love to stay here again.
Stayed with many family members ages 8-78 who came for a family members funeral. We were able to share our meals and our stories and just hang out together without being enclosed in a room. Plenty of space to walk, play and cook. Immediately checked to see if this listing was available for thanksgiving but it was not. Would highly recommend.
Being a big "Fixer Upper" and Chip & Joanna Gaines fan, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to book this property! The grounds and home were beautiful, and you could tell it was totally Joanna's vibe inside. We even watched the Fixer Upper episode where they remodeled the Barndominium while we were there...that was fun! We were looking around at everything as they were doing it, which was really entertaining. (Season 3, Episode 7).The rooms were very comfortable and clean. The property was fairly well stocked with household items, minus a few minor things (salt & pepper, napkins), but nothing to complain about.The grounds were pretty and it was quiet and peaceful there. It was entertaining to watch the family of deer pass by through the large french doors.The banquet table is so impressive! We ate meals there since one of our party was elderly and couldn't really do the stairs to go up where the kitchen was. That actually took a little getting used to (having the kitchen and living area upstairs), and may be something to consider for future visitors.Overall, we really enjoyed it. It wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience!

Multiple family weekend getaway
If you like chip and Joanna Gaines, you should love this place. It’s definitely missing a bit of up keep though.
Positives
-great for large groups
-comfortable beds
-lots of cookware/utensils
-land for kids to run around on
-very easy to check in and out
Not so great…
-kitchenware was all a bit dirty and everything was just shoved into drawers
-was told there was swimming opportunities but the “lake” was basically brown stagnant water and not really swimmable.
-the kitchen is on the 2nd floor and the large table in the picture is on floor 2 so not super accessible for meals
Overall it served its purpose but at that price point, I expected a bit more in terms of the facility but I’m sure part of the price has to do with the fact that it’s sort of famous??
We had a wonderful stay with every comfort from home! It actually rained the entire weekend so we were so grateful for a beautiful home to enjoy being cooped up. We really loved cooking in the beautiful kitchen and eating at the huge dining room table! Big bonus for us that it was dog friendly! We would stay again:-)
The Barndeminium is exactly as expected. We had a great time and the property is within 15 minutes of every attraction we attended. We visited the Silos, the Castle, and did Zoo lights.
We had the best time staying for my mother in law’s 70th birthday with our family and kids in January. We would love to come back. Picture perfect property!

Breathtaking
We had an amazing time. There's not a better place to stay in the entire Waco area. Hoping for the best as we would return over and over no doubt about it.
This property has a lot of potential but needs some TLC to be a great stay. You really aren’t able to fish or swim. It needs some sort of dock to get past all the buildup at the bank. Overall we did enjoy our stay but there were just a few little things that need to be addressed.
