Ring Day Party

We booked several nights to be there for our son’s Ring Day and have a family party a few days later. The house is lovely and the beautiful yard allowed us to have a corn hole competition! We will definitely be back!

Family girls trip

The farmhouse was perfect inside and out. The roses were blooming when we arrived. The front porch is welcoming, every room is clean, comfortable and sweetly decorated. The chickens are friendly and the fresh eggs were a real treat. We loved this little retreat and have already recommended it to friends and family. We will definitely choose it again when we visit College Station.

A taste of home away from home!

Our family made countless memories in College Station when my wife and I were in school at A&M. When we became parents, we always talked about taking our girls to the special place that impacted our lives and our relationship so much! Mr. and Mrs. Scott were fantastic hosts and the house was exactly what we were looking for. Growing up and living in a small town, the peace of the country was something that drew us to the property immediately. After watching the Aggies win at Olson Field, it was so nice “escaping” the hustle and bustle of the town and enjoying some peace and quiet, along with our privacy. Will definitely be staying at the Farmhouse again and a big thank you to our hosts for the accommodations that made a special trip for our family just that much better!

Loved!!

We enjoyed this home so very much. Very clean. Beds so comfortable. Farmhouse with all the updates. Everything you could ever need. More than enough linens and towels, etc. Basic spices, condiments, coffee, tea, creamer all for our use. Loved the chickens and fresh eggs just steps behind the home. The fire pit was a delight. They’ve thought of every detail. Not one single complaint. Loved every minute and truly didn’t want to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy Scott

My husband and I have loved raising our family in College Station. We have lived in town next to TAMU for 17 years and are building a house next door to the Farmhouse. We enjoy reconstructing properties. I usually draw up the plans and my husband does the work. I am a real estate broker in College Station who specializes in residential real estate sales, leasing, and property management. My husband raises cattle and works with me. We truly enjoy each other and our family!

Why they chose this property

We call this sweet property, "Big Oak Farmhouse." The property adjoins the land where we are building our forever home. There are big oak trees on the property, one of which is very old and big! For many years, we hung out at Big Oak, cleaning the land and working on the old structures. When this neighboring farmhouse came on the market for sale, we knew we wanted to make it a part of Big Oak. Neil and I completely gutted the home, taking it down to the solid wood walls. We have enjoyed every part of rebuilding this home and taking it back to a functioning farm house. When we bought the property it even came with chickens!

What makes this property unique

It so happens that the Farmhouse "look" is in style at this time, but Neil and I have always had a nostalgic heart. We selected tin tiles for the ceiling in the kitchen. Neil took a few left over pieces to create a custom queen bed in the back bedroom. He also took reclaimed barn wood from his family farm outside of Cisco, TX to make the hand crafted bathroom cabinets and custom crafted XL twin beds with trundle. He adorned the walls with ship lap boards. We picked a cast iron sink for the kitchen. There are so many neat features to the home. We are still in the process of adding artwork and charm to the home, but everything that is done has been done with purpose. We think you'll love this home and your time here as much as we do.
