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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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!

Quiet, special comfort!

Marty and James’s Byrd’s Nest is a uniquely comfortable and welcoming countryside rental. Updated and attractive decor go hand in hand with charming anenities such as a private patio and wonderful outdoor shower. Wish we’d had more time to spend with resident animal and plant life and just enjoy the open, serene vistas. Owners are such nice owners/hosts!

Gracious country living

We are delighted to have found this wonderful property. The pictures accurately represent the level of quality, but can’t capture the excellent experience. From the kind and gracious hosts to the well appointed kitchen, the Barndominium seemed a home away from home for our three generation party of four. Highly recommended.
