Private Country Brenham Escape w/Pool

Chappell Hill, TX, United States

14 guests
4 bedrooms
3 bathrooms

Escape to the Walking Star Farm - close to the conveniences of modern life (even Instacart delivers) but feels like a world away. You’ll feel your blood pressure drop when you cross the cattle guard and see the expansive sky and countryside. The large deck and separate screened in porch is perfect for outside meals, watching the stars or sunrise, or just enjoying the pool. This quiet retreat has all the amenities (even a Peloton!) you need to make your stay relaxing and refreshing.

Good to know

A true modern farmhouse recently remodeled and newly furnished with comfort in mind, this 4 bedroom house is perfect for families or friends looking for a quiet escape. The house has 3 bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs. All bathrooms are downstairs. There is a pool with hot tub and an automatic pool cover for convenience and safety. There is also a fully enclosed screened in porch with a big screen tv and dining area. On property is on 12 acres with about an acre of fenced yard, outside of the fence is a firepit perfect for smores or evenings by the fire. You'll be amazed at how private the entire property feels. Fully furnished with all the necessities and a kitchen that comes well equipped (spices, tools, etc). The house comes with a Nespresso Vertuo machine and coffee maker. There is also a Peloton and an ice maker that makes nugget ice!! Outside you’ll find a hot tub and pool and a trampoline. There is a fire pit available as well. The house is 10 mins from historic downtown Brenham, 10 minutes to Chappell Hill, 6 minutes to the Kenney Store and 20 minutes to Round Top.

Other Details to Note

This is the country so you may hear or see coyotes, snakes, skunks, or a barn cat from time to time. Be aware there are bugs and while we do our best to keep them out of the house, they find their way in sometimes. Please note the house is on septic so do not flush anything but toilet paper. The automatic pool cover is controlled by a keypad but please do not touch the aluminum bar that is exposed when the pool is open. You must sign a waiver to use the pool and the trampoline. If you go in the field, please ensure you lock the gates at night - the yard has been visited by wild hogs before and you will be liable for damages if the gate is left unlocked.

This home was exactly as described! It was a peaceful and spacious farmhouse out in the country. The home was well equipped with everything you might need and even an ice machine that made Sonic-style ice! We were close enough to Round Top to shop, yet still able to be out where it was quiet and private. The owner gave us lots of great recommendations and she was always quick to respond. Don’t wait, just book it!

Perfect location between Austin and Houston for our girls' weekend. We loved this beautiful home and all of its amenities...the screened-in porch, well-stocked kitchen, comfy blankies for the couch, and the coveted yummy Sonic-ice machine!! Darcy was always responsive and sweet when we had a question, and very accommodating and helpful. Five stars! :)

We had a fabulous girl's weekend getaway at this beautiful modern country farmhouse! A great location. The layout was great for our group. The amenities were very nice. All the host's recommendations were fantastic - from the charcuterie place, to the restaurants, to the shopping, and other activities suggested. We were fortunate enough to discover that an 80s cover band was playing in downtown Brenham on Saturday night!! A lovely surprise, and we had a GREAT time listening and dancing to 80s music. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular!! And the lovely pool in July was divine!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We had the most wonderful time at Darcy Ann’s home! I knew it’d be beautiful from the pictures but nothing prepared me to experience it in person. It was so peaceful, private, and felt like our own little slice of Heaven. The house was so homey and had everything you could ever need like kitchen supplies, towels, blankets etc. It slept 13 of us very comfortably and we were able to make a meal and all eat together at the Airbnb. The pool was so easy to operate and so nice to use in this Texas heat. We will definitely be back in the future and would highly highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a slow, restful, and rejuvenating weekend!!!
