Great weekend getaway

Wife and I enjoyed our weekend getaway in the “silo” not far from town for those who want to see people but far enough away to feel like your disconnected for hustle and bustle.

Fantastic Property

The property was beautiful! The hosts put a lot of effort into making this place a beautiful spot to stay. The icing on the top of the already wonderful cake is the hot tub we enjoyed after a long day at the Renaissance Fair. We would absolutely stay again!

Hidden Gem

Not enough wonderful things to say about this hideaway! The love and detail is evident throughout the property and inside the Silo (home). The hosts are super available when needed and the check in and out process seamless. The hot tub was a nice addition to the relaxing stay, pretty much feeling like you are in luxury, but also out in nature... One of my favorite features is the balcony where at night, you get to see the stars as well as city lights far into the distance. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. I would stay there again the next time that I go to the Scarborough Renaissance Festival. 10 out of 10 stay! :)

Peaceful Stay

It was exactly as advertised. Extremely unique!! The owner's made a concerted effort to respect my privacy--although unecessary, as they were the kindest folks. If I'd had the opportunity, I would've spent some time with them at a bon fire, but my work shcedule just wouldn't allow it. It was an extremely peaceful and comfortable stay and will definitely stay again when in that area!! Thank you Lee and Cathy!

Great experience and loved the stay!

The silo was a fantastic experience and a great location. It had everything you needed for a fantastic weekend getaway. The property does need a little TLC but I enjoyed it thoroughly. Bed was to soft lol. Beethoven was a wonderful surprise and enjoyed and welcomed his evening visit (St. Bernard). He put the icing on the cake.

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Tamminga

Howdy, Im Lykele Tamminga but you can call me Lee and Cathy and our fur child, Fia. I am from a small northern farm town in Holland and moved to Waxahachie in 1984. I grow up on a dairy farm in Holland and Waxahachie. Cathy is from Hickory NC and moved to Texas in 1979. We were Jr.High sweethearts for 2 years then we went our separate ways. 25 years later we end up back together. We both grow up here... literally just across the fields. I am a grain harvester and Cathy is a homesteader. Starting greenhouses and chicken coops this year. We wanted to share our unique Silo House with others while we are gone for harvest.

Why they chose this property

After the family dairy stopped milking I decided to recycle the grain silo... into our house. I had 15 acres to put it on, so I welding two trailers together and hooked up to the tractor and away we went. I did all the welding and fabrication and had a local builder help with the framing and interior. I studied the sunrises and sunsets so that you could see both views from inside. It truly is peaceful and quiet out here. You can truly feel like you are the only people on Earth.

What makes this property unique

Some of the most beautiful sunrise and sunsets...Weather sitting on the porch or the balcony. There is always a breeze at The Silo House which is great for the Hammock in The BIg Foot Forest. Take a soak in the hot tub and watch the amazing sunsets. Plus you get to stay in a round house that once feed thousands of Dairy Cows... Pretty Cool. And check out our little/big town of Waxahachie. So much to do and see here for all walks of life.
