Take it easy at this unique, family and pet-friendly farmhouse and farm experience.
This classic farmhouse sits on 13 tranquil acres of waterfront property (Highland Bayou) which is also home to cattle, donkeys and a horse. Nestled conveniently 40 minutes south of Houston and 15 minutes north of Galveston, this is the ultimate getaway.
We resided on this farm for 10 years. Our children spent their earliest years here. We are thrilled to share our slice of heaven with you!
The space
The farmhouse itself is 1,760 square feet. The open interior floorplan makes it feel very spacious and the 3 bedrooms are on the perimeter. Bedroom 1 and 2 have very spacious closets and dresser storage. These two bedrooms share a bathroom with two sinks and a walk-in shower which features double shower-heads. The third bedroom features two bunk beds with full sized mattresses. 4 adults can comfortably sleep in this room. If willing to bunk up, 8 people can fit. The washer and dryer are also featured in this bedroom and it has access to the second bathroom which features a bathtub.
There is abundant deck space on the front and back of the house with many Adirondak chairs for relaxing and taking in the view. There is basically unlimited parking, as you can line the driveway with cars.
Events/parties at this location are allowed for up to 40 people on this rental site. For any event (for example a wedding, family reunion, birthday party) with more than 40 people, event pricing takes effect. Contact host for special event pricing.
Guest access
The entire farmhouse and surrounding property are yours for your stay. The only stipulation is you are not allowed to cross the white fenceline into any animal pastures.
Other things to note
This is a working farm. Please respect the animals and the property and be sure to pick up any trash or debris you’ve generated on the grounds before leaving.
*Day-of event insurance is required for all large events held on-site. This insurance must be obtained through a third-party provider, with typical costs ranging from $100–$200 depending on coverage.
“We hosted our daughter’s wedding here on Halloween. We decorated the outside and Brittany was kind enough to let us hang the lights we needed to light up the dance floor!”
“This small farm stay was perfect for what our family needed at the time. Even though it’s in the middle of a neighborhood, you’d never know it. It was very peaceful.
The playset was a happy surprise as we had 5 small children with us. The animals were so fun to see! We even got to feed them apples and carrots. The bayou in front of the house is so lively with frogs and fish to watch!
The house is laid out well and you will never run out of towels! Beds are firm but very comfortable. There was a table of anything you could need when we walked in (sunscreen, bug spray, even s’more’s supplies!) And anything we needed Brittany was readily available to answer questions.
If we’re ever in that area again, we will definitely stay at Buckley Farm!”
“Brittany is an amazing host. Ulysse promptly handles all grounds needs/requests. This hideaway’s peaceful & serene scenery was the perfect match to our annual fish fry! Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. Like us, most attendees, as well as some Hitchcock natives, didn’t know such a gem was tucked away in the area. Therefore, you may receive bookings from a few of the guests. I know we’ll book again!! Many thanks again, Brittany, for the warm hospitality. You & Ulysse are top tier in my book.”
“If you are looking for a place to unplug and separate from the huddle of life highly recommend it, you can definitely rest with no worries and wake up to farm animals that you can feed every morning. The host is extremely helpful and will go above and beyond to make your stay the best.”
“A true hidden gem! This place is so beautiful inside and out!! The house is very equipped with all the essentials. It’s so peaceful. The host Brittany is very quick with any questions. I would highly recommend this home to anyone interested.”

“It meant the world to be able to celebrate such a huge moment in our lives in a space that felt so warm and welcoming. You went above and beyond to make everything work, and we’ll never forget how much love and generosity you poured into making it all happen. You made this experience so special for us and we’re beyond grateful. This wedding wouldn’t have been the same anywhere else, and we’ll always cherish not just the day itself, but the kindness and support you showed throughout.”
“I just wanted to thank you so, so much for opening your door to me and my family. Your ranch is paradise! My family loved it too and are still talking about it and saying how much fun they had.”
“I fell in love with the farm as soon as we arrived to celebrate my mom’s birthday for the weekend. We have a big family and everyone couldn’t say enough about how beautiful and relaxing it was. There were things to do for all ages. The house was very spacious and it had everything we needed. The host is extremely nice and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptionally comfortable and welcoming. This Airbnb met our expectations and then some! Highly recommend! We will definitely go back soon. “
“We had the most wonderful stay! This home is just perfect! The moment we walked in we felt at home. The furnishings and décor are pristine and SO BEAUTIFUL! The farmhouse was peaceful & secluded, perfect getaway for my family. I super appreciated the thoughtful touches from Brittany (who is a FANTASTIC host). She was very attentive & made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I have been using Airbnb for 7 years and this was hands down the best little getaway for us. My family fished & caught several red, trout, 1 gar & 1 drum. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the supplies you need for cooking, & the convenience of the double oven & amazing stovetop was a huge plus for me. I couldn’t say what I loved more, fishing, drinking coffee on the back porch watching the animals, relaxing on the front porch with an amazing view, or playing arcade games that took me back to my childhood. Ultimate Waterfront Farmhouse is highly recommended, we can’t wait to come back!”
