Thoughtful Hosts
The back 40 was a great property! It has a big, beautiful backyard that we enjoyed and the house itself is stocked with anything you might need! Amazing how thoughtful the hosts were in preparing the house for visitors of all ages. This was a perfect house to spend the weekend in as we celebrated our daughter’s graduation from Texas A&M.

Talk about stocked vacation home! The back fourty was amazing! I utilized many kitchen amenities! Of special interest was the nespresso machine ❤️. We also loved the quiet neighborhood, nearness to the park, the pretty seating under the string lights and the fenced in back yard!

Great family times!
This house was perfect!! The house was very comfortable and felt like home. We really enjoyed the fact that we did not have to pack so much to have an enjoyable stay. Everything from a pack n play to toys for every age was provided. The weather was cold and windy so being outside wasn't ideal. No matter, everyone was easily entertained without the TV. The backyard is very big which was nice for our pet. We would definitely stay there again!

Cousin’s Trip
Each year we pick a different city in Texas for a vacation with cousins. This year it was in Bryan/College Station. We were very pleased with our choice, The Back Forty. It was clean, comfortable, had a nice backyard, plenty of games and entertainment and overall had everything we needed. The Hosts made this place a welcoming home for us to spend a few days away from our own busy lives. We thoroughly enjoyed it!

Family Birthday Celebration
This house was perfect! The house itself was cozy and comfortable. It has a plethora of toys for children to play with and great games for the adults also. The backyard is beautiful and, although we have family in Cstat, everyone gathered for family meals with us! They loved sitting outside, watching the children play and visiting. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip!

Very comfortable
We enjoyed this sweet little house for our stay in Aggieland and daughters TAMU graduation. It was comfortable, nicely decorated and has a very pretty back yard that was peaceful to sit out and be with family. The garage is full of games which we enjoyed and the kitchen had everything we needed including a nice coffee bar. We were comfortable and enjoyed our family and the graduation events with no worries and no stress. Minutes from campus and the west side of town.

Everything we needed and more!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here while visiting our student at A&M. The property owner has thought of everything you might need during your stay. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking at home and there is also an outdoor grill. There are puzzles, game boards, ping pong, etc. The back yard is lovely with a fire pit and covered eating area plus lots of birds to watch and listen to with morning coffee. We brought our dog who also enjoyed the fenced backyard. The location is very convenient to campus and in a quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect, peaceful place to stay while visiting A&M.

About the host

Hosted by Jean Marie Rich

Host profile image
Hi! My husband and I live in College Station and have the opportunity to spend most of our days working with college students through an organization called Impact Retreats for incoming students at A&M and Blinn. We are an adoptive family and now have three kids. We love traveling and learning about other cultures, and meeting new friends. We will most likely spend money on a new game to play together.

Why is it called “Back Forty?” Back Forty is the term to describe the furthest or most remote part of the farm.
Jean Marie's parents, Bill and Charlene, who live in Arkansas, purchased this home. Bill is a retired rice farmer from Nicholson Farms in Cherry Valley, AR. Charlene is a retired math school teacher.
Recently, they expanded part of the “farm” to Texas to be closer to their grandkids. They use it when they visit three of their twelve grandchildren. Plus, “BackForty” sounded more invited on Vrbo than “Nicholson Farms.”

When they aren't here, I use my 15+ years in the hotel/retreat hospitality industry to help ensure other guests feel at home while staying at the BCS Back Forty.

Why they chose this property

We have a high return rate because our guests love that the home is well-stocked, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. We aim to be fully booked with repeat guests and with their referrals because their experience with us is like none other.

What makes this property unique

We think of everything so you don't have to.

We use Southern hospitality to make our family's home away from home YOUR home.

It's a remodeled 1955 home with original hardwood floors, a large fenced backyard, a shaded patio with string lights, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Enjoy the home's amenities in a quiet, developed neighborhood, all while being 2 miles from A&M and the best food and excitement.

We're locals, so it's a priority that guests feel the 5-star care in the details and experience and if anything were to arise, we are able to quickly find a resolution.

This house is a beautiful guest home set up for rentals year-round. You won't feel like you are intruding on anyone's space. It has everything you need, things you forgot, and several things you will enjoy! Guests can arrive as needed using their personalized code to enter the home.

Enjoy exploring and creating your best cup of coffee using our coffee bar. It offers a drip pot, single-cup Keurig, a Nespresso machine, and assorted syrups and creamers to guarantee a delicious cup of Joe.

For the smaller guests, there is a pack-n-play, highchair, kids' plates and cups, and toys and books for all ages.

There is a gas grill, ping-pong table, shuffleboard, arcade basketball, many outdoor lawn games, and a shaded patio with string lights. Plus, it is an easy 2-minute walk to one of the largest parks in Bryan-College Station.

There is a smart TV in the living room and a smart TV in the master bedroom that allows you to enjoy YouTube TV. For non-screen entertainment, create memories with the provided puzzles and board games during your stay.

This home provides a space to cook meals, including an air fryer, instant pot, crockpot, and outdoor gas grill. If you prefer not to cook, don't worry; the best delicious foods between Bryan and College Station are nearby.
