We had a wonderful stay here! We stayed for 3 nights. We had 4 adults and 3 children and we had plenty of space! The home was cozy. The beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were perfect. Especially the master bath with that HUGE walk in shower! The game room was amazing! That was our hangout spot anytime we weren’t sleeping or out sightseeing. We had so much fun in there. The location was close enough to the places we wanted to visit (like Magnolia) to be convenient but just far enough outside Waco to be quiet and peaceful. The property was beautiful! We would sit out on the porch swings in the morning with our coffee. The host was extremely responsive anytime we had a question. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place! My friends and I meet up in Waco for a girl’s trip once a year and this is our favorite place to stay. Just far enough out of town that we feel like we’ve gotten away but close enough that it’s just a quick run up the road to get whatever we need. Always super clean, great beds, cozy set up, and the host is really friendly and communicates well. Stay here, you won’t regret it!

Stayed at this cabin with my family during the winter storm & the host was so kind and responsive to any concerns or specific requests we had. We especially enjoyed the game area, beautiful bathrooms, and cozy living area. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay I can’t wait to come back
