Bring your own kayak and launch in the Brazos River. (We do not have a dock to launch from so the bank can be muddy).

Last Minute Stay

It was my 40th birthday and we were planning on just grabbing a hotel but on our way we checked here. So glad we did! What an amazing property and stay! Quiet and clean. 15 stars. Great communication. Love the homestead community and the Waffle Co! Great communication with host as well as we left a few things and they are coordinating getting it to us. So nice! Will stay again if in the area!

Beautiful ranch cabin getaway

Breathtaking cabin located on the quiet ranch land. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs, big dining room table to gather. And we happily took part in the horseback riding that the ranch had to offer. Will definitely return.

Beautiful Log Home

This home is so charming, and pleasant. The beds are comfortable. It has all the mod cons needed. The water pressure is great for showering. The water stayed hot while in the bath, and the front bathroom has a detachable shower head, which I really appreciated. Liquid bath soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets were available too. The home is located down a two(?)mile, very private road, which makes for a quieter, more serene stay. It’s approximately 8 miles off of I-35.Homestead Heritage is on the way to the home. Definitely search HH before going. It will be a wonderfully convenient place to visit, shop, and eat. The Cafe Homestead has wonderful food. No alcohol is served, but one can BYOB of wine, and pay a set up fee. One in our party uses a walker. There is a safe and sturdy ramp for easy accessibility. We loved this place so much that we booked again in May.

Amazing stay in quiet cabin

Everything about it was pitch perfect. We loved staying in such a quiet and beautiful setting. It is still close enough to do anything in Waco. The property is walking distance to the Homestead Heritage and we were there during the sorghum festival. I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Very Private and Quiet

Although the cabin is a bit difficult to find, once you arrive it is beyond worth the trouble. Its been a long time since I was able to fall asleep in total silence. Wonder location and will be a common stay for us as we visit our daughter at Baylor.

Beautiful property and location - need more cleaning

We enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful and very quiet. We enjoyed the little lake and trails surrounding the property. Downside is that it needs better cleaning. We found a "lot" of hair in the bathrooms before we even used it. The dryer's filter wasn't cleaned for a looong time and the kitchen equipment also could use a good scrub.

Wonderful place

This place was amazing so peaceful but near all you'd want to visit. Fished in the pond and caught 4 nice size bass (released all). Beds super comfy, house was very clean and well stocked. Saw a bunch of horses passing by the house on the last day which was AMAZING. Wonderful family get away ahead of the holidays. Hosts were quick to answer all questions.

You won’t be disappointed

This cabin was located very close to Waco and the property is beautiful. It was large enough for several adults with a good size kitchen, comfy beds, and very clean. The Brazos ranch also offers horseback riding and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Just adjacent to the cabin is a restaurant and craft nonprofit campus that was interesting. The area was quiet and peaceful.
