About this property

Nice and quiet just minutes from Magnolia

Enjoy a tranquil setting in this modern farmhouse for a family gathering, a celebration or some relaxation. Completely updated but still quaint and cute, this lodging is the perfect getaway. Complete with a screened-in porch, an upstairs game room for the kids (or big kids), a four person spa installed November 2020 and plenty of outdoor area, this place can and will accommodate.

Upon arrival, you and your guests will enjoy deciding which bedroom fits you best. Will it be the master suite decorated with the popular buffalo check details or the cozy front bedroom complete with a sleigh bed and delicate details? Or maybe you will want to stay in the popular Waco-room with accents from our town’s past and present.

We are located on the edge of Waco just a few minutes of downtown Waco and shopping. Other places of interest near our home are Highlander Ranch-McLennan Community College, Waco Mammoth National Monument, Waco Regional Airport, Lake Waco Golf Club, Lake Waco, and the Brazos & Bosque Rivers.

Nice House and Property Close To Waco

We really loved the nice and quiet house and it is in a wonderful and peaceful location. It is very nice inside and outside and we loved the screened in porch. It was just minutes into Waco to all the places we visited. The premier host provided helpful information before, during, and after our visit. We had a few questions and they responded quickly. We definitely recommend it when planning a visit to Waco.

Great Country Getaway

The property is so cute, tucked away down a country road but close enough to town for amenities. It was well appointed and had all the items needed for our group of 7 to have a nice reunion staycation. We absolutely adored the sunroom and the hot tub. The owners were communicative and helpful for all requests. The only negative point to state was the beds were not the greatest. I think the mattress toppers have been worn down so they all had permanent dips in them. If they replaced those tops this would be the best rental ever.

Adorable Cottage Perfect for Waco Weekend

We rented this home for our daughter’s Baylor graduation weekend. It was a great space and fit our needs well. The home was immaculately clean and even decorated for Christmas! There was coffee and creamer and even snacks. I regret that we weren’t there for longer as I would’ve loved to have enjoyed the hot tub and screened in porch. My only complaint was that the mattresses in the master bedroom, loft and queen sized bedroom were not very comfortable. In particular the master bedroom mattress was way too soft and the loft bedroom had a mattress coil poking my son as he slept. Once that is improved, this place will be somewhere I’d love to come back to! One other caution: this home is out in the country. Not too far from all the Waco sights but it is a bit of a drive. Our family loved the setting. It was serene and a beautiful drive.

Wonderful stay

Nice and quiet is a very accurate description of this wonderful property. It was a perfect location for our family weekend trip to Waco for the Homestead Heritage Fair. The owners were very quick in responding to our questions and making sure we had all of the information for the house in plenty of time before our arrival. Instructions in the home were very clear. The snacks and coffee were very much appreciated. My 5 year old granddaughter loved the upstairs space to sleep and play. The home was clean and comfortable. We hope to visit again soon.

I wanna live here!

It’s always a good stay when you hate to leave and you wish you could take the home back as a souvenir. Such a peaceful stay in a beautiful place. Since we live in the city, we wanted a farm stay in the country while being close to plenty to do and this place delivered that and more. The hot tub was completely private. The furnishings were comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh. We had everything we needed supplied to us for a week long stay in Waco. We will definitely stay again when we’re in town. A wonderful home away from home!

Baylor Graduation

The house is great! Very clean and comfortable. Great location. Well stocked with supplies. The barbecue and hot tub both work great. My only criticism would be that It’s a little farther away from downtown than I thought it would be (about 15 minutes). Not to far out though. Would definitely stay there again.

80th Birthday Celebration

We celebrated my mother-in-law's 80th birthday during our stay. This property was clean and exactly as advertised. Communication with the host was excellent. This place is out in the country, but we got to most restaurants and things in Waco within 15 minutes. Quiet, nice location.

Aesthetically charming, clean, and perfect for our stay with 8 adults aged 20-83. Master bedroom and another bedroom with soft, comfortable mattresses, roomy, good water pressure. Room with twin beds perfect for daughter and elderly mom using walker. Brother and daughters boyfriend chilled up in “game room,” those mattresses were not that comfortable, however there were enough blankets to pad them. Definitely will stay again since my brother works at Baylor. Wonderful time!

Just like the pictures

We had a great girls trip to Waco and we loved staying here. It is a great location just a few minutes outside of Waco. It was very clean, nicely furnished, and very welcoming. We enjoyed the hot tub after a full day of fun. The property manager kept in touch throughout our stay, was very helpful and gave timely responses. I would highly recommend this rental and would stay here again.

We had a wonderful experience with Donnie, Jess plus Brandy… the home was just as expected! The hospitality and communication was above and beyond all expectations! We would definitely stay with them again if we come back to Waco. I was in Waco with my four kids ages 9-19 and my mom. The house had plenty of space and plenty to do. Thank you again Donnie for your hospitality and kindness toward our family.

A Little slice of Heaven just outside of Waco

Hands down one of the best experiences we have had. The home was amazing, very clean and inviting. The host has thought of absolutely everything to make you feel right at home as soon as you walk in the door! It’s a very peaceful setting just minutes from Waco so after a busy day spending time with family and or visiting the sights it was great to sit on the front porch and just enjoy the peace, beautiful surroundings and just relax. Don’t pass this little gem up, you will not be disappointed ! Will definitely book here again on our next trip to Waco. Huge thank you to the host for sharing such an amazing property!!!

Country Calm

Set in a very quiet area, you have a wonderful vista of the cattle grazing just across the road! The home is beautiful, and the interior appears much larger than the pictures. Our group of 5 friends had plenty of rooms to choose from, and 3 bathrooms was a huge bonus. Our favorite thing besides the cute and comfortable interior were the porches! My only suggestion might be to add additional outdoor seating to both.

Waco with friends

Booked this property for 3 older adult couples to visit Waco. Perfect quiet location just out of town but convenient. Easy commute each day. The house was spacious, clean and meet all ours needs. Parking was great for 3 vehicles. Will definitely consider again for future visits. Property description was exactly as described.

Extremely clean, relaxing & lots of privacy

My 3 friends and I, all women in our 50’s & 60’s, stayed for the weekend and we absolutely loved it. We never left the house - played games, enjoyed the hot tub, cooked and relaxed. We each had our own room. Having 3 bathrooms was very convenient, kitchen is fully functional, laundry room, screened in porch, etc. Sometimes when you rent these rural properties, you cross your fingers hoping it’s as private as the ad portrays - this one is. You can sit out on the porch or in the hot tub and feel like you’re in a relaxing country setting with complete privacy. It was super cute, comfortable and EXTREMELY clean. If I could give it 6 stars for cleanliness, I would. Highly recommend.

We had a great stay. House was very clean and everything worked great. Towels were nice and super soft. I liked relaxing on the screened porch in the morning. It was a relaxing 10 minute drive back an forth to Waco on quiet rural roads.
