A lovely, cozy cabin and Keli was a great host. Everything was as described and Keli was very responsive in assisting me with the check in lockbox. And I loved the wine glasses and fresh fruit! Would recommend it for a relaxing get-away.

About the host

Hosted by Kelli B

Host profile image
Blue Eagle is my Cherokee name and I come from 7 generations of Native Texans. I promote peace and harmony and seek same like minded guests who enjoy quiet, nature and the simplistic, minimalistic approach to life. I offer rental cabins and a retreat setting as this is where I like to spend my time when I can as well. I am a world traveler who has experienced many cultures and appreciate the slow life along with slow food approach. No rush, no stress, just enjoy every day and life with a purpose while living your passion, as I do....

Why they chose this property

I offer exceptionally clean and affordable cabins for your retreat get a way! We seek to please you and provide you a clean, small, space for you to enjoy (uninterrupted), as you seek your next adventure in Central Texas in the growing Waco area. We are in the country for your escape, but just a short drive to Waco (20 mins or so) to great restaurants, shopping, Silos/Magnolia, Homestead Heritage, sporting events, Baylor University, the Cameron Park Zoo, Historic Brazos River, Water sports, great fishing on Lake Waco and other surrounding lakes.

Our cabins are nearly new and are so well thought out, and we pay attention to every little detail, as if we were staying in them while traveling. Just bring your toothbrush, food and drinks and you are set. You may want extra firewood for the bonfire pit as well. (note some burn bans can be in place, ask first before starting bon fire).

We maintain a certified wildlife habitat here for wild animals and migrating monarch butterflies. We are a nature haven here and like to keep it that way. We hope you see some wildlife while you are here. You definitely will across the street at the high fenced exotic ranch. Wake to watching Blackbuck antelope, deer, rams, and so much more.. You may even hear the sounds of crying coyotes or mountain lions in the distance... We like it wild here... so enjoy the experience.... If you prefer a more refined experience, please book in town, as we are not a city hotel... .

Won't you be our guest and explore why so many others have given us 5 star rating... we would love to host you.

Peaceful, quiet setting in the country. Hear the sounds of birds, occasional deer, and wildlife sounds. Feed the mini donkeys their special treats from silver can at pedestrian gate at cabana.

What makes this property unique

Fully Furnished and equipped.. Roku movies and many streaming aps to choose from... Free Wifi and feel free to enjoy the entire retreat setting..

Spring time is absolutely beautiful here. Book early, as we book up. We host many travelers seeking a tranquil experience, who want a great night sleep. We offer that here with the peace you will receive. All beds have memory foam toppers as well. We aim to please.
