5 Star Place

Place was absolutely amazing in all aspects. Stayed for a week and had plenty of toiletries, detergent, towels/washcloths, and everything else for the whole week! I don’t think there was a single thing we could’ve ask for. Property itself is a 10/10, very cozy warm home, big game room for fun, and plenty of space. Outdoors are nice too, swings in the front make a good place to drink your morning coffee with a grill to cook your evening dinner. Will absolutely stay here everytime we’re back in the area.

5 stars! Wonderful vacation home

Clean and welcoming! This home was decorated so wonderfully for Christmas that it made it all the more special. It had all the amenities of home. Wish we spent more time in the awesome game room but the living room in the main house was so comfortable. Loved all the attention to detail with the Christmas decor! Thank you for the sharing your wonderful home.

Great family getaway

My family enjoyed our spring break vacation at this beautiful home. It was far enough away from the city to enjoy nature (deer at the back fence, squirrels and birds, and even sheep across the street) but close enough to enjoy sight seeing and a night out for dinner. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. Bedrooms were comfortable with plenty of pillows and blankets where needed. The master bathroom was amazing! The porch swings were perfect mornings listening to the birds as well as college students studying (even on break). The game room was fun for movie nights as well as friendly challenges in foos ball, ping pong, air hockey, basket ball and cards. We had a minor issue but the host took care of it very promptly and communication was excellent. We highly recommend and we will be back when we travel through this area again. Thank you for making our vacation memorable!

Wonderful Gem for the Whole Family

Our family loved this property and enjoyed our quick stay at the Shady Oaks Cabin for Christmas. It was tastefully decorated for Christmas and allowed our family to enjoy family time. (We will be back again for sure). The cabin is cozy but each family member had their privacy as well. The cabin was extremely clean, and the TVs, A/C, and fireplace all worked extremely well. All the beds were cozy, the comforters and pillows were fresh and the sheets and bath towels were as soft as mine from home. Having a clean place to stay is super important to our family, especially with an elderly person who has just finished chemo and gets sick very easily. Our group consisted of an elderly 75-year-old, 3 adults, 2 college boys, and a 12-year-old girl and there was something for everyone. Now, I haven't even gotten to one of our favorite parts!! The outside game room was absolutely awesome and had something for everyone no matter what age group. Ping Pong, Air Hockey, Basketball, Poker, HUGE big screen TV with reclining movie-style chairs (which was great for older folks who want to watch their grandchildren). Also when the adults and grandparents want to head off to bed, you can not hear anything inside from the massive outside game room. The host left snacks which came in handy for the hungry college boys and there was a coffee bar. The property has everything you need and it's not far from Waco and all the sights. We are already planning our next stay.
