About this property
Mama’s House
Step away from it all when you visit Mama’s House. Sit at the kitchen table and watch the birds and wild deer, or relax in the outside rockers and breathe in the country air and enjoy just the quiet.
We’re 35 minutes from Waco, Baylor campus & McClane Stadium, and Chip & Joanna’s The Silo’s. Valley Mills may be small, with Hwy 6 running through the middle, but it has some unique shopping and excellent places to grab a bite or just a cup of coffee. Gatesville, and Clifton are “just around the corner” also.
This house is in the country, 5 miles from town, and sits on the northern corner of the Damnrox Ranch, where you may see cows, chickens and an occasional guinea fowl.
Although the house only sleeps 4, at Mama’s House kids are always welcome, just bring you bedrolls and sleep on the floor. Additional fees over 4 guest will apply.
