This charming hideaway offers the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with plenty of ways to play.

Perfect Little Getaway

Husband and I booked a trip to Waco and wanted to stay the night somewhere different/unique. Not too far from town but was so nice to be out in “the country.” This place was perfect! Loved the pool and the games provided out on the lawn. Great stay!

Great stay!

The 2 bedroom was the perfect size for our family! Peaceful setting with great outdoor seating and playground that was wonderful for our 3 year old. The check in and out process was easy and the hosts were nice to text and check in on us to see if we needed anything. Easy access to get to Waco but felt more relaxing being outside of town. We would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend it!

Great stay!

The property and room were lovely (2 bedroom cottage). We had a small graduation party over the weekend and they were kind enough to set up a private table/chairs for our group. The kids enjoyed the pool and activities around the common area (giant jenga, washers, horse shoes, swing set).
