Great house - plenty of space to accommodate our group of 12 people. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking our meals. We wished the ping pong table wasn’t broken. We enjoyed visiting with the friendly outdoor cat.

Girls weekend

Large house with lots of bedrooms ( no bunk beds) that suited 14 ladies ranging in age from the 20’s to the 70’s. The owner is VERY responsive. It is a country house that is casual. Wonderfully spacious dining room was great for meals, crafts, and late night chats. We had a wonderful stay!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay while visiting Waco for my daughter’s graduation! With a group of 12 family members spanning multiple generations, finding a home that was spacious, comfortable, and welcoming for everyone was so important—and this property exceeded our expectations.The house is beautiful and well-appointed without feeling overly formal. It truly felt like a home where we could relax, make memories, and let the kids be kids. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the house was stocked with every amenity we could have needed during our stay.There are 30 acres to explore with beautiful scenery. The outdoor space was a highlight for our family. The pool and hot tub were spectacular! We spent our days grilling, celebrating by the pool, and making memories together. In the evenings, we gathered around the table for card games that seemed to go on for hours.As wonderful as the property was, the hosts were the real standout. Jon and Jessica were kind, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure our stay was perfect. Every question was answered quickly, and they went above and beyond our expectations in every way. They also allowed us to decorate around the pool. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone with our family. If you’re looking for a comfortable, family-friendly home with amazing hosts, this is it. We will absolutely stay here again!

Christmas trip

It was easy to find easy to check in the kids are disappointed. The ping-pong tables were broken. The outside kitchen was trash in the bin. The refrigerator had mold in it. It could’ve been a little cleaner. We enjoyed our stay.

Large Group Meeting

Centrally located for our Sales retreat and meeting this was ideal for the 10 of us in the group. Lots of parking Jon checking in on us the first evening and made sure we were ok! Outside Waco but close enough if something was needed. The pool was a plus with the weather being Texas hot summer. Thanks for everything!

Family getaway for 75th Birthday

We had a family gathering for a 75th birthday. We had a great time swimming and hanging out around the pool. There is a lot of space to accommodate large families. Beds were very comfortable! Master bath is wonderful! Jon came by to meet us and showed us how to use the hot tub. We had a situation with a grease fire while grilling burgers. Jon was very kind and a class act. The Collins are good people and you will be in good hands! Rent this property!

Peaceful Country getaway

Dont be scared off by this place being listed out in the country! It has everything you need to enjoy your getaway! The house was large enough to accommodate my large group, plenty of bathroom space and plenty of lounging around space. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything we needed to make our meals and it has a very nice covered outdoor kitchen as well. There was a large dining table so we could actually all sit together for meals, hard to find when you travel with a larger group. We utilized both the pool and the hot tub and even hiked to the back of the property and explored the riverbed. We got to watch deer wander thru which is always exciting for a city dweller. The owner was available to meet us at the property and give us a quick tour so we could ask any questions we had. It made for a very nice family retreat to reconnect and unwind. Highly recommend!

Lovely place

As a quick Christmas/appreciation getaway for our spa team, I was looking for a quiet and enjoyable place for us to relax, yet not be bored. With only two nights to steal away from work, this home was exactly what we needed! It's very clean, open, comfortable and pleasant. The pool, hot tub/spa, gas grill, fire pit, basketball court, swings, open and equipped kitchen, etc... such wonderful amenities... we used it all! And we really didn't want to leave. There were 7 in our group and the place was perfect for us. The home is beautiful, private and very peaceful grounds... yet right off the highway and easily accessible. A close drive to Waco if you're going to Magnolia... and Crawford its self is an adorable town too. The owners, Jon and Jessica, were an absolutely delight! Very accommodating, attentive and kind... and also very respectful of our time there. They showed us the house and took us around some of the property as well. We could have hung out with them all day though, they were very enjoyable company! I highly recommend this property.... I'd come back for sure.

Winning experience!

We stayed in the owner's lovely home during the Waco Ironman race and it was a wonderful experience. The homeowner was very accommodating and helpful. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool and hiking the property. The chickens were fun to watch in the morning and we were the lucky recipients of some fresh eggs. We really enjoyed our stay and the house must have been lucky because my husband qualified for the World Championship in St. George, Utah. Thanks Jon for being a great host.

This place is an Amazing Get away

Me and some friends were looking for a quick get away from Dallas to celebrate the New Year holiday. This was the perfect place. The house is simply stunning. Our group was just adults. It’s very private and secure. We felt like we’re at a resort. The house is very spacious. We hiked to the lake. Sat outside on the outdoor patio Kitchen area played cards, laughing and just enjoying everyone’s company. Jon and his wife are just the best people you’d ever want to meet very gracious hosts. They met us with the warmest welcome, gave us a tour and background on the property, and left us to just enjoy the beauty of the ranch. The rooms are spacious, the beds are very comfortable there’s plenty of bathrooms and dinning enough for 12. We’d definitely stay here again. Thanks Jon and Joanne!
