Quiet Respite Retreat

I booked this home to put me and my husband close to Bluebonnet viewing areas. The owners left very good instructions entering property and the home was packed with everything I needed to stay at this rural farm like setting. Beds were comfortable,shower is modern with an abundance of linens offered. The homeowner offered fresh laid eggs from their chickens which we savored for breakfast. It was a great experience and definitely would venture back in the future.

Peaceful Family Farm

We chose this property for its green space mostly to rest and recuperate, plus Baylor Homecoming and connecting with old friends. The place was a haven for us and enjoyed the huge trees and seeing the animals. Thank you for keeping it natural and uncontrived. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed and then some. We would definitely stay there again.

Ironman Weekend

Incredibly relaxing! This home was close enough to Waco to be convenient but far enough away to feel connected to nature. My son had a blast playing wandering around the property and it was the perfect place to unwind and relax after my Ironman. The owner was very communicative and friendly. My husband and I were so impressed with the quality and care of the property.
