Perfect place for the April 2024 Eclipse

I wanted a place in Texas close to the April 8 2024 total eclipse centerline with plenty of clear space to setup telescopes and photography gear to catch the event. Weather was iffy but we got lucky and had a wonderful eclipse-viewing experience! The old farmhouse is clean and very charming. The open kitchen and expandable dining room table can accommodate even larger groups, but for the few of us that stayed the week it was perfect for evening cards & board games. Beds were comfy and bathrooms very clean, with plenty of towels. The back porch is great for sitting & talking around the fire pit. For anyone staying in the front/east bedroom, you may want to bring along a blackout curtain. I'm glad I did, because even with the blinds closed it gets awfully bright in there.

Sisters Weekend

Property was beautiful and the house was exactly as pictured. Everything needed in the kitchen and bathrooms and then some! This property is remote so familiarity with country roads is helpful....the remoteness adds to the ambiance.

Quiet, peaceful

Property had everything we needed. Kitchen was so well stocked and had all the extras like ziplock bags and Tupperware that make things easy. Plenty of firewood for the pit out back. Way out in the country but we liked that.

Why they chose this property

This is your premier location for girls weekend get-togethers and shopping at Magnolia Silos.
Backstory: My wife and I spent 3 years restoring this turn-of-the-century farmhouse located on land that has been in our family since 1848.

- BBQ pit as will as fire pit for s'mores
- Easy access to Waco
