Beautifully decorated, open, spacious and well maintained home! The hosts have thoughtfully stocked the home with all the bells and whistles. All our guests kept complimenting the property and home. Easy drive to Baylor! We loved our stay and wish we would have discovered this property years ago.
We really loved this cute clean property! Traveled to Waco with friends for a Magnolia themed weekend and pickleball! This house was perfect! Highly recommend!

Thank you for visiting! Looking forward to your visiting again!
This girls trip was amazing. We enjoyed the dock, saw all kinds of birds and animals, weathered a severe thunderstorm with 60 MPH winds and enjoyed an amazing sunset. The games provided were great!

Great! So happy you had a nice trip' Hopefully next time the weather is better. Thanks for coming!
We enjoyed our short stay at your home while visiting Baylor University with our two daughters. The home was comfortable, clean, and spacious. The farm animals and pickleball were enjoyed by the kids and adults! Convenient to Baylor, Magnolia, and downtown Waco.
The donkey and goat were a hit with my family, along with the pickle ball court. We had everything we needed for a long weekend stay, the beds were comfortable and the home was spotless. I would highly recommend this property. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Thank you so much for coming! So glad your family enjoyed Sugar, Casper and the pickleball court! Come visit again soon!
We had a weekend with our Adult kids and this place was great. We explored Waco and then had a good place to hangout. It is beautifully decorated and we loved the pickleball court. We did have a miscommunication about a couple items, but the owners were honest and fixed them beyond what we expected. I highly recommend this place!

Beautiful property, plenty of outdoor space for the kids. The pickle all court was a hit! The house was perfect for our group. The kitchen provided everything we needed to prepare our Thanksgiving dinner.
This house will not disappoint you! The pickle ball court was great time. Kids had a fun time petting the donkey and goat. The property manager was very responsive.

Thank you for visiting! Glad you had a great trip!
Loved Stanton Ranch! We played pickleball all day and spent plenty of time feeding the donkey and goat. And, it was a perfect spot to take in the total eclipse!
House was exactly as advertised, plenty of room for 4 adults and 3 teens.
We enjoyed the property after a Spartan OCR in Waco. The goats and donkey were so much fun and let us know when they wanted attention. The pickle ball court was a ton of fun. We enjoyed the back patio where we hung out and grilled.
Great property- nestled back within a cozy group of trees, feels like you’re on your own little retreat. Everything was clean and thought out- we cooked a big birthday dinner for one of our guests and had everything we needed- really a great trip. A small trek into Waco, but worth it. Hope to come back soon!

So glad you had a great trip! Please come back to visits again!
We thoroughly enjoyed the Stanton Ranch. The pickle ball court was a great addition. The animals (2 donkeys & 3 goats) were so much fun! The house was clean & spacious. We loved the decorations. It was close to Waco but far enough away to get the country feel too. We would definitely recommend!
We had a great stay at Stanton Ranch! Pickle ball was icing on the cake. I wouldn’t have minded being a little closer to campus as we were visiting our Bear. It was worth being a few miles away to have everyone under one roof.

Liked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Overall, it was a nice place. The kids loved the pickle ball and the donkeys outside. The house was clean and there was plenty of space for us. But, we were within 15 minutes of canceling because the host did not respond to us or give us check-in instructions. We had to talk to half the population of India to finally get somebody to get a hold of the host to get us the codes and the check-in instructions. The house has all concrete floors and no rugs. So everything echoes and is very loud in the house the more people you get there it can be kind of overwhelming and you can’t hear each other. There were not enough blankets or sheets for the beds in the house. I would probably give it to stars, but my wife liked it better. Because of the interaction, we will probably not use VRBO anymore and use a different service. I was on the phone for an hour with the ““ Indian customer service of VRBO to get the check-in instructions, which is unacceptable. Hopefully the host takes this as constructive criticism because overall the house is nice it is easy to get into town and with just a little bit of tweaking it could really be a nice place.
