Great rental!

This was the perfect rental for our family of 6. Not too far outside Waco, quiet neighborhood, clean, beautiful, on the river with options to enjoy it. We had everything we needed while there. Great comfy touches like cozy blankets, games, and snacks.

Heritage homestead conference.

We had a pleasant stay. The house was at a great location. It was very beautiful beside the water and the outside. For me, the windows could have been cleaner. That was one downer, but maybe that is just me. But other than that, it was a great stay.

Excellent Family Vacation Spot

My husband, two kids and their families stayed over Easter weekend and it was fabulous. The house was very roomy and comfortable. The outside space had an awesome deck with lots of seating. The yard as huge and there were games in the shed to play with. We also swam off the dock. The weather was perfect so we spent a lot of time outside. Would definitely rent again.

Girls weekend

Great waterfront spot! Very clean and just what we were looking for. Loved the patio for morning coffee and evening sunsets. Neighbor’s dog was the only complaint waking us up very early but that can’t always be helped by owner.

Family Yearly Summer Vacation

Beautiful, cozy and welcoming home. The backyard and dock were absolutely breathtaking and perfect! Days of fishing with my boys, their girlfriends and hubby were just right. The deck was perfect for evening dinners and we enjoyed watching the rain pour from there. The whole place made it so hard to leave. Peaceful, beautiful and just right for our family. Hosts were so kind. Thank you for the M&M’s!! Cute little detail.

Wonderful Riverfront Getaway

We recently spent an amazing three-day stay at this Vrbo vacation rental over Memorial Day weekend, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The property is right on the river, providing beautiful views and easy access to water activities. We spent most of our time simply relaxing in the river. The peaceful and scenic environment made for a truly memorable holiday. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home. The spacious layout and modern amenities made our stay incredibly comfortable. A special thank you to the owners for their exceptional hospitality. They went above and beyond by taking in our groceries when they were delivered earlier than expected. This thoughtful gesture made our arrival stress-free and allowed us to dive right into our vacation. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable riverfront retreat. We can't wait to return!

Absolutely perfect

This place is AMAZING. Perfect place to have loved ones gather or just relax by yourself. The check in process was so easy, with smart coded lock. House was warm and welcoming upon entrance. The furnishings were warm, comfortable and so stylish. Thoughtful touches of games and blankets were available as well to make our stay more warm and entertaining. Outdoor was unbelievable. The covered patio, bbq and seating was beyond ample and accommodating. The view of the River was beautiful. The grounds were so perfect for playing, slip n slides and more. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you M&M. You helped make our father's day that included 4 generations, absolutely perfect!

Waco

It was a beautiful property, but all the rain from the previous day prevented us from enjoying the outdoors which was a bit disappointing but that’s Mother Nature. The dock was under water, the river was flowing too fast and the cushions in the bin were soaked, so we spent the day in Waco instead and enjoyed our time. The inside of the house was nicely decorated. We enjoyed the large dining room table for games. The beds were a little hard for our liking and we thought the room with the bunk beds had 2 twins and a queen but it was one twin above the queen. Since we were all adults, the shortest one chose the couch instead of climbing the ladder to the top bunk so it all worked out. M&Ms were a nice treat!
