The space
Escape to wide Texas skies and quiet country living at this spacious private estate just outside Waco. Located near McGregor, Crawford, and Valley Mills, this peaceful setting offers room to relax while still being about 20 minutes from downtown Waco and its top attractions. Spend the day exploring, then return to your own private retreat for sunset views, fresh air, and slower evenings under the stars. Early risers will especially love quiet mornings on the property, where deer are often seen grazing in the pasture as the sun comes up.

The Property
The main house features a large, open kitchen fully equipped for preparing meals together and gathering around the table afterward. With three comfortable bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, there is plenty of space for everyone to spread out and unwind. The bathrooms feel spa-like with walk-in showers and a deep soaking tub, perfect after a long day outdoors. Families will enjoy the children’s loft hangout, and shelves stocked with puzzles and board games provide easy entertainment for all ages.

Just steps away, the separate barn living quarters offer an additional gathering space that guests love. The barn includes sleeping arrangements, pull-out couches, a full kitchen, full bathroom, large TV, and a pool table. It works perfectly for movie nights, game nights, or giving part of your group extra privacy.

Outdoor Highlights

• Large swimming pool with lounge seating
• Pool house with shower and towels provided
• Outdoor seating for evenings and stargazing
• Cornhole, yard volleyball, and basketball hoop
• Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles

Beautiful Property – A Perfect Family Getaway!We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful VRBO! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and even more impressive in person than the photos. The home was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation.One of the highlights was the beautiful pool, which our kids absolutely loved. They spent hours swimming and having fun every day! The property also offered so many activities and amenities that kept everyone entertained throughout our stay, making it the perfect destination for families.The location was great, and we enjoyed both the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to spend quality time together. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and it truly felt like a home away from home.The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and committed to making sure our stay was enjoyable from start to finish.We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and fun-filled getaway. We would love to return in the future!Thank you for sharing your amazing property with us!
