Ironman Waco
This was the perfect property for our family. It was my husband’s first Ironman 70.3 and the home allowed him a great place to prep and recover from his successful race. It was really clean and Linda was wonderfully responsive. The home was cozy and well appointed. The beds were very comfortable. All around it was an excellent place for us. Thank you, Linda!

Perfect little getaway spot
My family and I needed a relaxing getaway! The house was perfect. We had plenty of space and enjoyed the river and fire pit. We grilled both nights and enjoyed the deck. The living room was very cozy. The sun room was fun and comfortable. We all slept well! We enjoyed watching the rain through the windows on our last day; it was very relaxing. We hope to return soon! Thank you!

Wonderful stay!
What a great stay for our family! This retreat is a sweet, cozy cottage right on the banks of the Brazos River. It’s only a few miles from Waco but you’ll feel miles away from the world! The house had everything possible you could need. It is well appointed and was comfortable sleeping for 6. There is great outdoor space with a fire pit and chairs right by the river. We will definitely look to stay here again!

Life on the River
We really enjoyed the "River Retreat" It was a cozy home! Although it was a wet kind of soggy weekend ... My family got to enjoy quality time together. We sat around the dinner table and reminisced about family memories, watched a couple of movies together and my youngest grand-daughter taught us a card game her teacher taught her. That was alot of fun! Our Family Reunion we attended was GREAT!! Linda, We lost power at the house during the storm, in fact the whole neighborhood did on Sunday morning from 1 a.m. to about 5:00 a.m. It was so dark!!! KInd of eerie...It stayed on for a couple of hours and we lost it again. We packed with no electricity. It stayed off up until we left. Hope everything is good now.

Little Hidden Gem! 💎
This property is Amazing, its out of the way, very quiet beautiful river scenery. Great accomodations, everything was as described. Comfortable, clean, great improvements, I've stayed in a bunch of Vrbos this is one of my new favorites. Check and communications couldn't have been easier. The only negative I can put down is that we had to leave.! We're planning to come back. Thank y'all for a wonderful stay🙏🙌❤️

Clean, Comfortable, Cozy in the Country
We were pleased to stay here during the eclipse in April. The home is setup with all the amenities needed for a convenient stay, and our host was very gracious and friendly. While we felt out in the country, everything was close enough to be a convenient 15-20 minute drive. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Lovely get away
Love the amount of beds and space the little place provides. We couldn't lock our unlock the door when leaving but the neighborhood is very safe. Plenty of towels and equipment needed to have a good time. My kids (5 girls ) enjoyed the fire pit but disappointed in only 2 mirrors to get dressed. (GO FIGURE LOL) wife was kind of poor iff with a smell when first entering but it went away once we stayed a little. Overall had a great time and thank you for the opportunity to stay. PS They think the shower is amazing 😁

Peaceful & Refreshing
This was one of the most peaceful, rejuvenating places we’ve ever stayed! The house is beautiful and so tastefully done, with thoughtful details throughout. But the location on the river and surrounding nature was what was so soothing to our souls! Coffee on the porch in the coolness of early fall? A little piece of Heaven on earth! Will definitely be back when we can spend more time doing just that!

Hidden Gem
We have stayed here multiple times over the last few years. Nothing can beat the private access to the river and fire pit area overlooking the water. Our children (ages 9–18) beg to come here and fish every year! The yard is huge and perfect for games. The house interior and back porch are both so peaceful.

We spent 3 nights but were not around much during the day. Would have enjoyed more relaxing time on the porch or along the river. Seems like a good spot for a small family reunion gathering.
