Beautiful property and location - need more cleaning
We enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful and very quiet. We enjoyed the little lake and trails surrounding the property. Downside is that it needs better cleaning. We found a "lot" of hair in the bathrooms before we even used it. The dryer's filter wasn't cleaned for a looong time and the kitchen equipment also could use a good scrub.

Wonderful place
This place was amazing so peaceful but near all you'd want to visit. Fished in the pond and caught 4 nice size bass (released all). Beds super comfy, house was very clean and well stocked. Saw a bunch of horses passing by the house on the last day which was AMAZING. Wonderful family get away ahead of the holidays. Hosts were quick to answer all questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

You won’t be disappointed
This cabin was located very close to Waco and the property is beautiful. It was large enough for several adults with a good size kitchen, comfy beds, and very clean. The Brazos ranch also offers horseback riding and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Just adjacent to the cabin is a restaurant and craft nonprofit campus that was interesting. The area was quiet and peaceful.
