    Great tucked away cabin, close to Waco but feels miles away. Fishing was great on the property and hiking trails led to amazing views. House was clean and comfortable.

    This was the best VRBO cabin we've ever stayed at. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday here with family. It was in a perfect location in the woods, near a scenic pond. The cabin was beautiful (with the appearance of being very newly built). The rocking chairs on the front porch was enjoyed by all. We would be interested in returning again.

    This place is just wonderful. It’s so calming on the front porch, rocking in the chairs, admiring the roses and the lake. Great keurig with k cups and a bottle of wine! The homestead is just up the road and offers a ton. The trail is a nice clean path over to a gear sunset. Loved the horse back riding and Lem was super responsive with my questions. Highly recommend

    This home is even more beautiful than the listing. It is impeccably clean and the beds are so comfortable. We booked a trail ride, fished for large mouth bass in the pond and hiked the beautiful property. A fantastic restaurant is just down the road. The Browns are such nice people. Correspondence was quick and friendly.

    We returned to the Brazos Ranch Log Home because it has it all that we enjoy most: quiet, private, surrounded by nature, and fishing and hiking on the property. Plus, all that that the City of Waco has to offer close by. Plus, if you’re so inclined the owners offer horse back riding on the ranch.

    It was my 40th birthday and we were planning on just grabbing a hotel but on our way we checked here. So glad we did! What an amazing property and stay! Quiet and clean. 15 stars. Great communication. Love the homestead community and the Waffle Co! Great communication with host as well as we left a few things and they are coordinating getting it to us. So nice! Will stay again if in the area!

    Breathtaking cabin located on the quiet ranch land. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs, big dining room table to gather. And we happily took part in the horseback riding that the ranch had to offer. Will definitely return.

    This home is so charming, and pleasant. The beds are comfortable. It has all the mod cons needed. The water pressure is great for showering. The water stayed hot while in the bath, and the front bathroom has a detachable shower head, which I really appreciated. Liquid bath soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided. Laundry detergent and dryer sheets were available too. The home is located down a two(?)mile, very private road, which makes for a quieter, more serene stay. It’s approximately 8 miles off of I-35.Homestead Heritage is on the way to the home. Definitely search HH before going. It will be a wonderfully convenient place to visit, shop, and eat. The Cafe Homestead has wonderful food. No alcohol is served, but one can BYOB of wine, and pay a set up fee. One in our party uses a walker. There is a safe and sturdy ramp for easy accessibility. We loved this place so much that we booked again in May.

    Amazing little cabin in an area that feels secluded but is actually close to town. Great walking trails with a short hike to a beautiful overlook spot to watch the sunset. A little gem!

    Everything about it was pitch perfect. We loved staying in such a quiet and beautiful setting. It is still close enough to do anything in Waco. The property is walking distance to the Homestead Heritage and we were there during the sorghum festival. I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

    Although the cabin is a bit difficult to find, once you arrive it is beyond worth the trouble. Its been a long time since I was able to fall asleep in total silence. Wonder location and will be a common stay for us as we visit our daughter at Baylor.
