    Wonderful authentic farm house includes the animals! Quiet, not far from Waco, and the host has stocked the house with everything you need - including a welcome bottle of wine! Enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely book again.

    We had a wonderful stay! The place was clean and cozy. Our hosts were friendly and had great communication. Our 2 doodles enjoyed having so much land to explore and saw cows and horses for the 1st time. Will definitely stay here again!

    This is our 2nd stay, it is in close proximity to our grandchildren, so we get to spend more time spoiling them and less time driving back to Waco for a hotel! No details are overlooked, all the comforts of home are provided.

    This was by far the best stay we have ever had! The property was just gorgeous. We loved seeing the animals mosey around and the quietness of farm living. The house had such a homey feel. We will absolutely stay here again if we have the chance. Thank you so much for having us!

    Very comfortable beds! Overall, the inside of the house was clean, warm and welcoming. All of the little things are thought of, lacked for nothing. The outside area could use some clean up, but we plan to stay here at all our future, frequent trips to Gholson!

    We were wanting a chance to relax after the holidays and boy this place fit the need perfectly. It is away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but close enough to anything you need. Nice and quiet with plenty of trees. We enjoyed seeing the cows and horses! Over all it was a perfect place to relax and fresh eggs were great for 1 of our breakfasts.

    The house is larger than it seemed in the online pics. It is very clean & has guest amenities - books, magazines, bottle of wine, sweet snacks, fully loaded kitchen with a waffle maker. The screen in porch is nice in the evening. Nearest surprise is a basket of eggs from their own chickens. Highly recommend. D

    Have stayed there multiple times. Close to the city without all the “hustle and bustle”. Serene and peaceful. Like staying at a relatives’ farm house. Pictures don’t do it justice. Don’t hesitate to book this property. It’s 10/10.
