The 2 bedroom was the perfect size for our family! Peaceful setting with great outdoor seating and playground that was wonderful for our 3 year old. The check in and out process was easy and the hosts were nice to text and check in on us to see if we needed anything. Easy access to get to Waco but felt more relaxing being outside of town. We would not hesitate to book again and would highly recommend it! ##### Lindsay G. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roxann L.
