May 10, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Graduation Weekend We rented the boathouse for our family for my daughter’s graduation from Baylor. It was perfect because it’s close enough to Waco but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Our family enjoys fishing and camping, so this location was perfect!! There are so many things to do at the ranch, everyone was entertained all weekend. The staff was so helpful and friendly! ##### Jennifer H.
