Sit at the kitchen table and watch the birds and wild deer, or relax in the outside rockers and breathe in the country air and enjoy just the quiet. We’re 35 minutes from Waco, Baylor campus & McClane Stadium, and Chip & Joanna’s The Silo’s. Valley Mills may be small, with Hwy 6 running through the middle, but it has some unique shopping and excellent places to grab a bite or just a cup of coffee. Gatesville, and Clifton are “just around the corner” also. This house is in the country, 5 miles from town, and sits on the northern corner of the Damnrox Ranch, where you may see cows, chickens and an occasional guinea fowl. Although the house only sleeps 4, at Mama’s House kids are always welcome, just bring you bedrolls and sleep on the floor. Additional fees over 4 guest will apply. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -

It is adorable,with a large kitchen, bedroom, and master bath.. Being able to see 3 doe and 2 bucks eating only a 5 feet from where I had my coffee was the best added bonus. This is a nature lovers paradise for sure. ##### Tammy Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wulf L.

The property was just as described. The host went above and beyond with dog treats and friendship bread waiting for us. We had never seen so many deer right up close to the house. Lots of beautiful birds at the feeder and bird bath just outside the breakfast window. Watching the guineafowls come by and feed at the house was very entertaining.
