Quiet and comfortable! And so close to Waco. We loved sitting on the front porch and hearing absolutely nothing! The donkeys are adorable, and so gentle taking their treats, I may have spoiled them. We will definately stay here again when we are in Waco to visit our kids.
Such a cute place, all the amenities we needed, and even some that were a pleasant surprise. We wanted something quiet and out-of-the-way, but also not too terribly far to go do fun stuff and this spot was the perfect combination. We will for sure be back!!
Great little cabin, away from everything. Was so beautiful and peaceful. Beautiful sunset views. Cabin is equipped with everything to make for a great stay. Very clean! Thank you so much for the perfect getaway!
My husband and I just wanted to get away. We ended up being a day late but we loved the location and the quiet. Loved walking outside at night and hearing all chirps.
The cabin was very clean and well equipped with everything needed.
We will definitely go back.
We so enjoyed our stay. Didn’t know what quite to expect. But was pleasantly surprised. It was so well equipped e could have left everything at home but food & clothes. Loved all the little extras. Extremely quiet & peaceful; yet still close to everything we wanted to do. We got to meet the owners who were very nice & down to earth. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will be back.
Very nice and clean cabin, located in the quiet countryside. My sister and I stayed for a weekend away from our hectic lives and really enjoyed our time!
Very cute cabin had everything u need couldn't ask for better my husband and i stayed for our anniversary the host is super nice and accommodating we will come back donkeys are the cutest
Looking to get away and relax but not enuf time for a long vacation. This was the PERFECT PLACE! quaint cabin with a great porch to watch the sunset . Loved everything about it. The bed was Soo comfortable! Donkeys adorable! We will return!
It was awesome! The management was super! They assisted me with my handicap!
The stay was awesome! They made us feel like part of their family! The accommodations were really nice! The best vacation we have had!!!! A really nice time in Waco, TX!!!!
When we come to this area we want to be close to Waco since our daughter is in school there, but we have friends in Temple so this place is right in the middle.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The cabin offered everything that we needed in amenities for a comfortable visit. The hot-tub area was perfect in privacy and a short step away from the cabin. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet with lots of lovely foliage, flowers, butterflies and bunnies. We also took advantage of the winery in Lorena right down the road! If you're looking for an escape to the country life, this is a great place to book!
