The cabin was amazing! There were little extra things like shampoo and conditioner and soap. Things that I actually did not expect but was amazing! The over all feeling was very cozy as soon as you walked in!We stayed for our anniversary was a great get away from everything for a weekend! We even got a chance to go Country Spring Vineyard! Would highly recommend for a intimate cozy get away!!!
Great relaxing stay. Not far to town for supplies. The animals at the retreat were so fun to visit everyday. Owners easy to communicate with. Looking forward to another stay.
Perfect for us! I wish we could have enjoyed more time there! But it was just more of a crash pad for us after a Friday night wedding! Slept very comfortably though. Would definitely recommend this for a cute little weekend get away!
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful stay! Cabins and lounging areas are very clean and comfortable! Kelly is very helpful with any of ur needs! The only thing is the property could use a new bbq grill?
With the help of Kelly, I was able too surprise my girlfriend with an engagement ring! Everything went as planned, she said YES!
Thank You, Kelly! Hope too see u next year, for our honeymoon!

Unique quiet country cabins, perfectly appointed tiny home living with extra amenities. Set up beautifully with air conditioning and fans for the Texas summer. We really enjoyed this special property and it was easy to access the highway and visit our family in surrounding towns.
Came to Waco for TAPPS state competition. will never stay in a chain hotel again. Wonderful communication with the host, close to everything we needed and less I35 - what more could you ask for? Will definitely stay again!
My husband and I stayed in one cabin and my parents stayed in another. We loved our time together and also had plenty of personal space. Such a lovely place. We will definitely stay again
A lovely, cozy cabin and Keli was a great host. Everything was as described and Keli was very responsive in assisting me with the check in lockbox. And I loved the wine glasses and fresh fruit!
Would recommend it for a relaxing get-away.
