Walk to the River or Downtown. One block from Cameron Park. 1 Mile to Silos!

The River Run is a boutique and curated bungalow, one block from the fabulous Brazos River walk and entrance to gorgeous Cameron Park and its 20 miles of single track trails. Only a few blocks from downtown eateries, The Silo’s and the zoo, the home is ideally situated in a quiet little transitional neighborhood close to everything. Take a jog in the morning down the Brazos River walk and see the famous Waco Suspension Bridge and get a bite at the many food trucks and small businesses close by. Evening walks by the river reveal lovely views of the water and beautiful animal sculptures line the way - a perfect opportunity for your next selfie:)
The home is so darling, curated and considered for your enjoyment. Two bedrooms and one bath will comfortably house your party and the kitchen is fully stocked and functional with all necessary appliances and cooking utensils, should you desire to stay in.
Relax on the full-width front porch or chill out in the very secluded and fenced off back yard in the red Adirondack chairs, under the string lights.

The house has been a multiple years labor of love for us, as we took it to the studs, and took our time putting it back together. We feel that it is finally ready to release into our vacation rental fleet, and we can’t wait to host you here! The River Run is a perfect home away from home and a launching pad to all things Baylor, Waco and Magnolia.
See you soon!

What's nearby

  • The Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas is a terrific zoo! The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.

Charming bungalow a block from the beautiful river and park. We can to see the silos at Magnolia Market and this rental is only about 1 and 1/2 walkable miles to the Silos. The beds are very comfortable! We enjoyed our stay.

It is in a fantastic location between Cameron Park and downtown Waco. A very short walk for early morning and sunset river strolls. The check in / out process is super easy and the house is always clean on arrival. The kitchen is adequately supplied. The backyard is pleasant space for those slow Texas nights.This was the second time staying at this house and our kids can’t wait to return next year.

Couldn't find bedding for the couch. The shower/ bath faucet was very difficult to operate. The handle kept falling off. We could not find any coasters. There was no ground coffee for the coffee maker and only 8 coffee pods. The beds were very comfortable. The street was very noisy/loud car racing on Saturday night.
