    Bring your own kayak and launch in the Brazos River. (We do not have a dock to launch from so the bank can be muddy).

    House guests get a 15% discount for a guided horseback ride on the ranch.

    Pet Policy: Only dogs approved by Owner are allowed.

    Propane BBQ grill provided.

Great tucked away cabin, close to Waco but feels miles away. Fishing was great on the property and hiking trails led to amazing views. House was clean and comfortable.

Great Stay!

Amazing little cabin in an area that feels secluded but is actually close to town. Great walking trails with a short hike to a beautiful overlook spot to watch the sunset. A little gem!

Wonderful Private Retreat with nature as our host

We returned to the Brazos Ranch Log Home because it has it all that we enjoy most: quiet, private, surrounded by nature, and fishing and hiking on the property. Plus, all that that the City of Waco has to offer close by. Plus, if you’re so inclined the owners offer horse back riding on the ranch.

This was the best VRBO cabin we've ever stayed at. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday here with family. It was in a perfect location in the woods, near a scenic pond. The cabin was beautiful (with the appearance of being very newly built). The rocking chairs on the front porch was enjoyed by all. We would be interested in returning again.

The cabin house was perfect for our getaway. We wanted something quiet and away from others. This place was perfect! Secluded and hidden by so many trees, the peacefulness and scenery was just absolutely beautiful. Would love to stay here again and again!

Beautiful ranch cabin getaway

Breathtaking cabin located on the quiet ranch land. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs, big dining room table to gather. And we happily took part in the horseback riding that the ranch had to offer. Will definitely return.

We loved our weekend here!

This home is even more beautiful than the listing. It is impeccably clean and the beds are so comfortable. We booked a trail ride, fished for large mouth bass in the pond and hiked the beautiful property. A fantastic restaurant is just down the road. The Browns are such nice people. Correspondence was quick and friendly.

Amazing stay in quiet cabin

Everything about it was pitch perfect. We loved staying in such a quiet and beautiful setting. It is still close enough to do anything in Waco. The property is walking distance to the Homestead Heritage and we were there during the sorghum festival. I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

Very Private and Quiet

Although the cabin is a bit difficult to find, once you arrive it is beyond worth the trouble. Its been a long time since I was able to fall asleep in total silence. Wonder location and will be a common stay for us as we visit our daughter at Baylor.

Last Minute Stay

It was my 40th birthday and we were planning on just grabbing a hotel but on our way we checked here. So glad we did! What an amazing property and stay! Quiet and clean. 15 stars. Great communication. Love the homestead community and the Waffle Co! Great communication with host as well as we left a few things and they are coordinating getting it to us. So nice! Will stay again if in the area!

You won’t be disappointed

This cabin was located very close to Waco and the property is beautiful. It was large enough for several adults with a good size kitchen, comfy beds, and very clean. The Brazos ranch also offers horseback riding and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip. Just adjacent to the cabin is a restaurant and craft nonprofit campus that was interesting. The area was quiet and peaceful.

Wonderful place

This place was amazing so peaceful but near all you'd want to visit. Fished in the pond and caught 4 nice size bass (released all). Beds super comfy, house was very clean and well stocked. Saw a bunch of horses passing by the house on the last day which was AMAZING. Wonderful family get away ahead of the holidays. Hosts were quick to answer all questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
