Located 5 miles north of the Waco city limits and 10 miles from Baylor University and Magnolia Silos, but feels like you're in a state park. 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). Bring your fishing gear to fish in the river. House guests get a 15% discount for a guided horseback ride on the ranch.

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.
Very clean and well-stocked. Awesome. Very peaceful and restful. We’ve been many times and always enjoy it.! Thank you! Mabel Samples and Judy Daugett daughter.
There isn't enough room in this box for all the good things I have to say about our stay... better than a home away from home it really was everything we expected and then some
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.
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.
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!
