Florence Family Farmhouse Retreat
RETREAT! RETREAT! Retreat from your busy life and reserve this AMAZING place!!! No matter if you are inside or outside, every square inch of this sanctuary is stunning. Wonderfully designed, this space takes the comfortable, relaxed farmhouse style and adds a modern freshness. This is a SWEET RETREAT!!!
This large 3,581 sq. ft. classic farmhouse on a secluded 8.85 acres lot has everything you need for family gatherings, small church groups, scrapbooking groups or old friends hanging out. Each space is uniquely furnished with special touches to provide guests with comfort & a style reminiscent of the simple country life. This beautiful home offers two living areas, a fully stocked kitchen ready for a gourmet meal, and a walk-in shower in the master. We also offer starter coffee, creamer, sweeteners and we supply shampoo, conditioner and body soap in each bathroom.
Outdoor amenities include a huge kid’s playground, a gigantic fire pit area, hot tub and a very long covered front porch with 4 wooden rockers. The backyard patio has a large teak table with 12 chairs. We also have 2 outside swings, a picnic table, a Weber charcoal grill and gas grill.
Our farm is conveniently located approximately 15 to 20 minutes from the following popular destinations: McLane Stadium, Baylor University, The Silos, Downtown Waco, Cameron Park, Cameron Park Zoo, Hawaiian Falls, Waco National Monument, and Slow Rise pizza on the Brazos River. We are just 6 minutes from both Homestead Heritage and I 35. We are 25 minutes from Waco Surf.

Guest will have access to the entire home except for a few owner’s locked off closets.

Three of the bunk beds have full size beds for the bottom bed.
King beds have adjustable mattresses with the ability to raise & lower the head of the bed.
Guest must bring their own wood to burn in outdoor pit. We do stack fallen limbs but cannot guaranty wood will be available. Please check with McLennan County to verify if burn ban is in place before starting a fire.

The Directv Choice™ package provides over 200+ channels and 85+ HD channels. In addition to these channels, guests have access to NFL Sunday Ticket, regional sports channels, local channels, and the ability to record shows to watch at a later time.
