We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Brazos River Retreat. The setup was perfect for our family group of 6...us grandparents and daughter's family with 2 boys. The backyard was so peaceful and relaxing with a lovely view of the river and beautiful sunsets. There were plenty of comfy chairs on and off the nice deck. The boys even went fishing from the dock. The house was well supplied and comfortable. The decor was delightful with the extra special touch to make it special. There were fun games and puzzles available and the location was convenient to our activities in Waco. We loved it! Highly recommend.
