What an amazing place to stay for a large group. It has everything you need, no need to really even go into town. It’s so peaceful and quiet. Carolyn and Marc were amazing hosts. We had so much fun meeting them and they completely took care of us. You can’t go wrong staying at their house.

This place is absolutely amazing. Check-in was quick and easy. The host was there to give me a walk thru and instructions for the pool/hot tub. We had everything needed in the kitchen for cooking. The house itself is beautiful. The pool and views were awesome. Carolyn and Marc were great hosts. I would definitely give this place a 100/10!!
The property was beautiful and the owner is super friendly and accommodating. Really made it special for my son and his groomsmen. Would 100% recommend!

From the moment we got there we were so impressed. Since it was our anniversary they left us a bottle and wine glasses to celebrate. We had plenty of activities to do while stayed. We will forever remember this trip.

The property is peaceful and relaxing. Very quiet. Spent most of our time outside on the back porch enjoying the breeze and the company. The host was super gracious and make sure I was familiar with all the items in the home before she left.

Thank you so much! We are happy you enjoyed your stay and welcome you back anytime!
We had a fantastic stay at this property. It was very clean and everything was as listed in the description online. My siblings, our spouses and some of our adult children visited along with our parents that are in their 80’s. The property all being one level made access for our parents very easy. The porch overlooking the pool was the perfect place in the shade for them to watch all the goings on. Carolyn was quick to respond to questions before and during the trip. We are looking at booking again next year!
Wow! Impressed, to say the least!
The Scott’s, whom we met upon arrival, are a class act with a dollop of southern hospitality! These people were so kind, attentive, but also very respectful with your time and were not intrusive at all.
This home is gorgeous! The pictures just don’t give it justification, truly! This property is a true gem! Great job with this beautiful home and thank you for sharing it with our family! We got to make so many memories! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Can’t wait to see you all again!
Very relaxing time at NM Ranch. Convenient to Waco but away enough to be private and peacefully quiet. Lots of room and a well appointed home. Big kitchen and pool area are made for entertaining.
My extended family came together to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Baylor. I could not have been happier with the accommodations and location. The home is beautiful and spacious. It was perfect for my large crew. The hosts are gracious and felt like friends upon meeting them.
The weather in this part of Texas is usually hot and humid but somehow the weather at the ranch was magical. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our time on the patio and in the pool. There was a constant breeze that made for delightful outside time.
Thank you Scott family for welcoming us and for helping us to provide a celebration to remember for our sweet graduate.

Thanks Nate! We enjoyed hosting your stay! You are welcome back anytime!
Had a fun time visiting Waco with family from Texas. This is a perfect location to the Silos, Ft. Worth Stockyards, the Ranger Museum and Baylor Campus. The Ranch is spacious, peaceful and the spa/pool outback is AMAZING! The kitchen I equipped with everything you need to make nightly meals and we thoroughly enjoyed the game room with pool table and Foosball table. Mr. and Mrs. Scott are great people and very punctual I’d we had any questions. It honestly felt like home staying on their Ranch. Will definitely be back!!
