About this property

Walk to the River or Downtown. One block from Cameron Park. 1 Mile to Silos!

The River Run is a boutique and curated bungalow, one block from the fabulous Brazos River walk and entrance to gorgeous Cameron Park and its 20 miles of single track trails. Only a few blocks from downtown eateries, The Silo’s and the zoo, the home is ideally situated in a quiet little transitional neighborhood close to everything. Take a jog in the morning down the Brazos River walk and see the famous Waco Suspension Bridge and get a bite at the many food trucks and small businesses close by. Evening walks by the river reveal lovely views of the water and beautiful animal sculptures line the way - a perfect opportunity for your next selfie:)
The home is so darling, curated and considered for your enjoyment. Two bedrooms and one bath will comfortably house your party and the kitchen is fully stocked and functional with all necessary appliances and cooking utensils, should you desire to stay in.
Relax on the full-width front porch or chill out in the very secluded and fenced off back yard in the red Adirondack chairs, under the string lights.

The house has been a multiple years labor of love for us, as we took it to the studs, and took our time putting it back together. We feel that it is finally ready to release into our vacation rental fleet, and we can’t wait to host you here! The River Run is a perfect home away from home and a launching pad to all things Baylor, Waco and Magnolia.
See you soon!

Loved this house, it was so cute, fully stocked, and spacious! There was a small problem with our original property (which has now been resolved); the host graciously moved us to another upgraded property they had a couple of minutes away. Josh was super quick to respond and make accommodations, 100/10 would stay at one of their properties again!

The house is very nice, neat, and clean. The front door uses an older style metal key that is in a "realtor box." Time to upgrade to a digital entry lock.
Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Mar 2026
Hello, all I have digital boxes on other homes and found the key is the best as a result of over a thousand rentals to guests over the years. I see this set-up in very high-end units on the Florida coast. I’m disappointed I got a 4 star for something I put a lot of thought in for the best compromise of safety and reliability. Take care to all who stay with us and please forgive the key box when you stay here. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions or issues. I try to be very responsive to our valued guests! Safe travels! Josh and Jill
