Our Stay at the Railway Retreat was perfect for the event we attended at the Texas Motorplex. The house was well-appointed and charming. We enjoyed the cozy place to relax after long days at the racetrack. Kim was incredible to deal with and made our experience even better!

Nice quiet place, minus the trains. If you are a light sleeper you may want to skip this house. They didn’t bother us too much. Plenty of room for all the family.

This was a really cute house. It is a little bit out of the way however it’s a nice little getaway. It was very clean and smelled amazing. The check in and checkout process was very smooth. Just an overall great stay. (There is a railroad right next to it which you can hear throughout the day/night however they do provide ear plugs.)

Matthew’s group was a pleasure to host. All House rules were followed and the house was left clean. I would happily invite Matthew and his group to my home on a return visit to Waxahachie

Awesome

In town for my son's wedding and wanted to stay in a more rural area. This home is far enough out of the city for me but close enough to be convenient to town. It was a very relaxing place even with the trains.The host was perfect and very responsive with any questions you may have. I really did enjoy this place.
