My husband and I spent Valentine’s Day weekend here. The cabin was cozy and quiet. The bed was so comfortable and the spa area was so relaxing. Kelli was a wonderful host and very responsive to all questions. The fresh eggs were delicious!

Nice country atmosphere and actually really peaceful and pleasant place. My wife and I really enjoyed it our stay.
Very nice and clean cabin, located in the quiet countryside. My sister and I stayed for a weekend away from our hectic lives and really enjoyed our time!
Quiet and comfortable! And so close to Waco. We loved sitting on the front porch and hearing absolutely nothing! The donkeys are adorable, and so gentle taking their treats, I may have spoiled them. We will definately stay here again when we are in Waco to visit our kids.
Very cute cabin had everything u need couldn't ask for better my husband and i stayed for our anniversary the host is super nice and accommodating we will come back donkeys are the cutest
It was awesome! The management was super! They assisted me with my handicap!
The stay was awesome! They made us feel like part of their family! The accommodations were really nice! The best vacation we have had!!!! A really nice time in Waco, TX!!!!
When we come to this area we want to be close to Waco since our daughter is in school there, but we have friends in Temple so this place is right in the middle.
Looking to get away and relax but not enuf time for a long vacation. This was the PERFECT PLACE! quaint cabin with a great porch to watch the sunset . Loved everything about it. The bed was Soo comfortable! Donkeys adorable! We will return!
Such a cute place, all the amenities we needed, and even some that were a pleasant surprise. We wanted something quiet and out-of-the-way, but also not too terribly far to go do fun stuff and this spot was the perfect combination. We will for sure be back!!

Thank you Cassie, we really enjoyed hosting you. We welcome you back anytime. Stay blessed.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The cabin offered everything that we needed in amenities for a comfortable visit. The hot-tub area was perfect in privacy and a short step away from the cabin. The surroundings are peaceful and quiet with lots of lovely foliage, flowers, butterflies and bunnies. We also took advantage of the winery in Lorena right down the road! If you're looking for an escape to the country life, this is a great place to book!
Great little cabin, away from everything. Was so beautiful and peaceful. Beautiful sunset views. Cabin is equipped with everything to make for a great stay. Very clean! Thank you so much for the perfect getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Kelli B
We maintain this retreat "for your enjoyment" We are country, and escaped the city long ago, as we enjoy the peace and solitude of being away from it all. We have lived our dream in the islands and sailed half way around the world, while exploring unique lodging options in beautiful places. Our favorite was our own stateroom on the sailboat, as it was tiny, equipped and had everything we needed for the journey... we offer that to you here.
My native name is Blue Eagle, from my Cherokee heritage (from the Trail of Tears), and on maternal side a Daugher of the Republic of Texas. Very proud 6th generation Native Texan.
Less is more, explore my adorable design and craftsmanship in each cabin. Each cabin is decorated and furnished a little different. San Jacinto, Alamo, Goliad and Lone Star Cabins...
