The home was stocked well, clean, and perfect for the two of us! Our dogs loved the yard to chase their balls. We loved the quiet mornings surrounded by monarchs and hearing the horses nearby. We canât wait to visit Waco again!
Even though this place is in the country, it isnât far from everything Baylor. It was nice and quiet, and the beds were comfortable. We didnât spend much time hanging out since we were gone all day, but the little coffee nook was nice (and it had seasonal coffees!) Also, the place was well equipped with any need I could think of. We would definitely stay here again. And itâs great that it is dog-friendly.
This duplex is out in the middle of nowhere and feels very unsafe. However, that was not the only issue. All the towels smelt like cat urine. The water from the bathroom sink smelt like sewage and we were unable to even brush our teeth.
We enjoyed our stay. Some days we just stayed in, and others we visited some of the unique places in the Waco area. The bucket list is a nice touch and has some great ideas for places to visit. Would definitely stay here again.
My friend and I ventured out to Waco for my 45th birthday trip. This little house was perfect for our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The location was out in a rural area and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the surrounding area. The house had everything we needed. The host was available and kept me informed off all I needed to know for our trip. I would definitely stay here again
The space was lovely, quiet and clean. I did love going outside and hearing the naying of the neighbor's horses (I couldn't hear from inside). The bed was comfy, and the rental offered everything you could need.
We had a awesome stay. This property was clean and well maintained. Property owner is quick to respond to questions.
The best part of all was how quiet the area is and the location being out in the country! The kids loved visiting the horses by the fence.
It was an easy drive into Waco for whatever we needed to do. Then a quiet relaxing evening when we came home!
Whenever we come back to Waco we will try to book again!
The property was perfect for me. I had to work nights while I was in the area, so having a relaxing quiet place to stay in during the day was important. Itâs a mile or so away from the interstate, so itâs easy to commute to Waco, yet like being in the countryside. I saw roadrunners, Hawks, cottontails and other animals.
We weâre thankful to be closer to our conference and activities at Homestead Heritage.
Our family was very surprised and thankful for how well the air conditioning/HVAC worked. The laundry room being available was so helpful, for guests to store items needed for our week long stay; because it is, a cozy space filled with tools/supplies.
We had a super short girls retreat and only stayed one night but it was the perfect place. Beautiful surroundings and very well maintained. I would definitely return!

Nice secluded spot with a few suggestions...
Overall, this was a nice, secluded spot for a getaway with friends. The place was extremely clean and no bad smells, etc! Yay! SO close to Magnolia and also the cute "Homestead" community which we just happened upon. Loved the location!
I do have a FEW suggestions for improvement, however:
1) The bottom bunk mattress needs to be replaced. I couldn't sleep on it... felt the mattress springs, and it was way too soft. The sheets were "pilled," thin, and scratchy on that particular bed. So I slept on the top bunk, which was perfect (soft sheets, firm mattress).
The other bedroom/bed was fine, my friend said.
2) There is NO tv. I'm not sure if this was mentioned or not in the listing, but it should be. It was actually fine for us to "unplug" and not have a tv, but if you're expecting that, just know this. It'd be nice to have a dvd player and some movies, perhaps, for guests.
3) Please get some lawn chairs for the front or back porch area, so guests can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views and countryside! :) There was nowhere to sit and enjoy.
4) CHECK ahead to see if there is a race when you plan to stay. We were there on a Friday night and there was a LOUD motor race going on nearby until 11:30pm. It was hard to sleep even with earplugs until that ended. Kind of ruined the country vibe for us.
5) Sofa/futon isn't very comfortable either.
If those improvements are made, I'd give this place 4-5 stars for sure! We would stay here again.

Our stay at The Ranch/Echt House was perfect. The property is close to the city but secluded and peaceful for a calm, relaxing stay. The home was clean, well-stocked and quite comfortable. We very much enjoyed our time there and would absolutely return. Thank you!
Quiet hours after 11 pm. See note below for other noise issues.
The "Heart of Texas Speedway" is over 1.5 miles away. They operate March through October. If the weather is just right, the noise can reach this rental with some strength. Their races tend to be on holiday and weekend nights and sometimes do not end until 11:00 pm or midnight. If this will be an issue for your stay, we recommend you check their schedule.
