5R Ranch offers complete and total relaxation for those seeking to reconnect with nature and find inner peace.

Nestled in China Spring, Texas, near Waco, Baylor University, and the Magnolia Silos, this delightful 42-acre estate boasts 5 charming bedrooms, each offering a unique sleeping experience with a mixure of beds and bunkbeds alike. For those who need a family style place to enjoy, please take a look at the sleeping arranagments in the pictures to ensure the accomodations meet your specific needs for comfort based on the number of people accompanying you. With 5.5 bathrooms equipped with tankless water heaters for refreshing showers, guests can start their day exploring and enjoying God;s beautiful nature and then feeling completely rejuvenated knowing you aren't going to need to worry about running out of hot water.

The 5R Ranch estate encapsultes a main house/conference center and a 1.5 story tiny home with spectacular views of the water, land and sky! We have 2 other tiny homes that are not currently available, but may be in the future.

Amenities include a basketball court, swimming pool, 4 lakes, a stocked fish pond, shooting range (with permission), water sports, and a fire pit for your complete enjoyment and serenity.

All of our amenities were created and designed with you in mind. We want to give you a 5 Star experience, only because they don't go up to 10!

We have tried to think of everything you need to enjoy the property. From bath towels and shampoo to our amenities to help you relax and enjoy your stay. Even to the extent of having a proessional grade telescope with very little ambient light at the Ranch to interfere with star gazing, all for your viewing pleasure.

5R Ranch is perfect for events such weddings, conferences, as well as church and family gatherings, etc.

For those wanting to do special events such as weddings, deer lease, etc., there is a price difference based on what you request and desire. Just let us know the specifics of what you want to create and we can get you a price, based on your requirements and our insurance coverage.

For those specifically interested in hosting a wedding there are so many specifics, we will send you a personalized items list to go over.

For those specifically interested in deer hunting at 5R Ranch during deer season in Texas, there are solar powered deer feeders and a $3,500 camoflauge deer stand already in place and
available for use.

Regardless of your purpose and useage, we desire and want to ensure you have the best stay possible.

We want to make you aware of a couple things specific to 5R Ranch. We have 2 donkeys and a goat on the property. They are our family so don't shoot one of them thinking it's a deer. We will ask you to get your eyes checked and visibly point out the difference in animals if you are from the city and need clarification :)

As for children, we love them. We believe in helping them explore but to also do it in a way that is a learning experience and increases their awe of what God has created.

We encourage family interaction because building memories is often what we are left with in this world, when all is said and done.

If, by chance your young one does something that is outside the norm of acceptable behavior, we will give them 2 Energy Drinks and a puppy for your ride home.

If they do something egregious to the property or animals, and that goes for adults too, we reserve the right to talk with you about it and find a resolution that is acceptable. If restitution is required, we ask you to understand that 5R Ranch is here for your enjoyment and those who come after you as well. We want to maintain it at the highest level of comfort and enjoyment as possible.

If you drink alcohol, we ask you to simply treat our home as if it were your home. It's pretty simple.

This takes us to the last issue but please understand we share this with you with the southern hospitality you deserve. If we get complaints from neighbors or you do something that violates our family trust/rules, we'll give you coffee and send you on your way (along with a bill for any damage that you may have caused). If you somehow foolishly get beligerent, we'll give you the coffee and still be kind, but also have the police waiting for you at our gate.

What it comes down to is this; We enjoy and love having people experience 5R Ranch just like we do.

That pretty much sums it up. Our Casa is su Casa and we look forward to hosting you and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Your hosts,

Drs David and Katherine Tharp
