Bring your own kayak and launch in the Brazos River. (We do not have a dock to launch from so the bank can be muddy).

Pet Policy: Only dogs approved by Owner are allowed.

Propane BBQ grill provided.

The house is accessed by a private road through gated private property.

Wonderful Private Retreat with nature as our host

We returned to the Brazos Ranch Log Home because it has it all that we enjoy most: quiet, private, surrounded by nature, and fishing and hiking on the property. Plus, all that that the City of Waco has to offer close by. Plus, if you’re so inclined the owners offer horse back riding on the ranch.

This was the best VRBO cabin we've ever stayed at. We celebrated my mother's 80th birthday here with family. It was in a perfect location in the woods, near a scenic pond. The cabin was beautiful (with the appearance of being very newly built). The rocking chairs on the front porch was enjoyed by all. We would be interested in returning again.
