Brazos Bluffs Ranch: Beautiful Home in Rural Setting

Our 300 acre ranch stretches over majestic bluffs and valleys on the Brazos River.
The guest house is a beautiful stone and log home. Located 5 miles north of the Waco city limits and 10 miles from Baylor University and Magnolia Silos, but feels like you're in a state park.
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).
Bring your fishing gear to fish in the river.
House guests get a 15% discount for a guided horseback ride on the ranch.

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.

Most cell phones have a strong signal inside the house.

No smoking on property.

Location Details: Brazos Bluffs Ranch is accessed through the Brazos De Dios Farm where the Homestead Heritage Craft Village is located.

Great Stay!

Amazing little cabin in an area that feels secluded but is actually close to town. Great walking trails with a short hike to a beautiful overlook spot to watch the sunset. A little gem!

We loved our weekend here!

This home is even more beautiful than the listing. It is impeccably clean and the beds are so comfortable. We booked a trail ride, fished for large mouth bass in the pond and hiked the beautiful property. A fantastic restaurant is just down the road. The Browns are such nice people. Correspondence was quick and friendly.

Beautiful ranch cabin getaway

Breathtaking cabin located on the quiet ranch land. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the front porch rocking chairs, big dining room table to gather. And we happily took part in the horseback riding that the ranch had to offer. Will definitely return.

It was my 40th birthday and we were planning on just grabbing a hotel but on our way we checked here. So glad we did! What an amazing property and stay! Quiet and clean. 15 stars. Great communication. Love the homestead community and the Waffle Co! Great communication with host as well as we left a few things and they are coordinating getting it to us. So nice!
