The indoor and outdoor spaces were perfect for gathering and relaxing. Everything was well equipped. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions and extremely accommodating- offering to leave some of their own family yard games for us to enjoy.
The river at the property location was fairly shallow- less than five feet- but fine for cooling off. The kayak and floats were a nice addition. Though for anyone looking to truly enjoy the water- I highly recommend a day trip to lake Whitney for swimming and cliff jumping… deep, cool, clean water with no entry fee.

Beautiful home by the lake, home feel

Wonderful little house, right on the river. Beautiful backyard and very well kept home. My only dislike was the beds - they were very firm for my taste, but I know that is a very subjective thing, and I have been known to be a bit of a bed snob. Wouldn't keep us from returning if were ever in Waco again.

Beautiful, cozy and welcoming home. The backyard and dock were absolutely breathtaking and perfect! Days of fishing with my boys, their girlfriends and hubby were just right. The deck was perfect for evening dinners and we enjoyed watching the rain pour from there. The whole place made it so hard to leave. Peaceful, beautiful and just right for our family. Hosts were so kind. Thank you for the M&M’s!! Cute little detail.

Absolutely perfect. House & communication

Very good communication, property located in a nice quiet neighborhood. Rear deck overlooking the river is very nice, with tons of seating. Deck down by the water is also nice.
Proximity to downtown, Magnolia, Dr. Pepper Museum, and Baylor University is only 10-15 minutes.
House is well stocked with dishes, linens, etc. Beds are very comfortable, all were very clean. Entire house was very clean, and the A/C works very well. Would stay here again for sure!

The owners keep this house in very good shape. The property has Ana amazing view of the river. The have a great dock to fish and enjoy the river. Beds were very comfy and the house had everything we needed. I strongly suggest staying here. Downtown waco was a very short drive.

It was a beautiful property, but all the rain from the previous day prevented us from enjoying the outdoors which was a bit disappointing but that’s Mother Nature. The dock was under water, the river was flowing too fast and the cushions in the bin were soaked, so we spent the day in Waco instead and enjoyed our time.
The inside of the house was nicely decorated. We enjoyed the large dining room table for games. The beds were a little hard for our liking and we thought the room with the bunk beds had 2 twins and a queen but it was one twin above the queen. Since we were all adults, the shortest one chose the couch instead of climbing the ladder to the top bunk so it all worked out.
M&Ms were a nice treat!

We recently spent an amazing three-day stay at this Vrbo vacation rental over Memorial Day weekend, and it couldn't have been more perfect! The property is right on the river, providing beautiful views and easy access to water activities. We spent most of our time simply relaxing in the river. The peaceful and scenic environment made for a truly memorable holiday.
The house itself was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. It felt like a home away from home. The spacious layout and modern amenities made our stay incredibly comfortable.
A special thank you to the owners for their exceptional hospitality. They went above and beyond by taking in our groceries when they were delivered earlier than expected. This thoughtful gesture made our arrival stress-free and allowed us to dive right into our vacation.
We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable riverfront retreat. We can't wait to return!

This place is AMAZING. Perfect place to have loved ones gather or just relax by yourself.
The check in process was so easy, with smart coded lock. House was warm and welcoming upon entrance. The furnishings were warm, comfortable and so stylish. Thoughtful touches of games and blankets were available as well to make our stay more warm and entertaining.
Outdoor was unbelievable. The covered patio, bbq and seating was beyond ample and accommodating. The view of the River was beautiful. The grounds were so perfect for playing, slip n slides and more.
We could not have asked for a better place to stay. Thank you M&M. You helped make our father's day that included 4 generations, absolutely perfect!
