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.

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.

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.

Great vacation

This place is just wonderful. It’s so calming on the front porch, rocking in the chairs, admiring the roses and the lake. Great keurig with k cups and a bottle of wine! The homestead is just up the road and offers a ton. The trail is a nice clean path over to a gear sunset. Loved the horse back riding and Lem was super responsive with my questions. Highly recommend

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.
