Echt Ranch - 12 min. from Magnolia Market Silos & Baylor
Our place is 12 min. from Magnolia Market & Baylor's McLane Stadium & 1.5 miles from I-35. You'll love our place because of its quiet location in the country on a working homestead.
This rental is part of a duplex named "Echt House" and this side (right side) of the duplex is named "The Ranch". The other side is named "The Farmhouse" and both are available for larger groups. We ask that all guests be considerate of any guests that may be renting the other side.
We are only 4 miles from the #1 rated restaurant in central Texas -- Cafe' Homestead -- and the Homestead Craft Village. Also, we're only 15 minutes from BSR or Cameron parks.
Its great for couples, business travelers, solo adventurers and families (with kids).
Come and see central Texas!
Note to long term renters: If you intend to book for eight nights or more, we ask that you to contact us prior to booking because we have a short "Terms of Agreement" to sign, other fees and other considerations to mention that make for a better rental experience for all of us. This is especially helpful because of our duplex situation. Thank you for your consideration.

The home was stocked well, clean, and perfect for the two of us! Our dogs loved the yard to chase their balls. We loved the quiet mornings surrounded by monarchs and hearing the horses nearby. We can’t wait to visit Waco again!
Even though this place is in the country, it isn’t far from everything Baylor. It was nice and quiet, and the beds were comfortable. We didn’t spend much time hanging out since we were gone all day, but the little coffee nook was nice (and it had seasonal coffees!) Also, the place was well equipped with any need I could think of. We would definitely stay here again. And it’s great that it is dog-friendly.
Our stay at The Ranch/Echt House was perfect. The property is close to the city but secluded and peaceful for a calm, relaxing stay. The home was clean, well-stocked and quite comfortable. We very much enjoyed our time there and would absolutely return. Thank you!
Our family enjoyed our stay at the Echt Ranch . Very clean, cozy, and inviting. This place was perfect. We had great communication with the owner and would definitely rent again. We cannot say enough great things about this home.
The space was lovely, quiet and clean. I did love going outside and hearing the naying of the neighbor's horses (I couldn't hear from inside). The bed was comfy, and the rental offered everything you could need.
My friend and I ventured out to Waco for my 45th birthday trip. This little house was perfect for our stay. It was clean and comfortable. The location was out in a rural area and we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the surrounding area. The house had everything we needed. The host was available and kept me informed off all I needed to know for our trip. I would definitely stay here again
The property was perfect for me. I had to work nights while I was in the area, so having a relaxing quiet place to stay in during the day was important. It’s a mile or so away from the interstate, so it’s easy to commute to Waco, yet like being in the countryside. I saw roadrunners, Hawks, cottontails and other animals.
We had a awesome stay. This property was clean and well maintained. Property owner is quick to respond to questions.
The best part of all was how quiet the area is and the location being out in the country! The kids loved visiting the horses by the fence.
It was an easy drive into Waco for whatever we needed to do. Then a quiet relaxing evening when we came home!
Whenever we come back to Waco we will try to book again!
We enjoyed our stay. Some days we just stayed in, and others we visited some of the unique places in the Waco area. The bucket list is a nice touch and has some great ideas for places to visit. Would definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay. The duplex is spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. It had everything we needed. They even had a cake pan to bake the birthday cake. We would love to stay there again if we are ever in the area. We loved the quiet, country feel as well as all the beautiful butterflies outside.
Off the beaten path, well stocked, quiet duplex. Beware that the gps's can be a bit confused by the location. Thanks!

Quiet enough for us & close to Homestead Heritage
We we’re thankful to be closer to our conference and activities at Homestead Heritage.
Our family was very surprised and thankful for how well the air conditioning/HVAC worked. The laundry room being available was so helpful, for guests to store items needed for our week long stay; because it is, a cozy space filled with tools/supplies.

Wish it could have lasted longer!
We had a super short girls retreat and only stayed one night but it was the perfect place. Beautiful surroundings and very well maintained. I would definitely return!
