Beautiful place. Immaculately kept!! Beautiful river location!!

Easy check in. Very comfortable beds, loved the full kitchen. Fire pit was very nice. Just beautiful! Thank you!

The property is a beautiful retreat and an absolute gem. The house was beautiful and the scenery that surrounded you was even better. Very well kept and cozy.

We three friends truly loved the home and searching for riddle another visitor has made! If ever in area would cost again!

Great weekend

We spent 3 nights but were not around much during the day. Would have enjoyed more relaxing time on the porch or along the river. Seems like a good spot for a small family reunion gathering.

A delightful, comfortable, well-appointed home with multiple living areas and patios. Well-epuipt kitchen and modern bathroom. Very quiet neighborhood with river view and access. Beautifully decorated with great linens and towels. A charming place for a restful stay with easy access to all Waco has to offer.

Easy, nice, very hospitable.

My daughter wanted to go to the Silos fot her 50 Birthday so I started looking for a cute small cottage on VRBO. Was very happy to find The River Retreat. The cottage was Adorable, very Clean, Comfortable Furniture & Beds. The glassed in porch Awesome, I actually loved sleeping on the bed out there my daughters tried to get me to sleep in one of the adorable bedrooms but I said No Way I really loved that area. We sat down by the river, enjoyed relaxing on comfortable back screened porch. Loved that it was located just a short drive from great restaurants and shopping and only 13 miles from the Silos. My 2 daughers and I were Very Comfortable and we fell in Love with this Charming and Very Comfortable lil Retreat❣ We want to go back to just relax and soak up the charm and let all the stress flow on by like the water of the river. Thank You Linda and God Bless You for sharing The River Retreat, It was truly a Blessing to us. Sincere Thanks Pamela McK

We had a nice & quiet weekend here. The property has 3 great outdoor sitting areas plus a spot down by the river. Kitchen is well stocked. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean.

Very beautifully decorated, clean clean clean, awesome beds, cold a/c, plenty of outdoor areas to sit and enjoy, loved being end of the road, covered parking was a plus. Thank you again!

Property owner canceled my booking 11 minutes after check in time. We were minutes away from the property and were left with nowhere to stay.

The place was very clean and updated with nice countertops, flooring, and bathroom, new plush towels, water in the fridge, etc. it would have ben nice to have a toaster it toaster oven. There were two challenges. Not enough light in the living room to be able to read and very spotty internet in the house. Walking outdoors was better internet connectivity. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here while my daughter went to Baylor orientation. It took quite a bit longer to get to Baylor than anticipated. The property was clean, kitchen had just what we needed for a week of light cooking and the AC worked great! The host was very responsive to messages and extremely polite. Our phones did not work well most of the time there and the WiFi is sketchy. It made it difficult to plan our days prior to leaving in the mornings and the teenagers were less than thrilled. The River access was not what we thought it would be from the picture. The sun porch was nice for early rising parents to drink coffee while teenagers slept in. No one in my family was brave enough to use the bed in there overnight as there are no shades on the windows that surround bed.

We were there to attend a funeral and hotels cost just as much as the VRBO, so we chose to have our own home and were glad we did.

Linda is the ultimate hostess of this beautiful place. She is attentive to all your needs and has already anticipated what some of your needs might be. We stayed here for our daughter’s college graduation. It could not have suited our needs any better! She even had a congratulations cookie cake when we arrived. We definitely recommend staying here! Thank you so much, Linda!!

Can't think of an amenity that was not included. Beautifully decorated and maintained.

Very clean property and we could tell the owner put a lot of thought into their guest's comfort. Beds very comfortable, well stocked essentials. Wi-Fi a little spotty but you are in the country.

House was great Linda was a great hostess

The river retreat has an elegant, yet cozy feel - beautifully decorated with many thoughtful details. The river access was perfect for our fishermen and we ladies enjoyed hunting for fossils in the river, reading next to the river and fire pit. The pictures of the patio don’t do it justice - it’s like an additional living room/den - my daughter slept in the bed there and loved it. The owners were fantastic - we had one tiny hiccup and Linda immediately resolved it and was so very sweet. Highly recommend this charming cottage on the river. ❤️ We will be back!

Our host thought of everything…we hadn’t traveled in years and appreciated it! We enjoyed the firepit by the river…grilling on the deck and slept comfortably…perfect getaway for our family!

Perfect need to check wifi

this is your spot. The place gives the illusion of being secluded without actually being secluded, and is a quick 20ish minute drive to Waco. I have been utilizing vacation rentals through Homeaway and VRBO for 14 years, and this is one of the most accurate listings I’ve had. The place itself was spotless, and even the chairs down at the fire pit were clean. I loved the mixture of old farmhouse charm mixed with updates. The owner is a stone’s throw away if needed, but nothing was needed. Plenty of outdoor space to sit and be in nature. If we could buy this place, we would! We will definitely be back!

We were very pleasantly surprised at the beautiful little cottage. The campfire area was near the river and was a nice treat with the cool weather. We even took a nice stroll on the river. Thank you so much for a fun getaway!
