About this cabin rental

The property is located right on the Brazos Riverfront just 10 minutes from the heart of Waco giving you the ideal base to see all the sights of the city while still being far enough away to enjoy the peace and quiet this beautiful riverside location provides.

While on the property guests are welcome to fish in the river, explore the property and go for morning walks along the quiet roads.

If you are looking to get out and experience the city, guests can mountain bike or hike in Cameron Park, shop downtown or stroll through the cultural and historic district that extends from Austin Avenue through Elm Avenue and across the mighty Brazos River or take a walk across the historic Suspension Bridge.

Visit the popular Magnolia Market where you can find products used or inspired by Joanna Gaines (of HGTV fame). There are also dozens of home décor and antique shops along with a great Downtown Farmers Market on Saturday mornings.
Visit the Mammoth National Monument where you can see the remains of an actual woolly mammoth, then head to the Texas Ranger Hall of fame where you can walk along the river and admire the huge sculptures on display.

Stop in at the Cameron Park Zoo with over 1700 animals from around the world and for the golf lovers, Cottonwood Creek Golf Course is a must play course and is ranked as one of the top golf courses in Texas.

When it comes time to refuel, stop in for some delicious Texas food at Magnolia Table or Torchy’s Tacos for some delicious Mexican food. Twisted Root make the best burgers while George’s offers highly rated Southern food and is definitely worth a visit.



Guests have private access to the entire cabin, private outdoor shower as well as free Wi-Fi, free parking, complimentary coffee.

The outdoor areas were beautiful. I loved all the outdoor seating and the fireplace. The listing should be updated to reflect that you really can't fish from the property.The airstream exceeded expectations and is such a great addition to the rental.Overall, the property was very clean and the communication when questions arose was excellent. My only constructive feedback is that we were not made aware that the outdoor bathroom would not be accessible. It would have been helpful to know that as we were expecting that to be in working order. In addition, we had to go out and buy coffee as there was not enough for a 2 night stay. I also think an upgrade of linens and pillows would go a long way in improving the comfort of the beds. There were not enough pillows top accomodate the pull out sofa being used but fortunately we brough our own.I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others.

It was a nice little retreat for a short work trip.
8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Only part I didn’t like is there’s no place to fish it’s kinda deceiving in the pictures. When you get upTo the river there’s no clearing there’s a ton a branches right at the waters edge.
8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2025
This is great for something different. It was hard to fish because of mud and there were cobwebs in all the corners of the airstream. When checking out, I spent an hour trying to figure out how to get the laundry going. It was much back and forth through texts, me sending photos and videos, wrong codes and a wrong key. It was very much a hassle in our last hour while trying to pack up and be sure we were checked out by 11am. Needless to say we never got in the laundry room. I hope going forward the checkout instructions are more clear. We were also told to load the dishwasher however there is not one. I think if they clean a little better and clarify the check out, this spot would be ideal
