About this house rental

Magnolia Ranch Waco offers complete and total relaxation for those seeking to reconnect with nature and find inner peace.

Nestled in China Spring, Texas, near Waco, Baylor University, and the Magnolia Silos, this delightful 42.28-acre estate boasts 5 charming bedrooms, each offering a unique sleeping experience with a mix of beds and bunk beds. For those who need a family-style place to enjoy, please take a look at the sleeping arrangements in the pictures to ensure the accommodations meet your specific comfort needs based on the number of people accompanying you. With 4.5 bathrooms equipped with tankless water heaters for refreshing showers, guests can start their day exploring and enjoying nature, then feel completely rejuvenated knowing they won't have to worry about running out of hot water.

The Magnolia Ranch estate encapsulates a main house/conference center and a 1.5-story tiny home with spectacular views of the water, land, and sky! We have 2 other tiny homes that are not currently available, but may be in the future.

Amenities include a basketball court, swimming pool, 4 lakes, a stocked fish pond, a shooting range (with permission), water sports, and a fire pit for your complete enjoyment and serenity.

All of our amenities were created and designed with you in mind. We want to give you a 5 Star experience, only because they don't go up to 10!

We have tried to think of everything you need to enjoy the property. From bath towels and shampoo to our blow torch fire starter, our amenities help you relax and enjoy your stay. Even to the extent of having a professional-grade telescope with very little ambient light at the Ranch to interfere with stargazing, all for your viewing pleasure.

Magnolia Ranch is perfect for events such as weddings, conferences, as well as church and family gatherings, etc.

For those wanting special events such as weddings, deer lease, etc., there is a price difference based on what you request and desire. Just let us know the specifics of what you want to create, and we can get you a price based on your requirements and our insurance coverage.

For those specifically interested in hosting a wedding, there are so many specifics, we will send you a personalized items list to go over.

For those specifically interested in deer and/or duck hunting at Magnolia Ranch during deer and duck season in Texas, there are solar-powered deer feeders and a $3,500 camouflage deer stand already in place and available for use, but will need to be negotiated separately.

Regardless of your purpose or use, we aim to ensure you have the best possible stay.

We want to make you aware of a couple of things specific to Magnolia Ranch Waco. We have 2 donkeys and a goat on the property. They are our family, so don't shoot one of them thinking it's a deer. We will ask you to get your eyes checked and visibly point out the difference if you are not familiar with them and need clarification :)

As for children, we love them. We believe in helping them explore, but also do it in a way that is a learning experience and increases their awe of what God has created.

We encourage family interaction because when all is said and done, building memories is often what we are left with in this world.

If, by chance, your young one does something that is outside the norm of acceptable behavior, we will give them 2 Energy Drinks and a puppy for your ride home. :)

If they do something egregious to the property or animals, and that goes for adults too, we reserve the right to talk with you about it and find a resolution that is acceptable. If restitution is required, we ask you to understand that Magnolia Ranch is here for your enjoyment and those who come after you as well. We want to maintain it at the highest level of comfort and enjoyment as possible.

We enjoy and love having people experience Magnolia Ranch just like we do.

That pretty much sums it up. Our Casa is su Casa and we look forward to hosting you and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Your hosts,

Drs David and Katherine Tharp

If you’re ready to leave the city life and relax and enjoy a top notch ranch, Magnolia Ranch is the place to hang! Pack your boots, as there’s a perfect dance floor (minus the sawdust), as soon as you open the front door! Ask Alexa to play Chris Stapleton and enjoy this one of a kind ranch homes! I’m convinced that it could have been one of Chip & Joanna Gaines first homes for their family! The host was truly a “top notch” host and even met us there when we arrived, to orient us with home and surroundings. Top of the line kitchen appliances and first time we’ve ever seen an air fryer in a rental kitchen! The grands loved feeding the friendly Highland cows, donkeys and goat, along with swimming, not to mention the wall of 3 TVs. It was fantastic as our grands played their video games while we cheered on the Knicks winning NBA Championship!! It was furnished with high end furniture! Not only does it sleep 15, it will seat many more people! A bit too warm outside to enjoy the enormous basketball court. The fire pit was for sure a ranch size one, with at least 8-10 ole fashioned wooden rocking chairs. Outdoor, covered picnic table and bench, guessing the size of 4 average tables. Celebrated my husband’s 75th with family coming from Austin & Dallas area. Looking forward to going back!

We had the absolute best experience celebrating graduation at this beautiful property in Waco! The tiny houses were charming, clean, and such a unique setup for hosting family and friends. The entire property was peaceful and well-maintained, with gorgeous ponds, a basketball court, and a swimming pool that made the weekend feel like a private retreat. What truly made the experience exceptional was the owner. Communication was outstanding from beginning to end — responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our stay special. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, and our family was able to relax and fully enjoy such an important milestone together. If you are looking for the perfect place for a graduation celebration, family gathering, or weekend getaway, I cannot recommend this property enough. We made memories here that we will cherish forever!
