Cozy A-Frame · Private Hot Tub, 30 min to Waco

Our A-Frame is designed for two. If you're travelling with a small child and are willing to squeeze, a pack-n-play will technically fit - just let us know!

INSIDE
A king bed situated under the oversized A-frame peak window. A kitchenette with a coffee maker, microwave, toaster, dishes, and flatware. Plus an indoor shower, air purifier, white noise machine, a Roku TV, and HVAC for year-round comfort.

OUTSIDE
A private deck with a covered outdoor soaking tub. A private hot tub set just below the deck under the wide-open Texas sky. A Solo Stove fire pit (subject to county burn bans). And an outdoor grill (the propane's on us).

STOCKED FOR YOU
Coffee from our favourite roaster here in Texas. Bath products and fresh towels.

AROUND VALLEY MILLS
We love and recommend Valley Mills Vineyard for family-run Texas wine and weekend live music. Helberg Barbecue for the brisket smash burger (chef's kiss!). Olaf's for a lovely ranch-to-table dinner experience. City centre Clifton for antiquing and good eats. And, of course, beloved Waco, just 30 minutes away, for Magnolia Silos and Baylor Bears.

P.S. While this is a new listing, the property has been welcoming guests for years. A kind note from a prior guest of the property...

"This was such a beautiful getaway. So romantic, the inside is absolutely adorable. The king size bed is so comfortable. The soaking tub had an absolute stunning view in the mornings as the birds were chirping and the trains running through town - to hear them was amazing." - Guest from Harker Heights, Texas

We feel deeply honoured to host every guest who stays at The Poppy House. Our hope is that you feel it in every detail of your stay.

A few things to note:

Valley Mills is a charming little town, located where central Texas meets the hill country. It's easy to slow down here - that's why we love it. When you want a bigger day out, Clifton and Waco are great spots to dine and shop.

The Train: Our local train passes through day and night and sounds its horn for about 10 seconds at a time. Most guests embrace it as part of the small-town charm, but the cabin is stocked with earplugs and a sound machine for your comfort.

The Property: Each unit is set to provide peaceful views and plenty of space, but we do have other units across our 11 acres that may be occupied during your stay. The land provides natural separation and privacy, but you may occasionally see or hear others.

Nature & Wildlife: You're staying in the heart of the Texas countryside, which is a big part of the magic here. On 11 wooded acres it's not unusual to meet deer, birds, and the occasional snake, spider, or fire ants. Enjoy them from a respectful distance, keep an eye on little ones, and watch your step after dark.

Security Cameras: Exterior cameras at the entrance and driveway. Outdoor-facing only. They never monitor the interior of any unit or private outdoor spaces like your hot tub or soaking tub.

No pets. Smoke-free property. Only registered guests on the property, message us for any exceptions.
