About this property

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.

This duplex is out in the middle of nowhere and feels very unsafe. However, that was not the only issue. All the towels smelt like cat urine. The water from the bathroom sink smelt like sewage and we were unable to even brush our teeth.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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.

Off the beaten path, well stocked, quiet duplex. Beware that the gps's can be a bit confused by the location. Thanks!

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.

Overall, this was a nice, secluded spot for a getaway with friends. The place was extremely clean and no bad smells, etc! Yay! SO close to Magnolia and also the cute "Homestead" community which we just happened upon. Loved the location! I do have a FEW suggestions for improvement, however: 1) The bottom bunk mattress needs to be replaced. I couldn't sleep on it... felt the mattress springs, and it was way too soft. The sheets were "pilled," thin, and scratchy on that particular bed. So I slept on the top bunk, which was perfect (soft sheets, firm mattress). The other bedroom/bed was fine, my friend said. 2) There is NO tv. I'm not sure if this was mentioned or not in the listing, but it should be. It was actually fine for us to "unplug" and not have a tv, but if you're expecting that, just know this. It'd be nice to have a dvd player and some movies, perhaps, for guests. 3) Please get some lawn chairs for the front or back porch area, so guests can sit outside and enjoy the beautiful views and countryside! :) There was nowhere to sit and enjoy. 4) CHECK ahead to see if there is a race when you plan to stay. We were there on a Friday night and there was a LOUD motor race going on nearby until 11:30pm. It was hard to sleep even with earplugs until that ended. Kind of ruined the country vibe for us. 5) Sofa/futon isn't very comfortable either. If those improvements are made, I'd give this place 4-5 stars for sure! We would stay here again.

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!
