The vacation house at Brazos Bluffs Ranch is a comfortable and beautiful log house for couples or the whole family who want a quiet get-a-way.

Located 5 miles north of the Waco city limits and 10 miles from Baylor University but feels like you're in a state park.

Guests enjoy fishing, canoeing & kayaking in the Brazos River. We provide Canoes & Kayaks. House guests get a 20% discount for a guided horseback ride on the ranch.

See the photos of the aspen wood ceilings, granite counter tops, American elm wood floors, antler chandelier.

Propane BBQ grill provided!

The house is accessed by a private road through gated private property.

To look at the house you must call for a reservation and meet the owner at the property entrance.

There is not a telephone or TV in the house. Most cell phones have service in the house.

(No smoking on property)

Location Details: Brazos Bluffs Ranch is accessed from Halbert Lane through the Brazos De Dios Farm where the Homestead Heritage Craft Village is located.

This is a short drive to Baylor and the City of Waco.

The map on Yahoo is not correct. See the ranch website's map for directions.

You will need to call us before you come so we can provide directions to our ranch.

Horseback Riding: Brazos Bluffs Stables, LLC offers western horseback rides year-round along the Brazos River and on the rim of the overlooking chalk bluff plus miles of other scenic trails on our ranch. The ride is normally $40 per person but as a house renter you get 20% off!

Horses, tack and helmets are provided.

No experience is necessary.

For your comfort it's best to wear appropriate riding apparel: jeans or riding skirts and closed-toe shoes or riding boots. Most of the horses can carry a maximum of 225 - 250 lbs. up the steep hills. If you will need a larger horse, please mention that when you call for reservations.

River Pavilion: The ranch's 800 sq. ft. screened-in river pavilion and 1,330 sq. ft. deck (35' x 38') overlooking the Brazos River plain is an ideal place for family gatherings and business retreats.

We offer a volleyball net, horseshoe pits and a ping pong table for you to enjoy, along with an outdoor BBQ pit and gas grill for parties of any size.

The kitchen inside the pavilion includes a refrigerator and sink. The pavilion, deck and separate restrooms are all easily handicapped accessible.

This was our second visit to Brazos Bluffs Ranch. The cabin is very comfortable and well kept. We enjoyed canoeing and fishing on the river and hiking to the top of the bluff for fantastic sunsets.

We had a delightful stay at Brazos Bluff Ranch. The "cabin" was charming and nicely furnished. Wonderful beds and linens. We enjoyed the river, the hills, the horseback riding, and bicyling.
We hope to return sometime and will definitely recommend to friends.
We enjoyed seeing all the crafts, the cheese, and the gristmill at the Homestead, and the ice cream!

After weeks of searching for a "cabin on the river", this little gem came across my screen. It was perfect for what we needed-my family stayed two nights, and my husband's family stayed a different two nights. Plenty of room, amenities, "homey" feeling, plenty to do. River was just down the dirt road-with two canoe's begging to be launched. Although a lot of fishing was done, no catching occured-but the peacefulness and clear blue skies made up for that. My husband went to the large deck on Sat night and caught the annual meteor shower-he said it was amazing! The listing is accurate, location is perfect. I strongly recommend printing the owner's driving directions, even Siri got us lost. The owners are nice and always on hand to help with directions, questions or any need a guest could have. To be honest, we never left the cabin, except to run to the store - the serenity was unbeatable. The memory of coffee in the morning on the front porch will forever remain in my head.

Brazos Bluffs Ranch - Most Excellent!!

  • Submitted: Aug 8, 2012

Family - Uninterrupted!! A definite "must do" for the family or getaway. Just returned and looking at all of our pics and already missing the seclusion, serenity and reconnecting. Canoeing, kayaking, horseback riding, nature hikes and just sitting by the river AND in the river made this trip relaxing and allowed us to unwind. Will highly recommend to family and friends. The exclusivity of the cabin and river made this an ideal trip for our family. Very clean, full kitchen, gas grill and outstanding customer service. Cafe is also a treat and a "must do" even if just passing through. Thank you to the owners who have really put their heart into this place. Looking forward to another trip.
