Creatively Colorful & Cozy Cabin on the Brazos
This one acre retreat is nestled along the banks of the Brazos River and offers both a beautifully restored 1962 Airstream as well as a character filled cabin.
Waco Vacation Rentals manages the property and is available to respond to any questions you have about the property or the check in process. You will be emailed a digital welcome LINK with area information 7 days before your stay, complete with popular places to see, favorite restaurants and things to do in Waco.
On the day of your arrival, you will receive a TEXT message and an EMAIL with access information at 1:00 pm Central Time for your vacation rental. This is self check in property at 3 p.m or after.
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.

** Fishing is allowed, possible fish in the Brazos are channel
blue, flathead catfish; smallmouth buffalo; common carp; largemouth bass; white bass; and crappie.**
**SWIMMING IS NOT ALLOWED!!
The Brazos River is surrounded by agriculture farm land & dairies. As this runoff goes to the Brazos River which causes the water to be brown, this can create bacteria in the water. Accidentally ingesting the water could be unsafe. Please observe our NO SWIMMING policy. Recently there have been multiple alligator sitings in the Brazos. DO NOT GET IN THE WATER!
