What an amazing place to stay for a large group. It has everything you need, no need to really even go into town. It’s so peaceful and quiet. Carolyn and Marc were amazing hosts. We had so much fun meeting them and they completely took care of us. You can’t go wrong staying at their house.

This place is absolutely amazing. Check-in was quick and easy. The host was there to give me a walk thru and instructions for the pool/hot tub. We had everything needed in the kitchen for cooking.

Waco Surf/Family Reunion

We had a fantastic stay at this property. It was very clean and everything was as listed in the description online. My siblings, our spouses and some of our adult children visited along with our parents that are in their 80’s. The property all being one level made access for our parents very easy. The porch overlooking the pool was the perfect place in the shade for them to watch all the goings on. Carolyn was quick to respond to questions before and during the trip. We are looking at booking again next year!

NM Ranch Staycation

Wow! Impressed, to say the least! The Scott’s, whom we met upon arrival, are a class act with a dollop of southern hospitality! These people were so kind, attentive, but also very respectful with your time and were not intrusive at all. This home is gorgeous! The pictures just don’t give it justification, truly! This property is a true gem! Great job with this beautiful home and thank you for sharing it with our family! We got to make so many memories! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Can’t wait to see you all again!

NeedMore Land & Cattle, but lots of R&R

Very relaxing time at NM Ranch. Convenient to Waco but away enough to be private and peacefully quiet. Lots of room and a well appointed home. Big kitchen and pool area are made for entertaining.
