My family of 6 loved our stay at this river house. It was very clean, had everything we needed plus more, and the river views are priceless. Very convenient for us to get to the Baylor game, but it was hard to leave those views! We will be back!

Very nice house on the Brazos river! Stayed there for two nights and we brought our pontoon boat and sailed to McLane Stadium for a Baylor football game. Will be staying there again...

We loved this property, such a beautiful location on the Brazos. My wife and I shared the home with our daughter, her husband and our 6 yr old granddaughter. Every morning was an hour, or so, fishing off the dock and catching her sized fish over and over. She loved that time. The neighborhood is cozy and quiet. The travel to any of the locations we visited, Magnolia, Heritage, Zoo and museums was 15 minutes, or less. Great place to stay in Waco!

Chalk Bluff was the perfect home for a family get together. Plenty of space indoors and out for everyone. With a HUGE back yard and pier access to the river, we couldn't have asked for a more peaceful location. The hosts were great! They responded to our texts quickly and answered all of our questions. I highly recommend that you book a stay here!

The house was clean and plenty big for our group of the 5. Being on the river with a beautiful back yard and a porch that looks onto the river was amazing. It’s very likely we will stay there again.
