Doe's Hideaway was fantastic for our stay in the area. Dorothy communicated well to us regarding our stay and entry to the house. The house had more than enough room for my wife and I. The place is spotless and extremely well maintained. The property is majestic. We loved greeting the long horn cows and the donkeys each morning. The birds are amazing too. If you have a chance to stay here don't pass it up. It will not disappoint.

We had a wonderful time with our stay. We were visiting family in Waco so the Doe's Hideaway was far enough away from Waco to enjoy relaxation after a busy day. The stay was in the middle of a severe storm but the stay in the Doe's Hideaway was cozy and peaceful when storms were all around. The Doe's Hideaway will be our home away from home when we are visiting the Waco area.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Tate

Host profile image
We truly love the rural lifestyle and want others to experience the relaxation and beauty that we are blessed to call home. Doe's Hideaway is zin a quiet back area of our family's farm and ranch land, so you have access to view nature and relax in a brand new build with all the modern comforts.

Why they chose this property

We're located on farm and ranch land between the small communities of Hallsburg, Mart, and Riesel, Texas. We're also just a short drive from Marlin and near to Waco and all that it has to offer.

During the Spring we have some of the best bluebonnet patches in the state, and from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve (weather permitting) we have free drive-through Christmas lights around the main farm house a very short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Doe's Hideaway truly is a rural retreat. It's tucked away, quiet, and serene.
