Delightfully peaceful property! I have to say it was the cleanest and most well-equipped stay, with so many thoughtful touches! The farm fresh eggs made for a delicious breakfast while we sat on the back porch enjoying beautiful mornings. My husband enjoyed the fishing and it was an easy 15 minute drive to Baylor. We loved the donkeys and the longhorns - such an enjoyable stay!

This “hideaway” is well named and well worth a stay. We used it as our home base for excursions into Waco to see the Wooly Mammoth dig site as well as the Dr Pepper Museum and the Texas Ranger Museum. The property is beautiful and the cabin feels more like a home than just a cabin. A great place for bird watching. I saw Killdeers, Kingfishers, Red Bellied Woodpecker, an owl and several other species that I am not smart enough to identify. And as the song goes, “the stars at night are big and bright (clap, clap, clap, clap) deep in the heart of Texas”. If you plan to visit the area, don’t miss this gem!

Amazing location, secluded but just a short drive to Waco. House is clean and modern, with all facilities and amenities for a comfortable stay. Host is communicative and friendly, and we appreciated the personal touches like the welcome manual and notes with suggestions for activities. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay in the countryside.

The cabin was set in a serene pasture with long horn cattle nearby. The ducks around the pond were fun to watch. The bed was comfortable. I highly recommend this rental.

This is our second stay here for our anniversary. I hope we make this an annual habit. We always leave so relaxed after our stay and the fishing was fantastic. My Wife enjoyed sitting in the swing and watching me catch one large bass after another.We recommend Doe’s Hideaway to two of our friends and both will be reserving dates. I think the fishing pictures pushed them over the edge.Fantastic spot to kick back and relax. Highly recommend this home. We didn’t even turn on the TV until the end of the second day.

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.
