Farmhouse Stay near Waco! Relax with hilltop views, wrap around deck, fire pit!

Welcome to “The Big House” — a hill country retreat blending historic charm with modern comfort. The Big House is privately located, set atop a hill just outside the small town of Valley Mills, Texas. This 4BR/3BA home features a spa-like primary suite, chef’s kitchen with 48” range, and wraparound porch with hilltop views. Set on 10+ acres with a deck, fire pit, and mature oaks, it’s perfect for peaceful escapes, group gatherings, or family retreats.

The Big House features two large living areas and a downstairs primary suite with a king bed and ensuite bathroom—heated floors, soaking tub, and arched walk-in shower. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms: 2 with queen beds, and 1 with a twin bed plus 2 optional floor foam mattresses (great for kids). Three full bathrooms include an upstairs bath with a clawfoot tub, a guest bath with a walk-in shower, and the ensuite with soaking tub and walk-in shower in the primary bedroom.

A large dining table seats 8 comfortably. The custom kitchen is fully stocked with upgraded appliances, custom white-oak cabinetry, dishware, utensils, and a 48” gas range—plus lots of natural light and views. The living room has a large Roku TV ready for your streaming logins. Laundry room with washer/dryer included.

Outdoors, enjoy a wraparound porch, propane grill, covered seating area, back deck, and fire pit. Mature oaks and native wildflowers surround the space.

While The Big House is private, three guest cabins are located toward the base of the property; if you would like more information on renting out the guest cabins for a larger group stay, please contact the host. Please note: A nearby train may pass through occasionally with a short (10–15 sec) horn—most guests find it part of the local charm.

Other details: Pack-n-play provided. An assortment of games, cards, and children’s books also provided.
