Love the amount of beds and space the little place provides. We couldn't lock our unlock the door when leaving but the neighborhood is very safe. Plenty of towels and equipment needed to have a good time. My kids (5 girls ) enjoyed the fire pit but disappointed in only 2 mirrors to get dressed. (GO FIGURE LOL) wife was kind of poor iff with a smell when first entering but it went away once we stayed a little. Overall had a great time and thank you for the opportunity to stay. PS They think the shower is amazing 😁

This was one of the most peaceful, rejuvenating places we’ve ever stayed! The house is beautiful and so tastefully done, with thoughtful details throughout. But the location on the river and surrounding nature was what was so soothing to our souls! Coffee on the porch in the coolness of early fall? A little piece of Heaven on earth! Will definitely be back when we can spend more time doing just that!

We have stayed here multiple times over the last few years. Nothing can beat the private access to the river and fire pit area overlooking the water. Our children (ages 9–18) beg to come here and fish every year! The yard is huge and perfect for games. The house interior and back porch are both so peaceful.

We spent 3 nights but were not around much during the day. Would have enjoyed more relaxing time on the porch or along the river. Seems like a good spot for a small family reunion gathering.

My daughter wanted to go to the Silos fot her 50 Birthday so I started looking for a cute small cottage on VRBO. Was very happy to find The River Retreat. The cottage was Adorable, very Clean, Comfortable Furniture & Beds. The glassed in porch Awesome, I actually loved sleeping on the bed out there my daughters tried to get me to sleep in one of the adorable bedrooms but I said No Way I really loved that area. We sat down by the river, enjoyed relaxing on comfortable back screened porch. Loved that it was located just a short drive from great restaurants and shopping and only 13 miles from the Silos. My 2 daughers and I were Very Comfortable and we fell in Love with this Charming and Very Comfortable lil Retreat❣ We want to go back to just relax and soak up the charm and let all the stress flow on by like the water of the river. Thank You Linda and God Bless You for sharing The River Retreat, It was truly a Blessing to us. Sincere Thanks Pamela McK

Nice place but description a bit lacking

Nice place but description a bit lacking

The place was very clean and updated with nice countertops, flooring, and bathroom, new plush towels, water in the fridge, etc. it would have ben nice to have a toaster it toaster oven. There were two challenges. Not enough light in the living room to be able to read and very spotty internet in the house. Walking outdoors was better internet connectivity. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Week in Waco

We stayed here while my daughter went to Baylor orientation. It took quite a bit longer to get to Baylor than anticipated. The property was clean, kitchen had just what we needed for a week of light cooking and the AC worked great! The host was very responsive to messages and extremely polite. Our phones did not work well most of the time there and the WiFi is sketchy. It made it difficult to plan our days prior to leaving in the mornings and the teenagers were less than thrilled. The River access was not what we thought it would be from the picture. The sun porch was nice for early rising parents to drink coffee while teenagers slept in. No one in my family was brave enough to use the bed in there overnight as there are no shades on the windows that surround bed.

We were there to attend a funeral and hotels cost just as much as the VRBO, so we chose to have our own home and were glad we did.

Linda is the ultimate hostess of this beautiful place. She is attentive to all your needs and has already anticipated what some of your needs might be. We stayed here for our daughter’s college graduation. It could not have suited our needs any better! She even had a congratulations cookie cake when we arrived. We definitely recommend staying here! Thank you so much, Linda!!

The river retreat has an elegant, yet cozy feel - beautifully decorated with many thoughtful details. The river access was perfect for our fishermen and we ladies enjoyed hunting for fossils in the river, reading next to the river and fire pit. The pictures of the patio don’t do it justice - it’s like an additional living room/den - my daughter slept in the bed there and loved it. The owners were fantastic - we had one tiny hiccup and Linda immediately resolved it and was so very sweet. Highly recommend this charming cottage on the river. ❤️ We will be back!

If you want a place you’re sure to visit again…

this is your spot. The place gives the illusion of being secluded without actually being secluded, and is a quick 20ish minute drive to Waco. I have been utilizing vacation rentals through Homeaway and VRBO for 14 years, and this is one of the most accurate listings I’ve had. The place itself was spotless, and even the chairs down at the fire pit were clean. I loved the mixture of old farmhouse charm mixed with updates. The owner is a stone’s throw away if needed, but nothing was needed. Plenty of outdoor space to sit and be in nature. If we could buy this place, we would! We will definitely be back!
