Family-friendly holiday rentals in Waco

It was a last minute decision to spend sometime away from home over the weekend & Lacy was super quick in responding and accommodating us at the Tiny house. Place was super clean, perfect size with plenty of place to sit outside with pool and kids play area with swings, that was a great touch. Staff at Gathering Oaks are very helpful and always around incase you need anything. Perfect place for a weekend getaway. But if taking your pet there will be additional $50 charge, which I feel is little higher from what I have seen in the past. :)

We recently stayed at Gathering Oaks Retreat in Crawford, TX, for a couples weekend getaway, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the serene and peaceful surroundings. The retreat is beautifully maintained, and the outdoor games in the courtyard were a delightful addition to our stay. The property truly embodies a relaxing atmosphere. We spent our time taking nature walks, enjoying the fresh air, and simply reconnecting with each other. It felt like a blessing to be in such a tranquil setting, where we could pause and appreciate life's simple pleasures. The attention to detail in making our stay comfortable was evident, and the hostess was very helpful with the instructions for the facility. Whether you're looking for a peaceful escape or a chance to rekindle your relationship, Gathering Oaks Retreat is the perfect destination. We left feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and full of gratitude for the experience. Five stars all the way!!

Overall very satisfied with the tiny house stay. We were the only ones there that weekend so it was very quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub and all the activities on the premise. We can see this place being an awesome choice for a retreat or family reunion. Lacy was a great host and responsive to any questions. Would recommend to anyone.

It was a great little getaway for our whole family.

We had a great time at the property, excellent communication, Melani was very attentive and responded to every message right away. We will definitely be back

Loved that we were off the beaten path but still close enough to get to places in Waco within 15-20 minutes. Peaceful, quiet location where I was able to walk with the dog and not worry about traffic. Everything we could have possibly needed was provided.

Kristen has a nice place to stay. Peaceful out in the country

Great stay for us! Only thing that we had to get used to was no central A/C, but we did just fine with the window units. Overall really liked the stay for what we needed!

Very nice home in a nice neighborhood. Wish there were more neighborhoods like it where we live. Anne was very responsive and flexible, great amenities for our families to stay and visit Waco for the weekend. Highly recommend if you are visiting Waco 👍

Our family of 10 celebrated Thanksgiving here and had the perfect little getaway. The house had everything we needed. The yard was good for our 2 pups, we enjoyed the fit pits, played games with some that were provided, and the table was decorated for fall, perfect setting for our thanking meal. It’s walking distance to many restaurants, coffee shops and shopping. We made some wonderful memories here and would absolutely stay here again with a big group.

Our stay was perfect! The details of the home are lovely, and they considered every aspect of what could possibly be needed or wanted during our stay. Our pups were welcomed, too, and the yard was terrific for them to run, play, and burn some energy. Thank you, Hodson family, for being magnificent hosts.

We had an excellent stay at the Condo. We were able to eat right next door at Portofino’s, and enjoyed everything about our trip. There are lots of different walkable places to visit. The condo was clean and comfortable, and we’d love to visit again one day. Thanks, Chris. We really appreciate it.

The house was very nice! It had everything we needed and had lots of space for everyone. The neighborhood was pretty and felt very safe. Overall we had a great stay. The only negatives were the beds weren’t the most comfortable in the 2 extra rooms. Master bedroom was better. The fence in the backyard didn’t look secure enough for my dog to be let off the leash. It had several places with holes at the bottom she could’ve slipped through and the grass was pretty tall in the back. Otherwise it was a great house, great location, great host, and great stay! Definitely recommend staying here!

We came for a Baylor graduation and Jim’s place was the perfect place to help us celebrate. The lofts will remain at the top of my list to stay again when back in Waco. I highly recommend this to anyone, even those hard to please. Thank you Jim!!!

This property is beautiful inside and out. The cottage is perfectly laid out and very clean. The property is amazing. Gorgeous trees, many different places to relax, clean pool, and a community feeling with other staying on the property are just a few of the things that we enjoyed while staying.

Luis and Kathy were very responsive and friendly. We stayed during the April 2024 eclipse and they made our experience amazing. The cabin was comfortable, the grounds were peaceful and beautiful. Would highly recommend!
