Brazos Riverside Cottage - Family, Fun Getaway

Welcome to Riverside Acres... Kayak on the Brazos River, watch the deer graze, walk through untouched, natural beauty in Central TX. 25 minutes from Magnolia Silos and Baylor.



The space

2 bedrooms with KING Beds... Blow up mattress and pack-n-play available. One bath w/ walk-in shower. Large sectional sofa, plenty of additional seating. Dining table w/ 4 chairs and bar w/4 stools.



I live about 15 minutes from the Brazos Riverside Cottage, so it is very likely we will never meet in person. I will make myself available by phone to offer any assistance during your stay.



The Riverside Acres community was developed in 2020 with 20 small acreage homesites. The community sits along the Brazos River just a few miles from the Lake Whitney Dam.



Deer roam the neighborhood at will and are frequently eating in the front yard of the Cottage.



Feel free to walk around the neighborhood, ride bikes, kayak up/down the river. There is plenty of room for parking. We ask that you only park within the designated parking area.



Note: The wood-burning stove in the living room is inoperable.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a travel crib.

Peaceful

We loved our stay! It was peaceful, relaxing and private. My sons and I really needed a place to completely disconnect and make new memories! The home was perfect, we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the shops in Whitney, everyone was so welcoming. This one is staying on my list.

Peaceful, quiet location

Our stay included day trips to Austin, Waco, and Fort Worth, this house was the perfect location to travel to these destinations. This home was very clean, comfortable master bed and most of all secluded at the end of a road. We were entertained by birds, ducks on the river behind the house and many deer. We would love to return again if we’re ever in this area again.

A wonderful place

A beautiful cabin along the Brazos River to make memories. We had a great time. Our two oldest daughters (7 and 2) absolutely loved exploring the property, and walking down to the river. Our youngest boy (9 months) loved exploring… everything! The cabin has everything a young family might need, we appreciated that so much. This is certainly also a place a couple could enjoy a slow quiet weekend! This was our first experience using VRBO and a rental over a hotel room. It was by a long shot, a much better experience for our family. We can’t wait to go back!

Fun on the brazos

Our stay was very nice. The drive to the property through the woods was really neat. We loved the privacy of the property and the fact that we could walk out of the house to the river was awesome. We had a great time fishing as a family and caught a few bass! The house was very clean and looked like it has had some updates. The beds were very comfortable, and the living space was spacious as well. The kitchen and dining area were a little small but we knew that going in. There was plenty of utensils, plates, and bowls. We cook big meals at most VRBO’s so we found the cooking supplies to be the bare minimum. We brought our own crock pots and pans just in case, and we had to use them. The only miss was that the keurig did not work. We found that the needle had been broken, so we relied on a family member to bring us some coffee. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and the location. We would recommend this place to everyone.
