Oak & Anchor Villa - Luxe Escape • Pool & Spa

Welcome to Oak & Anchor Villa—a peaceful retreat just 20 minutes from downtown Waco. Nestled in the quiet countryside of Crawford, near The Gaines’ original farmhouse, it’s the perfect home base for Baylor visits, Magnolia adventures, or family getaways.
