About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Walk to the River or Downtown. One block from Cameron Park. 1 Mile to Silos!

The River Run is a boutique and curated bungalow, one block from the fabulous Brazos River walk and entrance to gorgeous Cameron Park and its 20 miles of single track trails. Only a few blocks from downtown eateries, The Silo’s and the zoo, the home is ideally situated in a quiet little transitional neighborhood close to everything. Take a jog in the morning down the Brazos River walk and see the famous Waco Suspension Bridge and get a bite at the many food trucks and small businesses close by. Evening walks by the river reveal lovely views of the water and beautiful animal sculptures line the way - a perfect opportunity for your next selfie:)
The home is so darling, curated and considered for your enjoyment. Two bedrooms and one bath will comfortably house your party and the kitchen is fully stocked and functional with all necessary appliances and cooking utensils, should you desire to stay in.
Relax on the full-width front porch or chill out in the very secluded and fenced off back yard in the red Adirondack chairs, under the string lights.

The house has been a multiple years labor of love for us, as we took it to the studs, and took our time putting it back together. We feel that it is finally ready to release into our vacation rental fleet, and we can’t wait to host you here! The River Run is a perfect home away from home and a launching pad to all things Baylor, Waco and Magnolia.
See you soon!

Josh responded quickly and was very helpful. The house is clean and nice. The location is perfect. As walkers, my sister and I were very pleased with the location. It is about a block from the river walk. You can walk along the river and then go left to the market which is about a mile from the house or go right to downtown which is a mile. Silos are 1 1/2 miles and the Ranger museum about 1 1/2 miles. If you go other direction on river walk you are less than a mile to Cameron park. Highly recommend this property all the way around. Neighborhood felt safe and quiet.

We did not stay at this house as there was a power issue when we first arrived, but our host went way above and beyond to make our weekend a success. Our host got us a hotel for the first night, then offered us an upgrade to a larger home. Because of winter storm Fern, we were not able to do much around Waco, but our host contacted us to see if we needed food. The home where we stayed was fabulous. I recommend staying at any of this host's home in Waco.

It is in a fantastic location between Cameron Park and downtown Waco. A very short walk for early morning and sunset river strolls. The check in / out process is super easy and the house is always clean on arrival. The kitchen is adequately supplied. The backyard is pleasant space for those slow Texas nights.This was the second time staying at this house and our kids can’t wait to return next year.
