Amazing location, secluded but just a short drive to Waco. House is clean and modern, with all facilities and amenities for a comfortable stay. Host is communicative and friendly, and we appreciated the personal touches like the welcome manual and notes with suggestions for activities. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay in the countryside.

Doe's Hideaway was fantastic for our stay in the area. Dorothy communicated well to us regarding our stay and entry to the house. The house had more than enough room for my wife and I. The place is spotless and extremely well maintained. The property is majestic. We loved greeting the long horn cows and the donkeys each morning. The birds are amazing too. If you have a chance to stay here don't pass it up. It will not disappoint.

We had a wonderful time with our stay. We were visiting family in Waco so the Doe's Hideaway was far enough away from Waco to enjoy relaxation after a busy day. The stay was in the middle of a severe storm but the stay in the Doe's Hideaway was cozy and peaceful when storms were all around. The Doe's Hideaway will be our home away from home when we are visiting the Waco area.

Doe’s Hideaway was absolutely precious. The views pulling down the road are picturesque. The animals you encounter just put a smile on your face. .Everything flowed with ease. Inside and outside the cottage was exceptionally clean. We came for the sunrise and sunset but it was cloudy. That didn’t thwart the romantic scene. It gives a reason to return. Relaxation at its finest awaits you at Doe’s Hideaway. Oh yeah …. we even sat out back and watched a woodpecker. Haven’t seen one since I was a kid. Thank you Doe for sharing.
