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!

Great stay

It’s a great house for our little family. Me, my wife and our 1 year old stayed for a couple of nights while visiting Waco. The hosts were incredibly helpful and great at communicating. The house was well done, had everything we needed and more, and was very comfortable. We will be keeping this in mind for our next trip to Waco. We highly recommend.

The River run house was super quaint & stylish. Just what we wanted.

The owners were very accommodating and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend staying here. I thought the neighborhood would be different, but it was very quiet, safe and a great central location.

We had an amazing time staying here. Josh was so kind and responsive and gave GREAT recommendations for our time in Waco. We were close to the Silos and to other attractions downtown. The beds were so comfortable and my friends and I enjoyed our slow mornings drinking coffee and visiting on the porch! Would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend for others to stay!

Sweet Cottage in Waco

We stayed for three days in “the cottage”. Clean, hot water for bath/shower after exploring Waco and the surrounding area. Cozy and warm home. The owner made sure we were comfortable and all was well. At night, we wrapped up in blankets and watched Fixer Upper episodes.The river and walking trails were nearby for afternoon walks. We had a lovely time!

Cute House

My mom and I visited Waco to shop at Magnolia with my one year old son. The house was so cute and perfect for our stay. Close to Magnolia, the perfect size, great backyard to sit in when it wasn’t too hot and the beds were so comfortable. Owners were kind and very accommodating. Would recommend!

I’m thrilled with our stay. Quiet, very comfortable beds and ample kitchen and bath. Manager was very responsive when we couldn’t retrieve the key. He was there in 5minutes to let us in. Also gave us recommendations about restaurants which were great. Also showed us a around his store and art gallery.

This house is adorable. If you’re going to the Silos it’s a 5-7 minute drive. The house is well decorated, cute and has everything you will need for a short stay. The front and backyard are great gathering spaces and there is a small Kitchen with seating if you need to cook there. The beds were comfortable and clean. Also the “rules” for leaving are fairly easy. I highly recommend this for small family or girls weekend. We comfortably stayed with 4 adults.

Adorable Home

This is the second time we've stayed here and absolutely LOVE the home and it's location. Easy access to Cameron Park, Baylor, Brazos River and Waco amenities. It's tucked away in a safe, quiet, up and coming neighborhood, super clean and well maintained with all the necessities. My daughter even commented these were the best beds she's ever slept in, and that says a LOT! We happened to be in town this last time during a TX summer and the AC didn't disappoint. We will definitely be back!

Cozy and Perfect!

This was my 2nd stay at River Run. It’s just perfect! Great location, quiet and safe little neighborhood, and so very comfortable. One of my favorite features in this house is the electric fireplace. It really warms up the room and brings a lovey ambiance. It was freezing temps the day of arrival, but the owners turned on the heat and had it all warmed up! Such lovely hosts. Super accommodating, responsive and kind.

Tiny little home.

The home was clean and adequate for visiting and sleeping, but the bathroom tub/shower was non-funtional. Imagine if we'd been a family doing physical things and had children who get really dirty. We managed, but one of us had to wash her hair in the kitchen sink. Rest of us old ladies just managed without for the two nights. Cute refrigerator. We never tried the TV as we were there for each other.

The neighborhood gave us a bit of concern. Also having a few extra bathtowels would have been nice. One hand towel for four people was not acceptable. The house itself was very nice and contained all we needed except for the towels. Pit a five star for communication with property manager but did not talk to him??
