A Perfect Stay

Everything about this cottage and setting are stunning! It was spotlessly clean, well stocked and so incredibly peaceful. I sat for nearly two hours doing absolutely NOTHING but watching birds and listening to the birds, and it brought such peace to my soul. Thank you, thank you!!

Book Doe's today! The very best vacation rental that I have ever stayed at. Not only is it a lovely home with amazing surroundings, the owner thought of everything! Its also the little tnings too, such as an alarmclock, lovely bedding, a well stocked kitchen and bathroom. The directions and access were so easy! The stop sign at the gate was a great thought as well. I really could go on and on. Thank you!

The best honeymoon getaway!

We had the best time here! It was the perfect place to get away from all of the craziness of our regular day-to-day. A serene and secluded area, where we definitely got a lot of fishing in! Just a short drive into town to do something during the hottest parts of the day. We absolutely loved it and hope to be back again!

Peaceful Getaway

If you are looking for a peaceful retreat this is the place. Doe’s Hideaway is even prettier in person. We enjoyed our mornings on the front and back porch drinking our coffee and reading our bibles. What a perfect way to start the day. Had fun fishing and walking around on property, the Alpaca's were entertaining too. The evening skies were spectacular while hearing all the sounds of nature. We will definitely be back when we visit our daughter at Baylor.

Anniversary 29

Our most relaxing stay to date. The house was better than picturest shown. We relaxed on the back porch and by the waters edged most of the time. We had a storm along the coastline that made winds too high to fish most of the time, but still managed to catch a few. I highly recommend this house for a relaxing stay. Owner was sooo easy to deal with too. We even purchased one of the pieces of art while there.

A Beautiful Getaway

If you're looking for a cute, clean place to get away from the world, this is it! The decor and amenities were beautiful! The pond just made everything seem next level. Cast a line with a glass of wine, enjoy the rockers on the back porch, or throw open the curtains and enjoy from the warmth of your bed. We walked the property and I noticed lots of Bluebonnet plants. I will be back in spring to enjoy them in full bloom!

Serene Escape

This is a hidden gem for sure! We sadly had to leave early for a sick kiddo but the place was great. Very clean, rejuvenating to sit on the back porch. Can drink coffee in bed with the electric fireplace on while looking out at the pond and trees. Also very kid friendly if you choose to go that route. It’s only a short drive I’m to Waco so you have the peacefulness of the country and quick access to the city. It has a queen bed but I do think a king would fit nicely in the bedroom. We would absolutely stay here again.

A really nice getaway

My wife and I were looking for a short getaway from Dallas. We found and booked the place the same week. The place looked exactly what the pictures said and the place is really tucked away. It was super clean and well maintained. Our only issue was the bed was probably a full size in the bedroom. The listing says it’s 2 queens in the one bedroom (we didn’t need 2 beds, but would’ve loved at least one queen). But kudos to the hosts! We really enjoyed ourselves.
