About this property

NM RANCH *Waco*Near Baylor/Silos/Waco Surf Park/Magnolia

Escape from the lights of the city and take in breathtaking views, from a beautiful sunrise with coffee to spectacular sunsets with your favorite beverage, and stars galore! Enjoy the private pool and hot tub! All the peaceful quiet the country has to offer while still close to the many amenities in Waco! Only 20-minute drive to Baylor/The Silos/Magnolia/Downtown Waco. Close to Backyard Bar, Waco Surf Park, MCC, and Extraco Events Center. Horse and cattle stalls/trailer parking available.

The space
Our home has three bedrooms each with its own private bath. We have a massive great room with a wood-burning fireplace and two sofas, a huge fully stocked kitchen. The kitchen opens to a large dining area surrounded by windows looking out to a beautiful view of the countryside. There are two half baths and a game room complete with a daybed and trundle, billiards, foosball, and board games. The large backyard is complete with a pool, hot tub, outdoor kitchen/bar, fire pit, and amazing sunsets. In the evenings, you can hear all the sounds of nature and enjoy a spectacular view of the stars! The space is perfect for family vacations and gatherings, bridal showers, and small weddings at additional pricing. We are secluded while still being near all that Downtown Waco has to offer including Magnolia/The Silos, Backyard Bar Stage and Grill, Baylor University, BSR Cable Park, Heart O’ Texas Extraco events center, Battle Lake Golf course, and Tradinghouse Lake. There is plenty of room to park your boat or sit on the back porch and watch the cattle roam on neighboring acreage! Space is available for stalling horses and livestock with plentiful trailer parking! Come sit a spell!!

The property is peaceful and relaxing. Very quiet. Spent most of our time outside on the back porch enjoying the breeze and the company. The host was super gracious and make sure I was familiar with all the items in the home before she left.

NM Ranch Staycation

Wow! Impressed, to say the least! The Scott’s, whom we met upon arrival, are a class act with a dollop of southern hospitality! These people were so kind, attentive, but also very respectful with your time and were not intrusive at all. This home is gorgeous! The pictures just don’t give it justification, truly! This property is a true gem! Great job with this beautiful home and thank you for sharing it with our family! We got to make so many memories! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Can’t wait to see you all again!

Very relaxing time at NM Ranch. Convenient to Waco but away enough to be private and peacefully quiet. Lots of room and a well appointed home. Big kitchen and pool area are made for entertaining.

Perfect place for Baylor graduation celebration

My extended family came together to celebrate my daughter's graduation from Baylor. I could not have been happier with the accommodations and location. The home is beautiful and spacious. It was perfect for my large crew. The hosts are gracious and felt like friends upon meeting them. The weather in this part of Texas is usually hot and humid but somehow the weather at the ranch was magical. We thoroughly enjoyed spending our time on the patio and in the pool. There was a constant breeze that made for delightful outside time. Thank you Scott family for welcoming us and for helping us to provide a celebration to remember for our sweet graduate.

Family Reunion

Had a fun time visiting Waco with family from Texas. This is a perfect location to the Silos, Ft. Worth Stockyards, the Ranger Museum and Baylor Campus. The Ranch is spacious, peaceful and the spa/pool outback is AMAZING! The kitchen I equipped with everything you need to make nightly meals and we thoroughly enjoyed the game room with pool table and Foosball table. Mr. and Mrs. Scott are great people and very punctual I’d we had any questions. It honestly felt like home staying on their Ranch. Will definitely be back!!

Disappointed

In all the years we have booked our stays through VRBO this was the first time that the property was not anything as advertised. Our reviews have always been positive and this is the first negative review that we have submitted. First of all, the owner greeted us and told us it was their primary residence and please don’t eat any of their food in the fridge. It made us feel like we were imposing on them. Secondly the paint is peeling, boards are warped, there are old hornets nests and cobwebs all throughout the back patio area. The furniture is falling apart in the kitchen/dining area, the outdoor bars are peeling, the rear door sticks and you have to kick it open. The most disturbing of all was the political sign at the entrance and a beautiful new confederate flag hung proudly on the back patio. Repulsive. It was certainly not anything that was visible on the website or we would never have considered staying there. For as much as we paid for our stay, it was really disappointing. We have paid more for accommodations and we have paid less for accommodations but they have always been as advertised and we have not been disappointed. I truly think that until the property is refreshed and the offensive sign and confederate flag are removed, this property should not be rented.

Wonderful Property

We stayed at NM Ranch close to Waco to visit my brother in nursing home and celebrate his birthday. The property was perfect for our family. The beds were so comfy and though the pool was cold the kids enjoyed it and the adults enjoyed the hot tub. The property is close enough to enjoy Waco and far enough out to enjoy the quite life. Carolyn was an awesome host and made our stay comfortable and easy.

Loved getting away!

We had a group of guys getting together to celebrate a few life events, and it was nice to get away from the city and all the COVID crap. This place was extremely nice, plenty of room to hangout, build a fire, and we played wiffle ball in the pasture. All in all, it was a beautiful home with all the amenities we could ask for. If your looking for a quiet getaway near Waco this is perfect. The owner was nice enough to meet a couple of the guys who arrived early and made sure they new where everything was and how to operate some of things in the house as well. Just genuinely a great experience and highly recommend.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Getaway

We wanted to do something special for my grandparents for Thanksgiving. This house was prefect for our family, my grand father loved watch the cows and sitting on the back porch. The kitchen was perfect for cooking and the dining room fit all 8 of us, everyone has their own bed and bathroom. I look forward to coming back again!

Friends and family celebration.

Four couples spent 4 days at this ranch. Guys played golf a few miles from the house while women went to Magnolia. A highlight was the hot tub and pool since the weather was in the 80’s and 90’s.
