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!!

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!

AMAZING TX COUNTRY HOME!

My husband and I had a WONDERFUL stay! The cabin and property were even more beautiful in person. The perfect TX country feel, while still being a short distance into Waco. We will most definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Dorothy Tate

Host profile image
We truly love the rural lifestyle and want others to experience the relaxation and beauty that we are blessed to call home. Doe's Hideaway is zin a quiet back area of our family's farm and ranch land, so you have access to view nature and relax in a brand new build with all the modern comforts.

Why they chose this property

We're located on farm and ranch land between the small communities of Hallsburg, Mart, and Riesel, Texas. We're also just a short drive from Marlin and near to Waco and all that it has to offer.

During the Spring we have some of the best bluebonnet patches in the state, and from Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve (weather permitting) we have free drive-through Christmas lights around the main farm house a very short drive away.

What makes this property unique

Doe's Hideaway truly is a rural retreat. It's tucked away, quiet, and serene.
