Farmhouse Stay near Waco! Relax with hilltop views, wrap around deck, fire pit!

Welcome to “The Big House” — a hill country retreat blending historic charm with modern comfort. The Big House is privately located, set atop a hill just outside the small town of Valley Mills, Texas. This 4BR/3BA home features a spa-like primary suite, chef’s kitchen with 48” range, and wraparound porch with hilltop views. Set on 10+ acres with a deck, fire pit, and mature oaks, it’s perfect for peaceful escapes, group gatherings, or family retreats.

The Big House features two large living areas and a downstairs primary suite with a king bed and ensuite bathroom—heated floors, soaking tub, and arched walk-in shower. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms: 2 with queen beds, and 1 with a twin bed plus 2 optional floor foam mattresses (great for kids). Three full bathrooms include an upstairs bath with a clawfoot tub, a guest bath with a walk-in shower, and the ensuite with soaking tub and walk-in shower in the primary bedroom.

A large dining table seats 8 comfortably. The custom kitchen is fully stocked with upgraded appliances, custom white-oak cabinetry, dishware, utensils, and a 48” gas range—plus lots of natural light and views. The living room has a large Roku TV ready for your streaming logins. Laundry room with washer/dryer included.

Outdoors, enjoy a wraparound porch, propane grill, covered seating area, back deck, fire pit, and soft-sided hot tub. Mature oaks and native wildflowers surround the space.

While The Big House is private, three guest cabins are located toward the base of the property; if you would like more information on renting out the guest cabins for a larger group stay, please contact the host. Please note: A nearby train may pass through occasionally with a short (10–15 sec) horn—most guests find it part of the local charm.

Other details: Pack-n-play provided. An assortment of games, cards, and children’s books also provided.
