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!

Just Right
We had the most wonderful stay at River Run! From the moment we walked in, we were charmed by how cute and cozy the house was. Every little detail was thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a true home away from home. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring we had restful nights after days filled with exploring. The location was perfect—just a short distance from all the major attractions, so we never had to travel far to experience the best of the area. The hosts were absolutely delightful, always attentive and ready to offer recommendations or assist with anything we needed. River Run truly exceeded our expectations, and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

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.

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!
