You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Silo Creek Retreat- House, 30 Acres, Private Creek - The Ultimate Nature Escape!

Welcome to our 2900 sq ft haven, boasting 6 beautifully appointed sleeping spaces nestled amidst 30 acres of serene natural beauty. Wake up to the soothing sounds of the creek, with wildlife as your closest neighbors, offering a unique and refreshing spectacle each morning. This property is perfect for large family gatherings, intimate church groups, friends seeking a rejuvenating retreat, or families on the go looking for a spacious travel stopover.

Our home exudes warmth and comfort, with a vast open living area that acts as the heart of the house, ensuring everyone feels connected and at ease. If you love cooking or simply enjoy congregating in the kitchen, you'll appreciate our fully stocked space, complete with a massive 10-foot island. The master bathroom invites relaxation with its walk-in shower and deep soaking tub.

Kickstart your day at our coffee bar, and for those fitness enthusiasts, our dedicated workout area with a yoga mat and state-of-the-art Tonal machine ensures you won't miss a day of your routine. With complimentary WiFi, each guest can remain connected, and our thoughtful amenities like shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in each bathroom make packing that much easier.

Step outside and experience true tranquillity on our covered back porch, seating 9, overlooking the gentle creek. Fire up the outdoor grill for a delightful alfresco meal. If you're looking for a more rustic experience, journey down the hill to our designated camping area. Pitch your tents near the creek for a night under the stars. And don’t fret if you've left your camping gear behind; we offer supplies upon special request to the owner.

We are only a 10 minute drive to Lake Waco, Tonkawa Falls, and Waco Airport and 15 minutes to Magnolia Silos, Dr. Pepper Museum, Cameron Park Zoo, Downtown Waco, Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Hawaiian Falls, and other local attractions including vineyards, wineries and delicious BBQ.

Whether you sit peacefully on the patio, read a book, take a nature walk, or play one of the many provided board games, you are sure to feel the stress in your life melt away. Come immerse yourself in nature and luxury combined. We look forward to hosting you!
