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!

I’m thrilled with our stay. Quiet, very comfortable beds and ample kitchen and bath. Manager was very responsive when we couldn’t retrieve the key. He was there in 5minutes to let us in.

This was a great location. Easy to get around the city. We did enjoy sitting on the porch and enjoying the quiet. Discovered on last day how close we were to Riverwalk. Great stay!

Mom’s 75th bday trip
We had a great stay. The house looks just like it does on the pictures- very cute! Plenty of space for my mom, sister, and I, and it’s close to all of the Magnolia stuff (main driver of the visit to Waco). The neighborhood is transitioning as noted in other comments and responses and as in those same comments and responses we had zero trouble. Oh, and the sheets were so comfy!! Highly recommend a stay.

Great little Gem close to everything.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. I thought the house was perfect for our girls trip. Beds were comfortable and house was quiet and cool even with the 100 degree temperatures. It was easy access to the silos and the shops we wanted to see in that area. If the weather was cooler I probably would have walked the block down to the river and had a nice stroll. I thought the neighborhood was perfectly fine. We drove by some other “fixer upper” houses from the tv show and this neighborhood is nicer by far. I spent my mornings in the back yard reading and evenings on the front porch. Although I didn’t meet the neighbors, the area was very quiet. The couple that owns this property is right in Waco and were two of the friendliest people we met in Texas. Stop by their shop on 5th! There are some great items in there. Highly recommend and would stay here again on a return trip!

Adorable home, tastefully decorated and clean. Well equipped if wanting to cook. Coffee available. Neighborhood appears sketchy when first arriving but we felt safe. I stayed with my mom and we had a great time. Close to the silos but not within walking distance.
