The property was just as advertised and met my family’s needs perfectly. We unilaterally agreed we would stay there again in the future. Amy was attentive and extremely helpful. The dogs loved the property and it’s completely fenced so no worries there. For us…this was a 10 outta 10 stay! 😊

If you are looking to get out of the city and enjoy some quiet time in the country, this is the place.Was in the area for work, spent 3 weeks here and had no issues at all, we are country folks, so this place was right up my alley for an extended trip with the opportunity to bring my wife and our pups along without having to worry about making it work in a congested hotel scenario.The house was clean and is very roomy with plenty of space for a larger group if needed. All the appliances worked fine, internet was good for streaming and getting work done.Close enough to shopping and food to be convenient, but far enough out to get away from the grind. Easy day trips to Austin and Waco. Groceries and restaurants within 15 minutes in Temple with convenience stores much closer if just needing a few items.Where we live is heavy forest, so was really nice to be somewhere to enjoy the wide open space and views for a bit - sunrises / sunsets are really nice from the porches.We would stay here again for sure!

The sheets on the master mattress were dirty. Abrasive gunk on the sheets along with multiple pieces of hair. The master mattress could have been taken straight from a dump and put directly into that master bedroom. The hall bath toilet was filthy and unclean. The entire place is grimey and poorly maintained. I contacted the on call property manager directly.. never received a response. I contacted Evolve and it took a month to get a credit that didn’t cover the cleaning fee. Vrbo would do nothing because I did not contact them while in the house ( we were there less than two day ). We are now former customer.

We really enjoyed the rural privacy of this property! The massive yard is fully fenced and was perfect for our two small boys to run and play in with minimal parental stress. The layout of the house is also super family friendly. Both front and back porches are cozy and inviting for cold sweet tea and good conversation. I’m certain we’ll be staying again in the future!

If you are looking for a place that is out in the country with nothing around, this is for you. The house is not represented well in the outside front photo. The front has massive overgrown trees (some half dead). The fire pit does not have stumps as in the picture, but what looked like old school desks around it. The grill is charcoal and very old. The house itself is old but clean. It reminds me of my grandmothers house. Outdated furniture and decor. Could not get the shower in the master bath to work. Back outside light didn’t work. The property is surrounded by what looks like a family compound of about 3 houses on the right. Behind the house is a pasture with a horse. We never saw anyone tend to this poor horse with food or water for 3 days. Since this is your only view from the back porch it’s pretty hard to not notice or care. The outdoor furniture is metal and SO uncomfortable we went and bought chairs to sit in. Since the house is in the middle of nowhere it would have been nice to at least have comfortable outdoor seating. On the positive side, the washer and dryer are very nice as well as the fridge. The king sized bed in the master was very comfortable! And the water pressure and hot water in the guest bath were awesome. This rental served our purpose of getting off the grid for a few days but we were disappointed overall with the condition of the property.

This was the our type of rental, in the country, no traffic noise. You will hear the trains in the background, my husband’s a train watcher, but you can’t see them. Fort Hood is near by and do practice exercises. Sound like distant thunder.

We stayed at Willows Nest while working in Waco. It was such a little gem! We enjoyed weekend fires in the fire pit, relaxing on the back porch in the morning sun and on the front porch for the sunset. Peaceful and relaxing with everything we needed! All with a fabulous host who was available if we needed her. Wonderful stay, wouldn’t hesitate to do it again!

Spacious fenced yard, with a friendly horse the next yard over. Lots of room to run. Rural area, but close to small town with a nice grocery store, and a larger area with many good restaurants. very quiet. the house is charming and nicely appointed. I wish we could have stayed longer.

We enjoyed the property, the peace and quiet. We used the fire ring outside and just sat out on the porch. I have been working in Temple and have had to use a VRBO every week and this has been by far the BEST. Also, the host was very helpful and responsive. I have already booked my next stay. The only thing I would say is bring your own coffee cups. The cups in the house barely hold the coffee from the Keurig and if you want to add creamer or something, forget it.

Even my dog was calm and relaxed! My family and I will never forget this stay.

Quaint farmhouse stay

Quaint farmhouse stay

We brought our dogs and a 5 year old and they had a blast! We roasted weenies and marshmallows over the fire pit for dinner one night. About a 25 minute drive to the Bell County Exposition Center and 20 minutes to the nearest HEB. The guest contact was very helpful and the house was well labeled with instructions.

Great House South of Waco

Great House South of Waco

My family (three generations) stayed at Willows' Nest Inn recently for Baylor Homecoming and had a fantastic time. The house is about 30 minutes away from campus so not to far. Everything that we needed was at the house and we enjoyed the weekend together as a family. My only regret was not getting to use the fire pit for s'mores! My son and I got up on morning and went for a run up and down the country road and didn't see a single car (but we did see lots of cows and goats). Sunday morning we drove into Moody and picked up some donuts and kolaches for breakfast. Super easy check-in process and communcation with Amy and Rita was great. My family will definitely keep this house in mind for future Baylor trips.

Great Place to Stay

Great Place to Stay

I had to go to a conference in Waco but didn't want to stay in the city. This was a great alternative- close enough to Waco but very much in a country setting. I forgot the directions and I don't have gps, but the property manager was great and helped me navigate my way to the property. The large lot size was great as I brought my dogs and they had room to run and play. I really like that it was fenced and gated so my dogs stayed in the yard (and other dogs out of the yard). The house was very clean and very large, the air conditioning worked great. You could hear the train go by and the sunsets were marvelous. I added on another night after my conference was over so that I could explore the area more. Mother Neff State Park is nearby and was well worth the visit. If I'm ever in Texas again, I would certainly stay here. Thanks for providing a great experience!

My mom, husband, and I stayed over Labor Day weekend to visit our son who lives in Temple. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. It smelled good every time we walked in the door! Our little Aussie loved playing frisbee in the big yard. It was very relaxing and peaceful. We will be back!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Moody & will definitely book again. It was the perfect size home. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms had everything we needed. The kitchen was stocked. The living room was comfortable. There was plenty of room for parking. The firepit was nice to sit around in the evenings. We loved the country setting while being close to Belton & Temple. The owners left some delicious watermelon for us which was much appreciated. We loved sitting on the porch in the morning, drinking our coffee, and listening to the cows and chickens. Moody had everything we needed and more!

This was the perfect home to stay in for a family weekend. The house includes many bathroom and kitchen amenities and is full of hospitality. We were able to barbecue, grill and play games, and were also an easy drive to Waco where we enjoyed shopping and good food. Highly recommend this house - the hosts are very welcoming and easy to contact should you have any questions during your stay.

We were in the area for a High School Fishing tournament. Rita and Amy had the house ready when we showed up and went over and beyond to have fresh kolaches and homemade cookies for the boys with a Good Luck note! They were so sweet! The home is an absolutely charming home with 3 bedsrooms, pullout couch, and rollaway. Loved that it was close to Stillhouse Hollow and Belton Lakes as well as Temple and Waco for shopping. Enough room to park 2 - 22’ bass boats and HD trucks and extra vehicles. Plugs on front and back porch gave easy access to charge the boats at night. We loved the safe and secluded country setting so we did not have to worry about equipment being stolen. This house is an diamond and when back in the area we definitely will be back! Thank you for the warm hospitality and welcoming home!

If you enjoy the sounds of birds, trains and wind as it whistles through the trees. This is a great place to stay. We were able to enjoy sitting on the porch every morning to enjoy our coffee and the view and then be in Temple or at the lake in no time at all. The property was clean and well maintained. We were welcomed with fresh flowers on the table. The soaps smelled wonderful and the owner's left us soup and Texas mugs. It was nice to be able to take our dogs and have a fenced yard so they did not have to stay on a lease at all times. We took our dogs to the lake swimming and enjoyed an afternoon in Salado. Although there were only 2 of us, it will accommodate many more people and was set up so a larger group could play volley ball and BBQ to enjoy the outdoors. We would recommend Willows Nest Inn to a friend or relative.
