Abbie and Hidden Branch have been very accommodating and provided many opportunities to ride and learn ! Abbie is very flexible on timing, and helps me find a group lesson every week, which is a little cheaper, as I'm a college student. She is a very positive trainer who is able to communicate effectively how to improve your riding. She pushes you to improve, but also is very understanding of the Texas heat and that with only riding once a week I'm not in as good of shape as I would like to be, so we get plenty of walk breaks and chats. The horses are all in great shape, and because of the low cost and vet on site I've been very tempted to try and get a horse myself, especially after seeing how both Abbie and Julie take such great care of all the horses. The horses are all happy and I've seen them galloping and playing in the fields on numerous occasions. Abbie's horses I've ridden are all such good characters and practically bomb proof. I would recommend Hidden Branch to anyone looking for a relaxed atmosphere to board or to lesson, while still trying to improve their ability.

My 6 year old got to ride on Foxy and was led on his horse since he is so young. I rode on Marley, and my sister had Diamond. We went through forest type setting where there were so many beautiful butterflies. Also there are parts that take you over other types of terrain. Certainly not boring at all. And Chris was so willing to answer any questions that we had. And super reassuring to my kids about how they were handling the horses and whatnot. My kids are saying they wish we could go there everyday if that tells you anything. We hope to try and make this a yearly "thing" because it really was about the best part of our little get away.

The staff was flexible to shift timing of the experiences so we didn't have to wait long in between- they were extremely accommodating and we never felt rushed either. The otter swim/playtime experience was originally what drew us, and it was even better than I'd imagined. Worth every penny! Then we got to feed and pet the capybaras, which were way friendlier than I thought they would be! The babies enjoyed some extra belly rubs too. Bottle feeding the kangaroo was so fun too- little Dundee was SO soft and loved all the pets, even gave us kisses! The giraffes were super friendly and greeted us every time we were nearby; feeding and getting quality time with them was an extra treat. The safari ride tour was also amazing- 5 of us fit comfortably and got to feed/see lots of animals that we wouldn't normally get to experience. We were surprised at how this place wasn't crowded at all in the middle of July when it is peak vacation season, so it really felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. They also have a beautiful main lodge area that is comfortable and welcoming with additional animals to enjoy.

I didn't realize that the #Magnolia properties are closed on Sunday, so I found other fun ways to get the Waco hospitality from the moment I arrived. I was actually glad that I got to see the town for what it is a few days before people traveled there from all over for #Silobration. I look forward to returning to Waco for a longer visit! I booked this tour through the Viator website and the tour group was really responsive from the beginning. I was actually concerned that my bus arriving to town might cause the tour to be delayed if they waited for me, but they were so kind with accommodating my schedule. It all worked out as it should timewise. I really enjoyed learning about Waco from Shannon and Don's perspective. First of all they are super friendly and welcoming and make you feel like neighbors! They shared stories of individuals from this small town who had done great things. They talked about big natural disasters that the town overcame! They showed us the natural beauty of the area around the zoo, and the rivers around town. I loved the college town feel too that made me long to go back to those college days. I also got to see several of my favorite fixer upper homes as we drove through town - many of which are now airbnbs! I don't want to spoil all that they shared, but I highly recommend their tour and will definitely return to do their river sunset tour. I also really appreciated that since they knew I was on foot and trying to get to the Dr Pepper Museum before they closed in less than an hour, they offered to drop me off there, which is not the normal ending point for the tour.

My friend and I drove around on our own and passed many of the points of interest that are on the tour. However, without being in Brad and Don's company, we would have never known about the history of the city... or been there for their dad jokes (ha,ha!). The reason I didn't give it a full five stars is because it's mainly a driving tour. It's hard to hear the commentary from the back of the bus; and, we only stopped twice: once to see Common Grounds and get a drink, and the second to stop in a park to see a view. It was quite chilly in their Sprinter; and I would have preferred to have more places to explore from outside the vehicle.

The horses in their care came from some bad situations, but now are surrounded by love and friends. They work so hard to get the horses healthy and hopefully into new loving homes. It's just amazing! I had a unique experience with this group through Girl Scouts. I heard about a hands on class they offer for Scouts to come out and learn about horses in a very hands on manner. I booked my Troop of 4th graders for a 3 hour class. During the class, my girls got to meet all of the horses, learn about their backstories, learn how to take care of horses, and even learned to ride unassisted at the end. Ms. Sherry worked with me to get my Troop booked for the event. She was so helpful and easy to work with. She ran our visit too. She had these 9 year olds out there cleaning and brushing the horses, getting dirty and messy, trying new things, and making them all feel valued. Ms. Sherry is an spitfire angel! I believe they also offer affordable horse back riding lessons for all ages to help fund their rescue mission. I highly recommend checking into Peaceful Acres for education events or to volunteer.

The majority of the lounge chairs are shaded and you don't have to worry about anyone taking/moving your belongings as you enjoy the water. The lazy river is extremely clean and well kept and the floaties are in abundance and FREE! Everyone is respectful in the pool! At any given time there can be newborn babies to the seniors and every age in between so being courteous is just as important as having fun! The music is great too! They play EVERYTHING including Spanish songs on Cedar Hill Tunes. There is one lazy river, one slide which is so much fun and never a long line, as well as a larger pool that is wheelchair assessable too. It was in this pool that my BF taught me to swim this Summer so the Cedar Hill Lagoon will forever be memorable to me! They also have about 7 cabanas that you can rent out for your private event. The bathrooms have great air flow and are pretty well kept with no trash on the ground an I definitely appreciated the cleanliness. They also have showers too. The lifeguards are also professional and they appear to have fun too. There is food available if you get hungry. A CH police officer does make his/her round at the pool too so it definitely makes you feel safe an at ease. I hope the Lagoon continues to be a fun, clean, memorable place for my future summers!

Stayed at the vacation house for a girls getaway to Waco. What a wonderful "cabin" and location! A great community only 10 minutes from Waco. We enjoyed the surroundings and peacefulness. The cabin is furnished for comfort and was spotless. You will not want for anything. Coffee supplies were provided for the next morning... which was really nice since we arrived about 10 PM. Curtis was very easy to work with and even stopped by to make sure everything was OK. Be sure to eat at the Homestead Cafe and visit the Heritage community. We did not have time to experience the horse back riding along the Brazos River....hope to make a return trip for that!. You will not regret choosing this place! read more

My family and I came to Texas to look at a few colleges and we wanted to have a real Texas experience. This trail ride was the highlight of the trip. I myself had never been on a horse before and our guide Rick was very well educated on horse behavior and reassured me that these horses are extremely well behaved. During the trail ride Rick taught us about the wildlife of the surrounding area and told us about his past experience homesteading. This trip took us outside the grim city life we have come accustomed too and into a whole new world. I cannot thank Rick enough for the experience and memory he gave to my family. read more

What an OUTSTANDING experience!! Ricky Bates, our trail guide was born to do what he's doing. I took my 71 year old mother to do her first horseback ride in over 25 years. She was a bit nervous and concerned that her disabilities would make mounting the horse a near impossibility. Ricky got the horse to within centimeters of the platform and then assisted her up onto the horse with ease. As we road through the beautifully wooded area it was awesome to see her be able to enjoy a nature walk on horseback. We created memories that will bring us joy for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU!! read more
