Perfect place for the April 2024 Eclipse
I wanted a place in Texas close to the April 8 2024 total eclipse centerline with plenty of clear space to setup telescopes and photography gear to catch the event. Weather was iffy but we got lucky and had a wonderful eclipse-viewing experience! The old farmhouse is clean and very charming. The open kitchen and expandable dining room table can accommodate even larger groups, but for the few of us that stayed the week it was perfect for evening cards & board games. Beds were comfy and bathrooms very clean, with plenty of towels. The back porch is great for sitting & talking around the fire pit. For anyone staying in the front/east bedroom, you may want to bring along a blackout curtain. I'm glad I did, because even with the blinds closed it gets awfully bright in there.

Property was beautiful and the house was exactly as pictured. Everything needed in the kitchen and bathrooms and then some! This property is remote so familiarity with country roads is helpful....the remoteness adds to the ambiance.

Quiet, peaceful
Property had everything we needed. Kitchen was so well stocked and had all the extras like ziplock bags and Tupperware that make things easy. Plenty of firewood for the pit out back. Way out in the country but we liked that.

Annual girls trip a success!
My sisters and I take a girls trip every year and this year we decided on the Waco area. This house is out in the country, very quiet and peaceful. It has plenty of room (there were 4 of us) and the kitchen is better stocked than my own! Beds very comfortable, plenty of nice towels, and two bathrooms made it very easy for 4 women to get dressed in the morning. The host always responded quickly to my messages. It was a great place to stay, very clean and comfortable and had everything we could need. Would gladly stay there again!

Cozy Retreat
We had a wonderful stay and the property was very accommodating for our group. This house was clean and very cozy! There has been much love and thought put into the supplies, decor and style. We enjoyed reading all the wall hangings and sayings. Ryan was more than helpful and kind. We will definitely rent this house again. Thank you Ryan and your family for allowing us to stay. God Bless

Perfect girls trip!
This house was so cozy and cute! We wanted to be close-ish to Waco but not in the city because we wanted to just relax. We loved this house so much! Definitely recommend going to Clifton because it was so delightful! We wouldn’t have went if it wasn’t suggested by the property owners! Ryan was always in contact and so helpful and kind!
