Kindred Cottage is a bright, renovated farmhouse set on 12 peaceful acres just 15–20 minutes from Magnolia Market, downtown Waco, and Baylor University. Surrounded by open fields and big Texas skies, the home offers a quiet countryside retreat while still being close to the attractions that bring visitors to Waco.

The space
The home sits on a large, tranquil property with views of surrounding fields and a creek-fed pond located a short walk from the house. Large windows throughout the home fill the interior with natural light, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere.

The home comfortably accommodates families and small groups, with a fully equipped kitchen and open living space that make it easy to gather, cook, and unwind after a day exploring Waco.

Outside, the backyard features a pergola-covered seating area with an outdoor sectional and grill — a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the peaceful countryside setting.

Kindred Cottage is conveniently located near many of Waco’s most loved destinations:

• Magnolia Market at the Silos

Whether visiting Waco for a weekend getaway, a Baylor event, or simply a quiet countryside escape, Kindred Cottage offers a comfortable place to slow down and enjoy the beauty of the Texas landscape.

The property sits on approximately 12 acres with open fields and a creek-fed pond located a short walk from the house. Guests are welcome to enjoy the outdoor spaces and explore the surrounding land while respecting fences and neighboring property boundaries.

These areas are used for storage and property maintenance and may contain equipment or supplies that could pose safety risks. For safety reasons, guests should not enter these structures.
