The house has a private fenced in backyard in a nice quiet neighborhood for you to enjoy. We have a fully stocked kitchen for anything you would like to cook. You will notice in the bedrooms some custom headboards we made ourselves from an old shipping crate. In the closet you will find some hand stitched quilts made from our Grandmother and Aunts. If you look closely you can see the charming imperfections!

Great for a Quick Trip to Waco
The house was clean and conveniently located. For a quick trip to Waco it was a good option. The driveway is a little tight to park a larger vehicle.

Very nice, modern home
Home was very nice on the inside. Everything inside looked pretty new and very clean. A slight hiccup with check-in. We received the instructions after check-in time, but it was quickly resolved. Thanks for a great stay!

Great space for our getaway
As mentioned by others previously the location gave us pause but we had zero issues. No one bothered us. It was very convenient and easy to get around to and from in Waco. Communication with owner was excellent and very quick. We only had minor issues requiring us to ask questions. Cleanliness overall was great, we only had a couple of concerns with linens that seemed to have been used but there were extra. We had everything we needed and it was spacious and quiet-except for the cats outside talking to each other :)

Super Clean & Comfy
Communication was prompt & any issue we had was quickly resolved. A quiet area with some older homes that appear to be part of a revitalization effort (?) Felt safe in the home. The primary bedroom is extra large for a house this size, very nice surprise! Updated appliances & access to washer & dryer made it a comfy stay for our group of 3. Would stay again 👍

Nice Stay
The house was very cute and clean. It had a perfect layout for our group. The owner checked in with us via email to make sure we arrived and had everything we needed. The location was great for visiting the zoo and the Magnolia Silos, as well as many restaurants.

Great House
We loved the house! So new and beautiful. We loved all the amenities in the house and the decor is beautiful. This home is close to the Silos, HEB, and restaurants. The information binder was great and the restaurant recommendations were on point. We enjoyed a restful stay in the home during our visit. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Waco!

Very cute house in a slightly sketchy neighborhood
The neighborhood was run down, and we were a little nervous about the safety of our surroundings outside. The house was absolutely lovely: clean, well decorated, welcoming and comfortable. Magnolia attractions were within a 10-minute drive.
