Nice house, clean, well stocked, close to downtown. Suggestions it would be very nice to have a small Keurig coffee pot. FYI your cleaning people put wet rugs down on your beautiful floors. Would hate for them to get ruined. Thanks

Waco visit
The interior of the house was cute. However, the neighborhood was a little sketchy, front and backyard needed to be mowed, refrigerator inside was not clean and neither was the inside lid of the drip coffee pot. We also had considerable trouble with the combination door latch.Other than those issues it meant our needs and when I reached out to the host to share some concerns she was quick to respond.

Beautiful cottage
The way the cottage has been remodelled is aesthetically pleasing. The bedrooms easily and comfortably accomodate a family, especially if you have furbabies !!! Communication with owner was easy. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, location is not the greatest as it is in North Waco neighborhood. Easy access to attractions.

Cute Bugalow
This property was really close to all the attractions and the airport. The house was clean and decorated really nice. The bedrooms were spacious and could fit all in our party. The neighborhood was not the best and the neighbors came and went quite often in the middle of the night but I would not mind staying there again.

Location, location, location...
While this property does boast location proximity to Baylor and Silos, what it does not boast is the proximity to a loud bar and unsightly neighbors. It was on a busy street with lots of interesting noises/music, and activities that left us feeling that we were not in the safest of neighborhoods. The house across the street seemed to occupy a large number of men who entertained themselves on the porch with music and shouting, while watching our every move as we came and went. We did not feel comfortable even opening a window shade. If I could have picked up the house and moved it, it would have lived up to all it claimed! Too bad this little charmer comes with nosy neighbors.

In town for Baylor Family Weekend. The house was everything we needed for the weekend. Plenty of room for the family. Easy to get to everything. Some may give a side eye to the look of surrounding neighborhood but it was fine.

Great little cottage
We stayed in the Shiplap cottage for our annual board planning retreat for our nonprofit. Everything was just as advertised. Ashley provided plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, bath towels, shampoo, soap, etc. We would have loved to have a couple of kitchen towels but that's an easy fix. The house was clean and comfy. We were close to most things we wanted to do in Waco including the Silos. Ashley was very prompt to answer messages. Provided coffee and creamers was a nice touch as were the basket of comfy blankets in the living room. We used the TV for entertainment and also to cast our laptops for planning purposes. All in all it was a lovely place.
