Lovely home
We had such a nice stay at this home. The check in process was easy and the owners kept in touch all during our stay just to make sure we had what we needed. Location is great- just 5-6 minutes to Baylor and the Silos. Everything was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

Sports Weekend in Waco
We picked the house based on proximity to Cameron Park and the house provided exactly what we needed. A good common area for our group to start and finish the day at and easy commutes to Cameron, Brazos East and Lake Waco Golf Club, not to mention an even shorter drive to Magnolia. Will try to get it again if we come back next year for the Waco tourney.

Sister Trip
My two sisters and I enjoyed coming to Waco to check out the Magnolia Market and had a wonderful time at your charming house. Wouldn’t change a thing about the inside. However, we were slightly alarmed at how unkept the yard and landscape was when we first saw where we were staying. Our fears quickly changed when we were inside. The first impression could be worked on. Lovely, lovely accommodations though. Thank you.

Excellent Waco Stay
This was my second time staying in this charming property. First time was with my then high school-aged son and a few friends and this time with my aging parents who needed us to be in a one-story property. The property is updated and super clean with special touches for guests throughout. The location close to downtown Waco and to Baylor. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Highly recomemnd!

We will definitely be visiting this home again! It’s proximity to Baylor University and the silos, which were two points of interest for us, made it an ideal location for our family. The neighborhood is safe and quaint, and the home is clean, updated, very lovely.

Girls Weekend
This house was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, couch was very comfortable, safe neighborhood. You will have to drive to the Magnolia Silos, but nice neighborhood for evening walks, and sitting on the porch. Loved having the laundry detergent to do laundry (not just a one load pod) plenty of coffee and creamer and we loved the popcorn to pop upon arrival! The only thing I would recommend is the master bedroom needs a blind over the window behind the bed. The outside street light is very bright at night and the window covering was very sheer.

This was a well maintained, clean property. We enjoyed our stay there. However, we were not familiar with Waco and did not realize we could not walk to the Silos even though they were very close. It was a trip to remember for us!
