Peaceful Retreat-Close to Downtown Waco

Enjoy a peaceful country setting in this charming home for a family gathering, a celebration or some relaxation. Guests will enjoy the beautiful surroundings from the comfort of the porch or the tree-shaded back yard. Great dining, shopping and sight-seeing experiences are nearby. Come see the local attractions and enjoy Waco, Texas and the surrounding area at its best.

The Guest House is positioned on a beautiful heavily wooded 20 acres. If you're not interested in venturing to Waco, you may enjoy sitting by the fire pit in the evening, or star gaze in the dark night skies. This comfortable guesthouse is sure to provide a memorable experience.

We are located on the edge of Waco. An easy 7 miles from downtown Waco and shopping. Close enough to shop, eat and play but far enough to relax away. Other places of interest near our home are Highlander Ranch-McLennan Community College, Waco Mammoth National Monument, Waco Regional Airport, Lake Waco Golf Club, Lake Waco, and the Brazos & Bosque Rivers, Cameron Park, McLain Stadium. We are also only 20 minutes to Surf Waco.

Privacy of guests will be respected by the owners whose home is in the nearby physical proximity of The Guest House. Guests will feel a sense of seclusion and peace as they visit this serene location.

Beautiful property!
Jerri’s place was a beautiful place for our stay in Waco. It was very clean and super comfortable. We enjoyed using the fire pit one evening and it was quick and easy to get downtown. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Relaxing Stay
The guest house is located about 10 to 15 min outside of Waco. It was close enough for us to visit Cameron Park, the Zoo, Dr. Pepper Museum, Homestead Heritage, Sports Hall of Fame, and of course, the Magnolia Silos. But the location was far enough so it was a very relaxing stay- away from the main part of the city of Waco. We loved it. It had everything you need in the kitchen. Overall it was a great experience and would stay here again.

Everything you can think of
My sister and I had a great girsl getaway. The house was very clean and was decorated nicely. They had all the little things that people sometimes forget on vacation available; ie coffe, coffee creamer, shampoo, conditioner, board games etc... too much to list but you can tell the owners want to make sure that their renters have a relaxing time. Also, very good communication.

Enjoyed the stay
My wife and son and I had a great time staying at this house. We loved the peacefulness of it, and it was only about 10 minutes from downtown if you want to go there. Not far at all. If I had to nitpick at all, I’d say the WiFi could have been a little faster, but honestly it wasn’t a problem. Better not to be using it too much on vacation anyways.

Perfect country cottage
Immaculately clean and impressive attention to details like shampoo/conditioner, extra throws, and outlet adapters. Just the right distance outside of town to enjoy the country but have a only a short drive to where you want to be. Host information was thorough and accurate. Great place to stay!

Perfect for trip to the horse show with daughter and mom.
I was afraid that it would be not convenient to the extraco center, but it was in fact close. There is also a great spot to grab a meal or a drink just down the road. I will definitely book again!

Open Spaces and Fresh Places
We dropped into Waco for a quick fishing trip and for my wife and daughter to visit Magnolia Market. This location was just a little more of a drive to the Market, but the price and the warmth of the property was well worth it. If you love open spaces, cleanliness, freshness (the home feels new, property is well manicured) I would highly recommend The Guest House! Our hosts even put out extra wood for the outdoor fire pit for us for our grandbaby, we didnt get to use it (tuckered out playing board games), but the host is gracious and very responsive to make sure even the small things are done. Would definitely stay again.

Waco getaway
This place was cute and our family enjoyed our stay. It's not the most toddler friendly place but once we put some stuff out of reach of 3 year old triplet hands, it was much better. They had everything you could need and we loved all the blankets!

The way a vacation should be. Everything is provided in every room including the kitchen. Clean and relaxing. Lots of space to be outside and play, or take a stroll to hear nature. Second time rental and it will not be the last. Not far from town either.

Beautiful, peaceful, and comfortable home
We absolutely love this house and the property. Eventhough it was not gigantic, it had a very good use of space and felt much larger. It is an older home but tastefully remodeled with every detail very well thought out. The home was set back on a large property. It felt secluded and private yet close to civilization. We all felt that if we ever visit Waco again we would love to come back to this same home.
