HOLY SHIPLAP - Minutes from the Silos and Baylor!

The Lasker House is a beautifully restored home that features stunning shiplap and the original wood floors throughout the home. Plenty of room for family and friends and quaint enough for a romantic weekend getaway.

All the charm you would expect in a Waco historic home, while adding all the comforts you hope for when you're traveling. The kitchen is a perfect place to prepare a meal for your loved ones or reheat your leftovers from one of Waco's best restaurants.

Close to Magnolia
Cutest place with huge Primary bedroom upstairs. Note there is a spiral staircase to that room so someone staying up there should be able to navigate steep stairs. However, there are three good sizes bedrooms downstairs! The home is perfect for a group to gather. We felt safe in the older, partially renovated neighborhood and walked a little over 2 miles to Magnolia.

Waco Wedding
This house was AMAZING. We had two families (four adults, six kids), and there was room for everyone (some kids shared beds). Parking in the back was incredibly convenient and we were close to everything we needed to get to for a family wedding we were traveling to Waco for. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms had tons of space. If we ever go to Waco and need a place to stay, we will definitely rent this house again.

8 ladies from our family ranging in age from 20's to 60's enjoyed our stay at Holy Shiplap. Courtney has made the place comfortable and includes sundries that are a nice touch. Glad to have had the chance to experience Waco during the special Silobration weekend!

Great place for a girl's weekend
I gave the neighborhood a less than perfect score because the neighborhood is "hit and miss" in terms of how the homes have been maintained. That said, this home was in a great location to visit Magnolia and Cameron Park/Brazos River area. It has the original wood floors and lovely furnishings. The host has thought of every detail. The primary bedroom is up the winding metal staircase and so worth the climb. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.

Fantastic property for our family
We were in Waco for our daughter’s Baylor graduation. This was the perfect place to stay with plenty of room and worked perfectly for her small graduation party. Very clean and comfortable, and well stocked. We had our family of five (youngest is 17) and my husband’s parents, and we all had our own space. Thank you!

Holy Shiplap - it's SO beautiful!
This is a wonderful little gem of a property!! It is exactly like the pictures and then some!!! The beds were all super comfortable, there was even a basket with toothbrushes/toothpaste, which was perfect because one of us forgot our toiletries. The bathrooms are stocked with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/etc and very nicely remodeled. There are 2 full baths downstairs and one full bath upstairs, so we had lots of space for the 5 of us to get ready. Everything was very clean and super cute decorations! We enjoyed a day full of Magnolia fun and a quiet night in of door dash, wine, and good company. Plenty of room for everyone to lounge and catch up comfortably, and then spacious room to have our own space for sleeping at night. The loft bed and master bedroom upstairs are super cute, but you do have to climb a beautiful spiral staircase to get up there (with your bags) so that space may not be practical for everyone to get up/down from easily. The master bedroom was very large, and the loft bed is right off that and above the living room area...it's tucked away where you can get a good night sleep and not be disturbed if others are up in the house downstairs (with being reasonably quiet). Everything about the house is super charming and the host was very responsive! We felt very safe in the home and there is great parking behind the property, which was perfect, because the house is located directly next door to and across from two different businesses. We were there for a long weekend though and didnt hear a peep from them. It's also a typical Waco neighborhood, where there are some older homes in dis-repair, alongside gems like this that have been beautifully restored. It was a quick maybe 10min drive to the silos and downtown activities and was the perfect spot for our group of five for a long weekend girls trip! I would definitely rent this property again in the future!

We stayed here for a Baylor/UT basketball weekend and it was great! We slept 7 comfortably and 10 would have been easy. The kitchen is awesome for cooking, gathering and snacking plus there's a great dining table for games and sit-down meals. Parking in the back of the house accommodated all of our cars so we had safe, easy access. I would stay here again!!
