Great Stay, Perfect Location
We stayed a weekend at Jesse’s place and enjoyed the house! The hosts were thoughtful and communicative, the house was clean and within a 5 minute drive or short walk to everything we wanted to do. We felt safe in the home and would absolutely stay again!

Silos Vacation
Came with my mom for a girl’s trip to the Silos. The house is beautifully updated and decorated. Everything is new and clean. The location is an easy walk to the Silos and other shopping in the area. Tons of great restaurants nearby. Overall, we had a great trip!

The house was perfect for our long weekend trip! Thank you for the delicious wine. We were bummed we didn’t make it to Jesse’s tortilla factory before they closed to try some chips and salsa, maybe next time! Thanks again!

A good time was had by all
Great place and location. A suggestion for both bathrooms - rails for the shower and bathtub. Both were slippery and someone could easily fall with no rails to grab hold. Also, a shelf in the shower to place shampoo/body wash. The kitchen was very well thought out. There were pleasant details everywhere. Would easily stay there again. Nice and clean as well!

Great house in great location
We stay in a lot of vacation homes and I’ll have to admit, this one was everything promised and more. It was just as pictured, clean, convenient, and stocked well beyond the average. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, snacks, etc. I would most definitely pick this exact house on our next visit. Absolutely perfect and the owner/management know what it takes to make a carefree vacation experience a reality.

Lovely remodeled home with space for everyone. Just wish the fan chains were longer so speed could be adjusted. Very close to LOTS of eateries and within walking distance to Magnolia/silos. Neighborhood is not great, but once you’re inside you forget about it.

Waco warm welcome!
Jesse’s Place was a great home base to explore Waco and Baylor U. It was convenient to the campus, Magnolia Silos, and Waco. House was clean, had all the home amenities we needed (shampoo/body wash/ conditioner, washer/dryer/ smart TVs. The video game machine was a bonus and the bunk beds gave everyone a good restful sleep. Jessica took care of us with the check into the property and the automatic gate for the rear driveway made us feel safe. Would stay here again! Thx

Wonderful property in the Heart of Waco
We unfortunately only spent two nights in this wonderful property at the end of our Texas Roadtrip. It is located right between Bailor and the Silos. Actually, the Silos are within walking distance... It is very close to I35, which at times is rather noisy. But inside it is one of the most beautiful and well thought through properties we had the chance to live in. We collected many valuable ideas for our next renovation project and really enjoyed the stay. Highlight for the kids was the basketball and of course the gaming console :) In summary, everybody enjoyed it and it was a great base from which to explore Waco (which has so much to offer! We were positively surprised!).

Beautiful home
We enjoyed our stay in Jesses house! It is close to silos but we drove to silos so we didn’t have to carry the packages approx 3 blocks. There was plenty of free parking in town. Plenty of places close by to eat!! The property is surrounded by a wooden fence with auto gate to enter and exit. This was wonderful! We would not hesitate to return to this home when we return to Waco. The welcome book was fun to read. We felt well cared for during our stay. If we had a question we just had to ask. It was like having our own concierge service. If you go to Waco stop by Jesse’s family Tortilla Factory located 1226 Webster street. His cousin is a lovely man and a joy to chat with. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

GREAT Location & Amenities
We loved our stay at Jesse’s place during Baylor’s Homecoming! It was very spacious for our small party of 3, but the backyard was a big bonus - with the basketball hoop and seating we were outside every night, and the quaint front porch was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. The neighborhood is very quiet to, even being close to the freeway. I liked that part because we could access Baylor and downtown very quickly. We will definitely stay again!

Great stay!
We came in for a quick Baylor game weekend with my family of five and grandma! This house is a great location very clean, and easy to get into and out of! We loved the safety aspect since it was completely enclosed because of the back gate/driveway. Our kids LOVED the bunk room, with the arcade game and other fun games located in the house! I LOVED the fact that there was a pack and play in the house, so we didn't have to travel with ours! It was very comfortable and easy to get to and from on all of our adventures. Thanks for an easy and effortless stay!
