Great time in Waco!

This house was darling! We stayed here two nights so that my daughter could tour Baylor and we could have a shopping day at Magnolia and all the cute boutiques. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. It is about three houses down from Pinewoods, which is one of the most popular coffee bars in town. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Cute and Clean

Took a siblings trip to Waco and stayed here. The layout was perfect for the four of us. With one room having three beds for the girls and one room having one king for my brother. The house was very clean and served our needs wonderfully. And they made the process of checking in / out very easy! Would stay again.

Great Stay

My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at this home. The home was very clean and tidy and the beds were very comfy. We had easy access to the places we wanted to go. There could have been more regular coffee pods available; the majority of pods were decaf. The only confusion we had was around exactly where to park, but we did figure it out.

Lovely visit

Thank you for the weekend stay in your cozy home! I was in town from Denver for a Baylor tennis team reunion and your home was in a great location and close to some new Waco additions since I was last there. The home was clean, comfortable and had wonderful amenities, like a Keurig with coffee pods! Thank you again for allowing us to stay.

Perfect and cozy for a great visit

We enjoyed the house very much. Kitchen was roomy and well-equipped which allowed us to prepare meals and play games. Washer and dryer were a little noisy, but convenient and we appreciated the detergent! Shower had a nice stream of warm water and bed was comfy! We would stay here again. Nest control was great for controlling temp during our cold stay.

Vacation Getaway

This was the perfect spot to vacation. The place was very clean and well decorated. It had 2 bedrooms with very comfortable beds. I enjoyed the nice furniture and the whole place was comfortable. It was close to downtown and a short drive from Magnolia Silos and spice village. It was on a quiet street and I felt very safe the entire time. I will definitely be returning soon!

Great Girls Weekend

Roomy for a smaller house with all the details provided. Don't be deterred by the parking description, as there's plenty of street parking too. Some noise comes through the shared wall from the joining house but it wasn't too bothersome. Easy to access keypad on the door made check-in and checkout simple. Great stay with all the Waco sights quickly accessible. I would stay again!

Immaculately Clean

The property was wonderful! Clean, comfortable and cozy! The host did a great job with every aspect of the house. The neighbors were noisy and a dog was barking outside the window at 6 am every morning. Otherwise, it would have been a perfect stay.

Coffee lovers dream

We enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and as stated in the description. Beds were comfortable. If you love coffee, this is the place to stay!! Pinewood Coffee is a block away. There are sidewalks so it’s very walkable. The cons of this place is parking is a little confusing and communication with the host. Seems the property is managed by a rental company and not an individual host. If you stay over a weekend don’t count on being able to contact anyone but the answering service who can’t do a thing! Noise was an issue and there was no toaster in the kitchen. Other than that it was a lovely place.

Great little place

This was a great little place to stay at. Nice and clean. Super close to all of the amenities downtown. Neighborhood was good. The only thing I have to complain about is the management company. I tried to reach them for two weeks prior to our stay to ask for early check-in, and a couple questions about the property and no one ever called me back or answered any of my messages I sent them, the review would be five stars if they would have answered. Overall, if you’re looking for a good place to say, I would say this one’s good long as you don’t need anything extra accommodated.

Excellent!

This small house was perfect for our party of 4 for a long weekend. Very clean and neat which is most important to us. Excellent location, never far from Baylor, Magnolia, or any other site to see. Finally, we loved the furnishings because they seem straight out of Magnolia and made us FEEL like we were in TX. Had no reason to contact the property manager. Note we were pleasantly surprised that there were items in the house like liquid soap, detergent, etc. May have been left by previous renters but was nice not to have to buy everything. Would stay again and will recommend. Thank you!
