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!

Perfect!

We loved everything about this house. The location was great- walking distance to Magnolia and 3 minute drive to Baylor. The house was clean, spacious and full of charm. The owners left some chips and salsa for us to enjoy and it was my favorite snack each day. We will definitely look to stay here again when we return to Waco.

Close to Silos!

We spent 3 nights at Jesse’s Place and it was great for our family. The kids loved the bunk room with the arcade game. The outdoor basketball hoop and corn hole boards made for fun evenings. Location is about a 6 minute walk to the silos. Neighborhood is going through revitalization but the property was safe and the area was quiet. Property looks just like the pictures and full of all you need for a longer stay recommend for anyone visiting Waco!

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!

Home Away from Home

The house is light and airy. Great layout and beautifully decorated. Our 2 granddaughters loved the room with bunk beds. There was plenty of room for them to spread out their toys and keep the clutter in one room! The gated back yard has a privacy fence around it, which made a safe place for kids to play without having an adult out there with them. We would definitely stay there 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!

Cutest Place!

This place is a MUST stay! The hosts are phenomenal to work with. There were unexpected treats when we arrived which made us feel welcomed and special! The location is close to everything Magnolia and a short distance to all the good restaurants and shopping. If you’re not familiar with Waco, the neighborhood is mixed with older and newly renovated houses. It’s not a bad area. You’ll definitely feel safe on the property and even with apartments across the street, it was quiet at night. I’d absolutely recommend this house to anyone visiting and would stay again in a heartbeat!

Waco Ladies Trip

Needed a place for four ladies and this place was perfect with 3 bedrooms two bathrooms and one room have two sets of bunk beds. Great location to the Silos and restaurants. Waco has areas that are being revitalized and this is one of them. This house was gated all around but tight getting in and out. My only 4/5 would be the sketchy houses two doors down but that is no fault of owner as others are starting to tear down and rebuild. Very close to the new Laquinta and right near the interstate made location convenient. Kitchen area was wonderful and modern. Would stay here again.
