Plenty of Room
We were in town for a workshop and needed the space to prep. The large dining room table was perfect for the assembly line of items. We all had our own private rooms and wished we had booked an extra night to truly enjoy the living spaces inside and out.

Nice and Relaxing
Stayed here for our visit in Waco for the Waco 70.3 1/2 IronMan. Loved this place. This house is huge with plenty of Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Loved the kitchen area as we didn’t eat out much and cooked there. The outdoor area was perfect. The weather was perfect for lighting fires on the fire pit and just relaxing in the huge backyard area. The entrance into the property is secured and locked with plenty of outside lighting. The host was great and answered all questions quickly when we had them. Would definitely stay here again

Amazing, perfect for big group
We absolutely loved this house and will definitely want to stay here again. We had 6 couples and lots of littles under 5. The owner sent us extremely detailed information ahead of time about all of the amenities, check in, info on appliances, etc. which was very helpful for coordinating with the group. It’s fully gated and could fit all of our cars inside which was awesome. The bedrooms are big and everyone mentioned that the house was so comfortable, clean, and spacious. The owner is very accommodating and easy to get a hold of. Even with a big group, there were plenty of basics like towels and trash bags. I would highly recommend this house to any big group.

Gorgeous home in perfect spot!
We rented this house for our Waco Wild West cycling trip. We are a big group of ladies that prefer to stay together and have access to the kitchen. Speaking of that, the kitchen is marvelous! Did I mention they have a full drawer of Keurig cups? The rooms are spacious, and each bathroom has plenty of towel and good shampoo and soaps. Roberto the host is very prompt with his replies, and very easygoing. We will definitely come back for next year! Thanks for sharing your beautiful house!

Perfect stay for my wedding weekend
My bridal party and I stayed here for the weekend of my wedding, and it was the perfect space for us. SO much space, great living/lounging areas, and a big dining room space and table that served as a great place for hair and makeup artist to work their magic. Would absolutely recommend!

Birthday Celebration
A group of friends rented this beautiful house to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Our original date was in February, but due to a crisis, we had to reschedule to March. The host graciously worked with us at no additional cost, even though we missed the cancellation deadline. All of the instructions in the welcome packet were accurate & thorough. When we had a concern the host responded immediately & solved our issue. The house was absolutely beautiful. The host’s attention to details did not go without notice. The motivational signs were inspiring. The house was clean & well-stocked. The only addition I would add would he at least 1 TV upstairs. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting Waco.
