Great Waco VRBO
We stayed here as our son was graduating from Baylor. The place was amazing. We sat on the porch and watched the fireflies and enjoyed the thunderstorms. It was conveniently located to everything and only a 5-minute drive to Silos and 10 minutes to Baylor. Beds were super comfortable and just a wonderful place to stay. I wish we had known about this house 4 years ago when our son started at Baylor.
This beautiful house was perfect for our girls trip to Magnolia. We had everything we needed and the beds were heavenly. The owner had great communication. We come to Waco every year and this place just moved to the top of our list. The porch was also amazing.

Mom and daughters get away
This was a long awaited getaway for my three daughters and myself. The minute we walked into the house we felt like we were home. It was decorated beautifully and every comfort that we needed was provided. Plenty of room for the four of us. We loved having our coffee out on the wraparound porch in the morning. It was conveniently located to the silos in the downtown area. We would highly recommend choosing this property if you’re planning on a trip to Waco.

Magnolia birthday weekend
This house is beautiful and completely enhanced our Magnolia themed vacation. Everything about this property is well thought out and perfectly executed. The beds are like pillows with the soft bedding and comfy down comforters and quilts. Hands down this was without a doubt our favorite part of the whole weekend. Joanna Gaines did not decorate this home but it looks and feels like she did!

One of the best appointed VRBO properties I have ever stayed in!
The 100 year old house is perfection! It has been so beautifully renovated! The beds are ridiculously comfortable. The kitchen is perfectly appointed. I could go on and on...it is a house where you think, “I can’t think of a single thing missed”. My only 2 complaints are the gate is a bit heavy and hard to move and the neighbors were noisy every night even though we stayed during the week until around 9:30 PM. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lovely porch although it was 90 plus degrees because the yard, furniture and outdoor ceiling fans made it worth it...the neighbors and their music/noise unfortunately took away from the ambience. We would highly recommend! I think it is better to know the neighborhood situation before you arrive.
