Lovely cottage
We stayed in the cottage during a football game weekend. The cottage is behind the main house situated in the garden area. Extremely cute cottage with two queen beds, small kitchen, closet and bathroom. Loads of art in the cottage and on the grounds. The homeowners are super friendly and accommodating. Wilson the beagle snuggles with you on the porch at night. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so in the future.

Read before you choose to stay!!!
While the place is very nice, it was not what my husband and I expected! We saw all different types of statues, a ouija board, and signs around the property that made us feel uncomfortable. We didn’t even stay the night and told the host we didn’t use the bathroom or touch the bed and still didn’t even get a partial refund. We left because we felt uncomfortable and you could tell evil is in that property so be aware!

Experience that lasts!
This was an amazing property! Despite the heat we had, the only thing that could be missing is a pool lol. Seriously though, the owners made sure we had everything we needed, they checked in with us and made sure we had snacks and water. They left us a cute note and a bottle of wine to start off the stay. The area was very relaxing and everyday I found something new on the property that i didn’t see the day prior. They did a great job delivering on the experience they have created. The cottage is cozy and the towels and beds are comfortable. We will definitely book again!

Backyard Oasis
If you are looking for a quiet, serene, welcoming place to just be and relax, this is it. The cottage is tidy and comfortable and the decor is wonderfully eclectic. The grounds, though, are what make this property special. It is quiet and private and the owner has created a place that is soothing to mind and soul. There are trees and little nooks to rest in. There is an outdoor kitchen and a path that wanders through and everywhere you look there are little objects of beauty. It is not picture perfect, but it is lovely in its uniqueness. Highly recommended.

Funky Fun
This was a cute cottage that our family enjoyed. We were only there two nights, so it was fine for us. Might be a bit small for a family staying longer. It’s ideal for a coupe though. There was construction in the property while we were there which was quite loud. But the construction is likely not ongoing. Would highly recommend for a coupe looking for a quiet getaway spot (assuming construction is finished!)

My son & I had a great time staying here this weekend. The owners were beyond awesome & helpful. The property is beautiful & huge. It was cold & rainy so we didn't get to enjoy the cantina too much but we did enjoy grilling out. Will definitely stay again if we are in Waco. Thank y'all so much.

Close to Magnolia, not close to clean or cottage-like
Although you are about 10 minutes from Magnolia and the towels were good quality, but that’s pretty much where its charms end. I wish I could post photos. There are cumbersome gates and codes to pass through on your way in and on your way out. The actual property itself does have 2 beds; however there were corners cut on bedding and looked dusty/smelled musty. We were lucky enough to have brought a diffuser so it didn’t smell that way. We found roaches scurrying around and my sister and I didn’t feel comfortable not wearing shoes because the floor is all concrete except for the bathroom tile. The decor is…odd. and. dusty. A golden girls pillow, a brass monkey lamp, a flying wood angel on a string, a painting with voluptuous latin women with mustaches in a bustling market, a race car driving helmet???, 3 of those bending anatomical sculptures from Ikea (I guess this was the most updated..but…odd), a stuffed curled up beanie baby life size cat on the bed. The bathroom fans were caked in dust and we found out once we tried to use them when we showered. *shudder* The pipes to the bathroom sink suspiciously quaked and rattled to the outside of the bathroom. The cantina we only saw the last day because it rained the whole time, but that bathroom…it was clear it had been given the majority of attention with soap, towel, granite countertop, and new trendy sink fixtures. It seemed a little slap in the face that it wasn’t consistent with what they provided in the accommodations of the actual rooms. The sheets…we decided it best to use the camping blanket I had brought instead. The whole cleanliness of the place was questioned after the roaches and dust were prevalent. The property decor and cleanliness looked like it was neglected overall. A life size statue was laying flat on the ground with leaves scattered and covering parts of it, cantina chair backs dirty, just a sight. There were a few baby lizards that darted around in the bathroom, which didn’t bother us in the slightest. However, we tried to reach out to the owner about the cleanliness and didn’t hear back until the end of the stay where it seemed we didn’t have the right contact info? Then someone did text and we let them know about some of the issues and received no response. Avoid this place. Find a hotel. We nearly stayed in one, but our reservation was non refundable….and oddly the overall price was a pretty penny. Don’t make the same mistake.

Great Place to Stay near The Silos at Magnolia Marketplace
This property was exactly as it was portrayed in the advertisement. The instructions upon arrival were precise and easy to follow. The owners left a complimentary bottle of Chardonay which we enjoyed in the expansive grounds on our last night. The grounds/yard area is interesting and a great place to sit and enjoy. It's rustic so you might see a bug or two, but otherwise the place was great!

Lizard in the shower.
Unit did not meet premier host standards. The unit was dark, dusty, and musty. There was a small lizard in the shower. The snack crackers were out of date. The bottle of complimentary wine had been opened and was half gone. We were also instructed to put our sheets in the washer and start it. The washer was in a shed across the property.
