Beautiful Home

We stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate my 50th birthday, and I'm glad we chose this home. It's so close to the Downtown area and centrally located to everything there is to do in Waco. We will definitely stay here again on our return trip to Waco as there is so much to do in Waco than one weekend can handle.

About the host

Hosted by Erin and John Shank

We are a professional couple from Central Texas. We own/operate three vacation rentals. The Getaway at Lake Whitney was our family lakehouse/retreat. It has been fully restored and is now an very popular weekend rental. The Inn on Austin Avenue opened in August of 2019 and is a beautifully restored historic home in downtown Waco. The Hideaway at Lake Belton is a three-story mid-century modern lake view home. We absolutely love hosting guests in these homes which we have had so much fun restoring. We take pride in giving our guests beautiful homes that are perfect locations for making great memories.

Why they chose this property

The Inn on Austin Avenue was built in 1912. The craftsman style home was in terrible shape when we purchased it, but has been fully restored and is simply beautiful. Watch your favorite movie or play a video game on our 70 inch TV downstairs. Have a glass of wine in our outside dining room and watch the most amazing display of birds in our trees. Relax in one of the three bedrooms with new Down comforters. We promise that your stay at The Inn on Austin Avenue will be one you will remember and want to share with friends.
