Plus, we have plenty of room for your large groups with FOUR bedrooms and THREE bathrooms. Additionally, our home is the perfect getaway for a couples, family, or girls trip! Our Mavie House is located just over 2 miles from the Silos and downtown area!

Character, comfort, and charm describe this newly renovated historic home! My wish for you is to enjoy a weekend of relaxation, fun, and of course, plenty of sweetness!

Other things to note

Welcome to Texas! The weather can range from one extreme to the next all within 24 hrs. We ask when using heat keep the temp no higher than 68 and when using AC no lower than 65 (at night only) and 70 during the day. This helps the unit run as efficiently as possible without causing damage.

Additionally, we try to keep the electricity usage as Earth Friendly and conservative as possible. When not using a room, can you please be mindful of turning lights off in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and all other areas of the home. We are super appreciative of your assistance in helping us be more environmentally friendly.

Please text the property manager, Ashley upon checkout. Her number is in the guestbook.

Children are allowed, but I do not have the home set of for safety in regards to infants ages 0-2. Also, most of the furniture, bedding and towels are white, so children of all ages may need to be watched carefully to avoid spills and stains. I appreciate your help in keeping the place clean from stains!

Please no shoes on the living room rug or bedroom carpets.

Fireplace is inoperable at this time, and for display only.

Windows - if for any reason you need to open windows please be very careful. They are the original 1916 windows. They are heavy and don’t hold in the open position. If let loose they will break. Thank you for being careful!

Great stay near all things Magnolia!

We loved our stay here at Sweet Mavie house! The location proximity to all things Magnolia could not be beat. The property was super-clean and had all that we needed. The hosts are laid back and made an effort to make our stay as comfortable and easy-going as possible. We loved all the Magnolia decor touches, too! Thank you for a lovely place to stay on our couples getaway!

Sisters reunion

Our stay was for 5 sisters ages 69-82 and 2 spouses. We come from New York State, Minnesota and Texas. So Waco was a good spot to meet. And there was the attraction of the Magnolia Market/Silos. The "cottage" fit us well. The living room had comfortable seating for everyone. Perfect as much of our time was spent talking and visiting. Plenty of bathrooms.....comfortable beds and central air conditioning! This was important as temperatures outside were unusually high for the time of year. Overall, the house deserves a high rating.

Baylor Family Weekend

This property was spacious enough for all of us and has three bathrooms. The living room is large and comfortable with a full kitchen. The location is a bit of a drive from the Baylor University campus and a short distance from restaurants and shopping. Overall, good stay for larger parties.

Great house for 8!

We loved staying at this house in Waco! The house was charming, clean, and located in a great spot. There are only beds for 8 and it said it sleeps 10. We had to look around for other bedding and did find an air mattress. But loved the house and would definitely stay again.

Girls Trip

House was a good place to stay for our girls trip as there is plenty of seating in living & kitchen / dining room! Beds were comfy. Downsides were trash cans were full & stinky, dishwasher was broken & yard needed mowed & attention in back for mosquitos. Time outside was spent on front porch which have 2 nice rockers, a couple would have be nice. Neighborhood is not the best with some booming music when cars drove by but it didn’t really bother us much. Owner was responsive when notified of full trash & dishwasher but of course could only apologize. Overall, great proximity to various shopping / restaurants and home was comfortable.

Heather's 50th

The Sweet, sweet Mavie House was GREAT! Communication was perfect! Comfortable beds and pillows, stocked bathrooms! The kitchen was clean and stocked with enough coffee cups for the number of people it could sleep!! Beautiful decor and enough seating for us all. The rugs in the living room and under the kitchen table were adorable, but, very shaggy and hard to vacuum, therefore, our barefeet found some "treasures" while playing games and/or just hanging out. The location was the BEST! Never more than 4 or 5 miles from all the places you want to visit in Waco. The neighborhood didn't seem the greatest for those wanting to go on a run or walk in the AM alone. Overall experience was 5+++++! Thank you Phylisia!

The house was very clean, not cluttered, calming, comfortable, decorations were perfect and the right amount--cute little touches. They use eco friendly hand soap, dish washing liquid , Myers, hair care and body wash. The hair dryers worked great as did the coffee pot, stove and tea kettle. The AC worked perfectly. The house is centrally located, in a good location and we didn't have any issues. The host, Phylisia, was very responsive and easy to work with as was VRBO. We would definitely stay there again. TY.
