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!

Pleasant Enough I Guess

We had a fairly pleasant stay . 2 things were wrong about the listing. 1. A comment said the neighborhood wasnt good. It was fine 2. The listing said Magnolia Silos was 2 Streets took over 20min by car to The house was in great shape very comfortable except the beds. One family member had to sleep on the coach because the bed was so hard. Some bedroom doors would not latch.

Cozy and clean!

We loved staying here. Everything was clean and well stocked. I always bring extras (toilet paper, dishwasher pods, etc) and didn't need any of it! The host was easily accessible and the keypad lock made check in a breeze. We would stay again.

Perfect house!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay!!! The house was so charming (exactly like the pictures!) & had everything we needed. Check-in was seamless, beds were comfortable, A/C worked great, washer & dryer are very new. All things that seem minor, but can tend to be the luck of the draw with short term rentals. The absolute best part is that check-out was SO EASY. We were basically instructed to not worry about anything, they would take care of it. After traveling cross-country to celebrate our son’s graduation from Baylor we were tuckered out & that was a very nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone coming to Waco.

We had a wonderful time. We were on a girls trip, two sisters and a sister-in-law. The house was very nice and welcoming. We had a great time in Waco, seeing Magnolia, took a tour of the town, just had a great time. Everyone was very friendly, everywhere we went.

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.

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!

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.
