This little cottage was a great place to stay. Close to everything we had planned. Very quaint house with lots of thoughtful touches. Would stay again.
It was my wife's 60th birthday so we took a small vacation to celbrate. Location was great for everything we wanted to do. Wonderful place and we would stay again. Thanks Susan.

Beautiful place in need of some updates
The place was adorably decorated, and it was close to Baylor which we needed. It was not in the best neighborhood. The master bedroom mattress needs replaced as it was sagging and not comfortable. The espresso machine did not work, and we called the shower a sprinkle, because while it was beautiful, it lacked water pressure.
It’s a very comfortable little house to just sit back and relax and having all the eating places around and close to places you would like to see in Waco.
This is a cute little place perfect for our needs. Very clean! Air container a little noisy so bring ear plugs, but beds comfortable. Close to Baylor which is why we were in town. Would stay again!!
Property is cute and was clean. Many negatives I feel I must list, unfortunately.Major thing was AC units are extremely obnoxious. I read a review prior that said they were loud, and I thought no big deal, I like white noise when I sleep…. Absolutely not. This was a loud mechanical noise coming from both units. Don’t stay here if you are a light sleeper or need silence when you sleep.Other things to note…. Beds are very, very uncomfortable and scratchy cheap sheets. Nespresso machine but no coffee pods supplied to make it. Plugs in part of bedroom not working, so not able to use the TV or fan in there. Nice and big bathroom but no shower supplies such as body wash/ soap. Also hot water went out quickly. This could have easily been a 4/5 star experience, but needs time to fix these issues.
Needed to be in Waco for a week to help my daughter with a large Baylor event. This was the perfect place - I LOVED the tub! It’s only a block from I-35 so could hear the interstate noise but not a deal breaker. I was there during a winter cold spell and the cottage was warm and cozy.There is no washer/dryer even though the listing says there is. The nespresso machine with the complimentary pods was a nice touch!
The location was excellent. The home was small but was good for just me. The home was located to restaurants and to the workshop that I needed to attend.

The cottage is adorable and clean! Close to all the fun things in Waco!
The cottage was perfect for our stay in Waco. It's close to Magnolia and lots of restaurants. It's very quaint and has a lot of charm, if looking for a cozy place to stay.
The heating system is not very efficient. The one in the bedroom goes on and off. This wasn’t good with the cold weather we had. We had no hot water the morning we left, so no showers!! We had an important meeting on our way to San Antonio and we were uncomfortable having not showered!
It was a quaint little house that we enjoyed our stay at. Loved the decor and it had everything we needed other than we only had 1 coffee pod for 2 people. The information booklet that was there was helpful when deciding where to go for dinner. Would definately stay again.
