Old friend reunion

Waco was half way for all of us. We all are Texans but all different directions. It rained half the time we were there but we enjoyed watching and listening to itwhile we visited and played games and relaxed. We had a great time and we will back. Kill

Ok

The house was fine. It wasn’t the cleanest place. The sinks in the bathroom weren’t clean. The lawn wasn’t mowed and was a little run down. The owner was attentive!

Girls trip

We had a great stay. The home was clean, comfortable and beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was a bit sketchy looking, but we had no problems and it was quiet. A short drive to the Silos and every where we went.

More spacious than you would think

Because of the layout of the house, it felt more spacious than the square footage. Great place for a family. Enjoyed playing Uno around the kitchen table. Could use a mirror in the bedrooms, maybe on the back of the doors.

Perfect Location for Us—Great Place to Stay

We had to drive back and forth between Grand Lodge and Lee Lockwood. This house was perfect for our group. Nice and clean, everything worked, and well-stocked. Quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to everything. Hope to be back next year!

Comfortable & Roomy Stay

We stayed here while helping our daughter move. The house was very relaxing, from the comfortable beds to the extra long couch and chaise we could stretch out on at the end of a long day. Very clean and great communication from the owner!

Cozy Home

Great house that feels like home. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute. This home is clean, beds are comfy, and the house is adorable. We were a group of ladies only and we always felt safe. I highly recommend staying at the Cozy Shack.

Stay in Waco

Check in was super smooth and our hosts were great. Gotta be honest the neighborhood was sketchy. There was a fight in the streets on our second night there. It would have been nice to have a lock to put on the gate for the night. The house was beautiful and well kept. Great suggestions for things to do and places to eat

Baylor Move-In Was Great

My family stayed at this property while we moved my son into his freshman year at Baylor. It was perfect for our needs. It truly is cozy and the beds were super comfortable. The living room was great to hang out and watch tv as well. We loved the secure feeling of closing the gate at night. Property owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.
