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!

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

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.

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.

Wonderful stay! Totally recommend

We were in town for the regional skating competition for our 6-year old daughter. Perfect location for us to drive to both rinks. Property was great - super clean and had everything our family of 5 needed. Rarely do my husband and I find a bed as comfortable as the one we have at home, but we were so pleasantly surprised! I'm always cold so was glad to find the many extra thick and soft blankets provided. We will definitely stay here again for next year's meet!

Magnolia Experience

The main bathroom toilet had a lot of urine on the lower area. Needs a good cleaning! The bathroom also needed soap for hands on the sink. All in all it was a nice place and close the where we were shopping.

3 women, 2 & 3 yr old

Thoroughly enjoyed our Cozy Shack stay. The location was 10 minutes to anywhere! The Silos, the Suspension Bridge, all were a short drive. The home was comfortable, we enjoyed the faux fireplace and sitting around the dining room table. The departure requests were easy and simple, strip the beds, put out the trash and run the dishwasher! The fridge will be totally empty so bring what you need. Some spices, pam etc in the pantry. There were plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. The bed in the third bedroom was close to floor, no boxspring, but was great for us in case the 2 year old rolled out! (she didn’t tho). TV in living room and one in the master bedroom. We would stay again. We had made a reservation weeks in advance for Magnolia Table. Enjoyed lunch at Union Hall, basically a food park. Shopped at H.E.B. for groceries. Enjoyed the local parks and the sculptures along the Brazos River. Have fun in Waco!
