Six of us stayed here for a conference. We all had our own bedroom. The hot water didn’t work in the master suite, but the handyman came the next day to fix it. The house had everything we needed an we appreciated the stay.

This is a beautiful, old historic home. We loved coming back to the house everyday. The property was very clean, with every item you could possibly need to have a relaxing stay. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook could possibly use. There is a huge refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen which is open to the living room. It was the perfect set up for movie watching and snacking! We will definitely stay here again, the next time we are in Waco! Hats off to the owners!!

Location location! If you are a fan of Waco/ Magnolia this place you want to stay. Everything is quick 10 min. Walk downtown. The house is just outside of downtown and while an older home is very quaint cozy and fun. We did a weekend of five ladies. The beds were a dream to sleep in and the Cozy Furniture downstairs was fantastic for sipping wine and catching up. Highly recommend.

We were disappointed that there was no pickleball court, just a net, so we couldn't really play.The silverware drawer was broken when we got there, so we had to leave it on the countertop to get to it.The neighborhood was pretty sketchy so we were a little leary.Very cool house, though!

We had a wonderful stay at the Conner House. Kourtney was wonderful to work with.

The Conner house is ideally located to Baylor and the Silos for a wonderful Waco visit. We enjoyed out stay at the Conner house while visiting our Baylor Bear. Kourtney was so easy to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. We look forward to our stay at the Conner House in the Fall for Parent's Weekend. It will be a great gathering place for our families.

Wonderful spacious historic home

We loved staying here for our family Thanks-mas! It was even bigger than we were expecting with plenty of space for us to spread out. Check in and out process was simple! The house was very cute! The hot water was a little hit and miss if multiple people were trying to shower, but just took a little coordinating. Overall such a great stay and would love to come back and stay again in the future!!

Work retreat

It was great. Dining room table was not what was expected. Neighborhood was not greatest but very close to silos for our staff breaks. It definitely worked for our needs. House was old but we love historic homes. And the host was very responsive.

A great family stay in Waco

We had an amazing weekend with extended family and visiting our son who is a freshman at Baylor. Waco has exploded since I was a freshman in 1993! The house has plenty of space and rooms for all, antique charm and is close to everything. The only warning is be prepared to wake up early to the sound of roosters :)
