"Time together is a gift"... this quote from Joanna Gaines perfectly encompasses what we want our space to be... a place where friends and family can enjoy time together.
Located on Austin Avenue in the heart of Downtown Waco, we are quite literally steps from an endless selection of shopping, restaurants and entertainment options.
- 5 minute walk - The Magnolia Silos and the Finderey are both a 5 minute walk from our door, with lots of other great shopping opportunities in between. - 2 miles or less - Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Cameron Park and the Cameron Park Zoo are all less than 2 miles from our property.
You truly cannot ask for a better location in the Waco area.

Featuring spacious outdoor living and outdoor dining areas as well as a firepit, it's the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or relax after a day of exploring.

We were looking for a place for a getaway and this place was perfect. Close to walk to things to see and eat. Or just sit on the balcony and do nothing. The place was clean and really cute.

Thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope we can have you back again on a future trip!
This place is beautiful, comfortable, and is in walking distance of so many great places, including the Silos. The host was great with communication. We very much enjoyed our stay here.
We stayed in unit 4 which had a wonderful well equipped private balcony. The apartment was clean, well-lit and well maintained. The kitchen was beautiful, modern looking and well equipped with modern appliances. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also wonderful and had access to the private balcony. The location in downtown Waco was wonderful with just a short drive to the Silos, across the street from Hotel1928 and within easy walking distance of several restaurants. I'd recommend this location to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Waco.

No wonder the reviews are so good here! Such a great place to stay. So clean and perfectly spacious. The large deck was our favorite and were thankful the weather cooperated to make it so pleasant to use. What we didnt know was what a prime location it ended up being. Plenty of cute shops and restaurants, coffee spots nearby and a spa right across the street! We this place.

Our hosts, Robin & Wendy were awesome. The space was very clean and inviting - also decorated beautifully for Christmas. Would definitely book here again if we need a location in Waco again. The balcony was wonderful!
The condo was clean, beautiful and very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony patio, plenty of seating. We could walk to sites and restaurants, great location! All in all, would definitely choose this again!!

This is a great home/location. You are able to walk to lots of great spots from the home. The Silos, Dr Pepper Museum and tons of restaurants. Especially loved the patio, the weather was perfect for hanging out in the mornings and evenings.

Thanks so much for allowing us to host your trip to Waco! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay! In the future, please let me know if any of the surrounding venues have music that is a disturbance. The Waco police department has begun issuing citations and making them lower the volume; we just have to call and report it. Thanks again for letting us host your trip!
Wonderful getaway with a friend at this lovely property! The location could not have been better! Walking distance or short drive to so many restaurants and attractions. Parking was convenient and abundant. The private balcony was such a treat! The unit was very clean and comfortably set up, and communication with host was very quick and friendly. It’s located in a prime urban setting so a little music could be heard at night, but it didn’t disturb our stay at all. We would definitely stay there again if we are back in Waco!

About the host
Hosted by Robin Harris
Robin & Wendy met in 2000 as freshmen at Baylor University. 22 years later, they now have three amazing children (Colin, Ethan and Camryn) who keep them busy with baseball and softball games, theater shows and gymnastics competitions. Avid supporters of Waco and Baylor University, they're excited to share this amazing space and hope it will be a place that others can make lifelong memories together.
Why they chose this property
Location, location, location. We searched for over three years before we found the right property. This condo is nestled in the historic downtown area along Austin Ave and within a 5 minute walk of Magnolia, the Findery, Union Food Hall and everything downtown has to offer. The huge private balcony sold us on this condo and most guests report they spend as much time relaxing and grilling on the patio as they do inside!
What makes this property unique
In addition to creating a space that would be beautiful and inviting for our guests, we also worked hard to ensure that none of the "little things" that make a stay comfortable were overlooked. Things like the quality of the sheets, duvets and towels, large king beds and high-quality mattresses, Starbuck's coffee, full cable tv and charging blocks in all rooms, and comfortable patio furniture with multiple areas to relaxing. These are just a few examples of the steps we've taken to hopefully exceed our guest's expectations.
