About this property

Beautifully Renovated Home near Baylor, Silos & Downtown Waco

Surrounded by large majestic oak trees, this mid-century authentic Texas home has been beautifully renovated for a peaceful getaway because you deserve to experience a place where life moves at whatever pace you choose. Relax in the countryside with easy access to all the events and attractions in Waco, or visit the historic Czech town of West. You will have the entire house and a peaceful yard all to yourself. This historic farm has been owned by our family for more than 100 years, and we're glad you found us. Once you stay here, you will understand why guests keep coming back. Read all the five-star reviews of this property and book your reservation now with confidence while your dates are still available. And if you have any questions at all, reach out to Clyde because he genuinely wants to help. This property is not a typical short-term rental. It's your own personal home away from home.

Enjoy your morning coffee while watching baby calves run and jump in the surrounding fields. Listen to the songs of cardinals and bluebirds, and if you're lucky, you might even see a roadrunner or two! Or enjoy a glass of wine with a beautiful Texas sunset, followed by some of the best star gazing in the state!

And although The Brickyard House is a great place to unplug and unwind, you can also enjoy our free Wi-Fi network to stream your favorite shows on a 55" HD TV or to login and get some work done. When you're ready to venture out, you can grab kolaches in the historic and quaint Czech town of West (less than 5 minutes away) or experience the recently revitalized downtown district of Waco (only about 15 minutes away). After an event at Baylor or after exploring the Magnolia Silos, escape the crowds and return to your own personal country retreat. However you choose to spend your time, the memories you make here will last a lifetime.

It's now your turn to exhale, relax and enjoy your stay here at The Brickyard House.

Also worth noting:
With 2 bedrooms (1 king and 1 queen) and 1 bathroom, the house is perfect for 2-4 guests. However, there is also a sofa sleeper in the living room so the house can actually sleep up to 5, if needed.

The farm house was an excellent respite from the business of Waco yet just a short 12 minute ride to Baylor. The beds slept wonderfully!! It was so peaceful we enjoyed early mornings watching the cows and the sun come up as well as quiet evenings.We will return.

Repeat Guest - our stay was amazing again!

This is my 4th time to stay at the Brickyard House! It is wonderful - perfectly clean farmhouse in the country but so close to Waco. It is so serene to look out back and see the cows in the pasture. Everything you need is provided. Clyde our host provides amazing communication and service. We can't wait to go back!! hostEverythingnneednpeovidedpeicide

Great place, great host, peaceful location = 5 stars all around!

Great location if you are looking for distance from Waco, but close enough to drive (or uber) in for the day (20 mins out). Clyde was fantastic at communicating and the house is spotless clean with cold water in the fridge waiting for your arrival. Beautiful and thoughtful updates! Highly recommend!

Cozy Country

We had such a wonderful stay at the Brickyard house! Clyde is the perfect host and very responsive to communications. The house was clean, spacious, and provided everything we could have possibly needed. And having coffee with the cows was such a sweet surprise! Super easy to get to nearby Waco too. We will be staying again!

Best VRBO ever

This was by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The discrimination of this property is spot on in fact I believe it’s so much more. The communication was wonderful with the owner. From the moment you arrive it is clear to see this is a very cared and loved property. This isn’t a modge podge thrown together place. Nice appliances, furniture, linens, and dishes. Lastly COWS they are simply amazing and lovable I couldn’t wait to get up and see them in the morning and we came from Wisconsin where we can see cows all over something just hit differently here. Birds galore as well. The location was super quiet as well. I can not wait to come here again. I enjoyed it so much I wish I could have left them a thank you gift because our vacation was so perfect because of this place.

Oh so peaceful!

The Brickyard House is easily one of our favorite VRBO rentals! When my husband and I decided to visit the West and Waco areas for a nice relaxing weekend to celebrate his birthday, we looked for a cozy cottage in a secluded area. The Brickyard House met all of our needs. It's literally surrounded by peaceful pastures and is located along a very quiet country road. The home was perfectly spotless, well-maintained and supplied with everything we needed and more. But being secluded didn't mean out of touch! Restaurants in West were less than a 10 minute drive. We enjoyed the Tipsy Lion. Everything in Waco was only about a half-hour away. We highly recommend George's Restaurant there! At night there were so many stars! And the king-sized bed was very comfortable. We both slept like babes. Even though we never needed anything, our host Clyde kept in touch and shared information about his lovely home and things to look for in the area. We will definitely look to stay there again in the future.

From beginning to end, a wonderful weekend! The Farmhouse is the most peaceful spot. Perfectly clean, easy check-in, amazing communication with the host, everything provided for a fun relaxing time.

Private and comfy

I loved staying here for Baylor Family weekend. This was a much better option for us than a Waco hotel. So quaint and quiet and only 15 minutes campus. The beds were very comfy, so we slept great. I’ll have to say that the cows coming to the fence line for water in the mornings is the main reason I’ll come back. It added to the vibe for sure!

Clyde puts hospitality first and we felt so welcomed. His family home has been wonderfully renovated for guests and we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Quality through and through in the kitchen, living room, bedrooms. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful and the cows in the field are a key component of that peaceful presence one feels. For anyone who loves a cozy, quiet get-away, this is THE place to be!

A Perfect Stay

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was just as described in the listing, if not better. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. It’s clear the host takes pride in the property, and it really made a difference in the overall experience. Communication with the host was a breeze. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and eager to assist with any questions I had before and during my stay. I really appreciated the clear instructions for check-in. The location was perfect for my needs, and the surroundings were peaceful and relaxing. Overall, I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed vacation rental.

Ty so very much for sharing your family home with others! We haven’t been “staying” here, we have been “living” here the last couple of days. It takes me “home” to the farm life in my soul and you are a wonderful attentive host. You and your family did an amazing job on the remodel. And I love that you kept it personal with some of your family belongings and with the photograph of your dad, the painting from your mother and I’m sure she played this piano beautifully. We will definitely be coming back …. Soon!

Hotels no more

This will be the first place I look for availability anytime I stay in Waco. If it isn't available, I would seriously consider rescheduling my trip to when I can stay here. It was very easy to get to. Close enough to the freeway for ease of access, but far enough away that I couldn't hear the traffic when trying to sleep. The house was clean, comfortable, welcoming, cute, and I truly felt safe during my stay. The host, Clyde, was very attentive, easy to reach and I truly felt like he was available to help me with absolutely anything I would have needed. I would like to suggest getting 1 or 2 chairs to sit on outside. While the weather was cold (for Waco) during my stay, being from the north I enjoyed it and would have liked another place to sit than the picnic table. If there were chairs and I missed them, my apologies. All around, a great place to stay. I am going to suggest it to everyone I know looking for a place to bed down for a night or longer when in the Waco area. Thank you for offering this piece of your family to me. I enjoyed every minute spent on the property.
