Our stay here was peaceful and comfortable. All the rooms were perfect for our family. This property was was beyond perfect for our small weekend getaway!
Fantastic stay! Check-in and check-out processes were super easy, and the place was beautiful and clean. Best experience away from home we’ve ever had!

Thanks Dennis! I’m so glad you felt right at home!
IT's a great location and we hope to stay there again. It just needs some TLC structurally. Central Air is only in part of the building, so it had a musty smell when you walked in. Decorations are super cute.

Hi Gela,
I’m so glad you hope to stay again! We do have central heat and air in the entire house, but because there are so many windows in the back bedroom, we also offer a window unit during the hot summer months to keep guests extra cool. I’m glad you loved the decor.
Blessings,
Lacy
Locating the property and checking in was very easy. The house was very warm and welcoming. Plenty of space for our group of six adults. We loved sitting out on the porch and talking. The corn hole game was a plus. We loved Waco during the day and loved the country atmosphere at night. We would definitely stay here again when in the area and will be sure to recommend to our friends and family.

Thanks for taking time to share your review Sharon!! Take care!
We had the best time! House was beautiful and perfect for our mom’s weekend away. Love being in the country but not too far from downtown.The host/ management were very responsive and checked on us too.
This house was perfect for our group of 7. The 4 kids had a blast being together in the large room, and we easily could have had a couple more! The 4 adults had beautiful rooms and plenty of space too. We loved it and such a cute Farmhouse Texas vibe. Our first visit to the state was wonderful.

Thank you Lisa! We hope you make it back to Texas!
We thoroughly enjoyed the farmhouse! It was clean and comfortable for a girls getaway, just what we expected. There was nothing to worry about with our accommodations which gave us the freedom to concentrate on the fun we had planned. Wonderful!
We loved our stay in the farmhouse! We kept saying how at home we felt and loved the location. We are certainly hoping it’s available for our future stays in Waco. Cannot recommend this place enough!
My girlfriends and I had the best time staying in this adorable farm house! It's so close to everything while also having the quiet, country feeling. The home is comfortable with cozy beds. Instructions left by the host were easy to follow. We enjoyed every moment! Thank you!
We enjoyed our visit to the Waco area. The farmhouse was clean and beautiful decorated. The beds were very comfortable. The response time from the owners was fast. Would return on future trips.
This home was perfect for our family’s weekend stay. The home is well appointed with a definite understanding of hospitality and what guests will both need and appreciate. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable in every way. Very highly recommend!!
This was, by far, the nicest home away from home I’ve ever stayed in. We visited the area with our adult children and their significants. The home felt so warm and inviting and the decor was so tastefully done. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Lacey for your hospitality!
Pros:Very cleanComfortable couchGreat dining tableComfortable bedsLarge propertyLots of parkingLarge front porchBbqFirepitLess than a mile from Helberg BBQNear the lakeCons: Cockroach in bedroomLarge banana spiders (trash cans and porch) Road was busier and louder than expected No privacy curtain on backdoor
This was the perfect home for a family of adults to stay. We were there with our adult children and their partners and everyone had plenty of privacy. The kitchen was large. The living room was very comfortable. There were deer that came to visit in the morning.
We stayed here for our daughter-in-law's graduation; her family stayed in the house next door. Having adjacent places was wonderfully convenient for accommodating two families. Being right on the highway made it easy to find. It does not have an automatic dishwasher, so if that is important to you, bring paper plates! For our needs, it was perfect in every way - clean, well kept, as good as it looks in the listing - lovely.
Pros: 1)The house and the grounds were beautiful! Great colors and decor. 2)Plenty of towels. 3) Host responds very quickly. Cons: 1)We specifically booked a house with a fireplace. We brought firewood, only to find out that the fireplace is decorative only. You should NOT list the fireplace as an amenity if guests cannot use it. 2) Hot water runs out in the non-master bathroom after only 1 shower. 3)The non-master king room has a completely broken bed frame, cracked right in half, resulting in 2 sleepers rolling toward the middle.4) We specifically booked a house in the country to be able to do fireworks, only to find out our host bands them. It would be beneficial to let your guests know that BEFORE they arrive for New Years Eve.

Hi Heather,
It sounds like it would have been beneficial for you to ask about fires and fireworks before booking if it was that important to you. I understand that you were upset that you were asked not to burn the wood you brought since this home is older with original floors. However, we still found partially burned wood in a plastic trash can that could've caught fire. We do provide a fireplace with beautiful electric logs for a relaxing ambiance and a gas fire table outside for your use. If you had asked before you booked, I would've kindly let you know that we don't allow indoor fires due to high risk, allergies, and increased cleaning demands. There is only a volunteer fire department that services this area and no neighborhood fire hydrants.
We will address the broken frame immediately and have the hot water checked, as this is the first time it was brought to my attention.
All my best,
Lacy
We stayed at this house with two families, one with a 2 year old, and the other with a 5, 3, and 1 year old. One bedroom was basically sound proofed, but may not get as cool as the rest of the house. Each room had a white noise machine, which was a nice feature! The kitchen was fully stocked with tools, but the can opener was too weak to open a can of beans. We got to use the fire pit, which is powered by a propane tank, and the grill (pilot light didn't work so we had to buy a long lighter to get it started). Don't forget to bring your own bottled water unless you are ok drinking tap water! The house was very clean and comfortable. It is a little far to drive to downtown Waco, but not all that bad if you don't have to make a trip back to the house mid-day and drive back to town. All in all, it was a great little house!
Host communication and assistance was outstanding. Had a small issue with wifi and one msg fixed it all. Clean property ,far enough from the city but close enough to everything you need. Will def. Be staying here again!
