We enjoyed our stay here. The property is very convenient. It’s a quiet working class neighborhood. Be sure to drive a few blocks over and see the stunning homes nearby. We felt very safe and had easy access to main roads. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute Waco House

This adorable cottage was so conveniently located to all the things. The Magnolia complex, downtown, Baylor, it was within 10 minutes of everything. Very clean property. Only downside is that mattresses had seen better days and one of the sofas was so uncomfortable we couldn’t even use it. Everything else was great!

Quiet and peaceful stay

We stayed in this cottage for 2 nights as we were on a family road trip. Plenty of space and had everything we needed during our stay. The neighborhood is peaceful quiet, just minutes away from downtown with lots of shopping and many food choices! I would book this cottage if we visit Waco again.

Anniversary Getaway

We were in town with framily for our anniversary. The Central Cottage was just that, centrally located for all our plans. The cottage was large enough for our group of 6 adults and was clean. Loved the backyard area, but only got to use it one night for a small fire. Would definitely stay again.

Great family weekend

My family and my sister's family rented this cute cottage for the weekend in order to visit my daughter, who is a student at Baylor. We loved how close it is to campus and to downtown. And we loved being able to stay all together instead of at a hotel. We will definitely rent this place again!
