It's even better than the pictures. Everything was comfortable and stylish. The backyard is big. Josh and Jill were very accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful place to watch the miraculous solar eclipse.

Beautiful home and very relaxing

Four siblings and two spouses travelled from the Province of Saskatchewan in Canada to visit Texas, as this is where our father grew up. We went to the area he was, but also wanted to see Magnolia in Waco. The cottage was so spacious and decorated beautifully! It felt luxurious! We gathered around the large dining table to visit in the evening, and to eat a home cooked breakfast in the morning. We felt at home. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

In need of some maintenance…

My friends and I recently visited Waco for Spring at the Silos and stayed in this cute bungalow. The kitchen was well stocked, the home had beautiful furnishings and the beds were very comfortable. It has the potential for a five star rating that many others have given it. However, there were several maintenance items that need attention and the outside was very neglected. We were not able to enjoy the fire pit as we had hoped. I shared my feedback with the owner but didn’t get a reply. I hope that they spend some time getting the property back to the condition that everyone sees in the photos.
