Everything was nice. I would only suggest more towels are needed or to be told to bring more and to switch out the comforters for summer weather.

Great last minute getaway

My family decided last minute to take a short trip from Austin to Waco. This house had everything we needed and more! Ashley checked in on us multiple times and made our experience wonderful! It was super close to everything we wanted to see in Waco and the house itself is beautiful and spacious.

Listing not up to date

The house was cute but the online pictures were several years old and didn’t represent the current state of the home especially the back porch. Neighborhood was OK but houses were all in need of updates.

Nice place. Great AC, had a little trouble logging into Netflix and getting the tv sorted but finally figured it out. Shower in master dropped a lot of water outside the shower, really suggest a curtain or something to keep it in. Bed was comfy. Pillows not so much but no place (even hotels have good pillows). I did not like that there was no desk to work, had to work at the table and there was hair left in the sinks, around the toilet, and in the restroom. Eww.

Girls Trip

Weekend trip with my daughter and grand daughters. The house is lovely and well appointed! I love the renovation. It is compact, but the rooms are spacious. The girls had fun with corn hole in the backyard, and we could easily keep an eye on them. Although we decided not to bring the dog, the dog bowls and treats were a thoughtful extra. I would highly recommend this property!

Mid-Week stay

We loved our time here in Waco. During the day we watching basketball as our kids were playing in the State Basketball tournament, but the mornings and evenings at the Waco Victorian were great. The house was clean and inviting and the 3 bathrooms were very helpful for my wife and I, my father-in-law, and my daughter & her friend to not be in each other's way. The neighborhood is an older neighborhood with a mixed newly renovated homes with some that desperately need renovating, but the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The baked Bliss bakery just around the corner was amazing and we went every morning we were there. They don't open til 9am, so don't go too early. We may definitely stay here again next February if we find ourselves in the State finals again.

Cute Victorian!

This house was perfect for our family group of three; we each had our own bedroom/bath. We loved having wine and appetizers on the deck and were happy to have a well-stocked kitchen especially with coffee!

Lots of CLEAN PRIVATE space in a small property

If you are looking for a well kept space where you don’t need a yard, this is it! The patio has two nice seating areas and the home has three full baths with two attached to bedrooms! The kitchen has all the basics to cook! The internet and TV functioned well 🤗

Baylor visit

We came to visit Baylor and I chose to stay close to campus. I live old things so your house fit the bill. It did not disappoint and the three bathrooms with two teenage girls was a plus. If she decides to go to Baylor we will be staying again! Kathy boysen
