The Space:
Things are bigger in Texas – You will truly have space to spread out and enjoy a good night’s rest with two bedrooms having king-sized beds and the remaining three rooms having queen-sized beds. For your comfort, all beds have the highly rated Casper mattresses. There are three full bathrooms so everyone will have easy access. All rooms have a desk so you have your own space to get some work or reading done if needed.

More than just wall art – Throughout the house you will see original paintings and photography. We are excited to be partnering with the Kieran-Sistrunk Fine Art Gallery in Waco to feature and offer for sale several local artists’ work. Not only does this provide a unique environment for the house, but it connects you to some of the creatives in our community.

The Neighborhood:
Location matters – You will be 10 minutes or less from the major attractions Waco has to offer: Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Magnolia Market, Silo District, Downtown District, Cameron Park & Zoo, Brazos River, Dr. Pepper Museum, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, and another Texas icon – an HEB plus! grocery store. You are walking distance from bike rentals, eateries, a brewery, and the Brazos River. The Waco Riverwalk has over seven miles of paved and lighted paths along the shores with water toys available to rent. You are also across the street from Wilbert Austin Sr. Park with its covered playground, basketball courts, etc.

Interaction with Guests:
We live in the area and are accessible by phone if you need anything!

Spacious place to stay

The guide provided was helpful, place was nice and clean, area looks older, but the inside has been remodeled with a nice mid century modern look.

Fun 2-day trip

This house was really great! Very spacious and neatly decorated. They even had a Christmas tree and other decorations up! The house is well stocked with necessary items. The house alarm and locked gate to put the cars inside made us feel safe and secure. Overall, very pleased with our stay here!

Few issues but a good time.

Check in/out -easy Things we noticed: The interior doors were sticking, scrapping the floor and difficult to open and close especially the front bathroom and the back bedroom doors. Low to moderate water pressure in back bath sink and the bath (sink) by the kitchen. Condensation in air conditioning unit in running into the pan. Should probably have it checked. A couple of soft spots in the floor near the end of the island in the kitchen. Biting insects in the back yard around the chairs. Could be fleas, tiny spiders or ants. Should probably need to spray. Things I mentioned before ice maker not working, missing remote for fan/light in bedroom by kitchen, batteries for alarm system and intermittent internet. Would like to know where you got the ceiling lights/fans in the bedrooms. The were awesome. Read the instructions about leaving but we are in the habit of leaving sheets & towels in the laundry room, washing dishes and carrying out trash. All of this because we are all mid 60’s and older. Mostly older. Have a blessed day and we loved the house.
