Lovely property and exactly as listed! The kitchen was well stocked, lots of seating, extra towels, blankets. Nice location as well! 5 min from downtown and lovely neighborhoods to walk in close by after grabbing some coffee at Pinewood.

Nice stay for family weekend
We enjoyed our stay here. It was a nice space to gather and good pricing. The location is actually pretty accessible to downtown and Baylor. You can be anywhere in 10 minutes.
My husband and I stayed here for our daughter's Baylor graduation. Perfect location - close to campus and Waco restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay here again.

Great house
The house was great! Super clean. The proximity to Pinewood was a great perk.
We had a great time during our stay! It had everything we needed plus some games that my children enjoyed. It is close to magnolia farms which is why we were visiting. I would book and stay again.
This house was darling! We stayed here two nights so that my daughter could tour Baylor and we could have a shopping day at Magnolia and all the cute boutiques. The beds were comfortable and the house was very clean. It is about three houses down from Pinewoods, which is one of the most popular coffee bars in town. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!
This cottage was located close to everything! It was clean and cozy so we leisurely explored the area with the ability to stop by the house to refresh. Love the area and we’ll this cottage again !
Loved this spacious, comfortable house. It was very convenient to what we planned to do in Waco. I was sorry we didn't stay longer to enjoy the fire pit.
