It worked for a place to stay, but needs improvement on climate control and front door screen replaced. The climate control debices are very noisey and makes sleep difficult. Otherwise inside done nicely but too crammed with furniture
Needed to be in Waco for a week to help my daughter with a large Baylor event. This was the perfect place - I LOVED the tub! It’s only a block from I-35 so could hear the interstate noise but not a deal breaker. I was there during a winter cold spell and the cottage was warm and cozy.There is no washer/dryer even though the listing says there is. The nespresso machine with the complimentary pods was a nice touch!
It’s a very comfortable little house to just sit back and relax and having all the eating places around and close to places you would like to see in Waco.
Perfect size house for a weekend get-a-way for my mom and I. Had everything we needed on site and close location to the Silos. Only negatives were the highway noise and dark neighborhood (we arrived in late evening after the sun set).
The heating system is not very efficient. The one in the bedroom goes on and off. This wasn’t good with the cold weather we had. We had no hot water the morning we left, so no showers!! We had an important meeting on our way to San Antonio and we were uncomfortable having not showered!
This is a cute little place perfect for our needs. Very clean! Air container a little noisy so bring ear plugs, but beds comfortable. Close to Baylor which is why we were in town. Would stay again!!

Everything was perfect, except the main bed was terrible uncomfortable and the bed squeaked with every move.
Perfect little gem. Small home as shown in listing but everything was strategically placed to fit perfectly and comfortably. Every little decorative detail was just lovely.
Great location to everything downtown. It is an older surrounding area of homes, as many areas are near downtown, but I never once felt unsafe. I will stay here 100% again.
The location was excellent. The home was small but was good for just me. The home was located to restaurants and to the workshop that I needed to attend.
It was a quaint little house that we enjoyed our stay at. Loved the decor and it had everything we needed other than we only had 1 coffee pod for 2 people. The information booklet that was there was helpful when deciding where to go for dinner. Would definately stay again.

This property was easy to find, and close to everything you might want to see in Waco. Not really walking distance, but a very short drive to Magnolia. Perfect place to stay for a couple, small family, or girls' trip.
