Quiet Convenient Location

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage located not too far but secluded away from the city noise and bustle. The house is perfect for a couple and the large yard is a bonus. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our needs.

Absolutely perfect.

A quiet, well-maintained cottage. I brought my dog along, and they didn't charge any extra fees. They just asked that I clean up after it, which was a very reasonable request.

Wonderful historic home with lots of character

The little house is from the 1900's but has lots of charm. We loved that it is nestled behind the large brick mansion home. We saw the owners doing their activities, but we were not disturbed during the vacation. The landscaping and grounds were so much fun to explore with our 2 med. sized dogs. Lots of little hills and fun places to walk. We enjoyed being centrally located to all of the Magnolia shops and restaurants. The neighborhood dogs were a bit noisy at night, but that was really the only noise disturbance. We enjoyed playing board games, watching Netflix and then exploring Camden Park too. Very nice relaxing get away for us and our dogs. We would definitely want to stay here again!

Baylor

We were bringing our son to Baylor for his freshman year. We booked this wonderful cottage because we were close enough to Baylor and all the other Waco hot spots. Everything was clean and neat and if we had any questions, they were answered immediately! We highly recommend this cottage and we will book again!

Waco stay

Perfect property for my wife and I. Great neighborhood. Property is well maintained. The only disappointment is the vrbo app. Our future stays are not listed. It is confusing for me to navigate. And I could not communicate with the host

Waco weekend

Traveled to Waco for Magnolia and half-Ironman. Saw and did so much more, as this property is close to everything Waco offers. Spoke w the hosts several times as this cottage is on their expansive property. Very nice knowing owners/hosts readily available. Able to have our 2 small dogs with us. Our memory of this Waco trip was greatly enhanced because of this accommodation.
