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 and Comfy

The house has been nicely renovated and is very comfortable. The neighborhood is on the historic side. Some new/remodeled home, some older homes. It was a very peaceful place.

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

Wonderful stay!

Just completed a four night stay with my husband and adult daughter as we made our first trip to Texas to view the solar eclipse. This property was absolutely ideal for a family stay! We had everything we needed and then some! Separate bedrooms and baths provided privacy and comfort and the living/kitchen/dining rooms gave us plenty of great space to come together. The backyard deck with its comfy furniture provided a great spot for eclipse viewing, and nice spot just to enjoy the sunshine! The whole house was spotlessly clean; which was much appreciated. Ashley was a very responsive host! There was a tiny glitch with the fridge which Ashley alerted us to before we even arrived; but she was right on top of it and instantly provided a solution so our stay was not impacted in any way. We understand that unexpected things happen and a responsive host that wants to ensure you are comfortable is the best! Thank you Ashley for offering such a nice property for our first visit to Texas! Would highly recommend!

Quick overnight stay on a road trip

As advertised, it was an older home that had been renovated. The neighborhood also had older homes. It was quiet without any concerns noted for the one night we stayed. It was very clean & nicely done, although the carpet in the extra bedrooms could stand to be replaced. The master bathroom was very nice. The beds were very comfortable. I would stay here again and would recommend to a friend.

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.
