3 night stay.

Everything seemed to go really well. We appreciated the amenities.Some grab bars in the tub would’ve been nice. Since we are senior citizens, it was a little insecure, taking a shower.Communication with the owner was seamless. We had an issue where the toilet would not flush we would definitely stay there again. correctly, and that was repaired within two hours.

We found a jewel!

We think this was one of the best experiences we have had with vacation rental, beautifully decorated with much attention to detail. We really felt at home. The cute little kitchen had everything you need to fix full meal. We ate out but we did have breakfast before we left for the day. The neighborhood seems a little creepy but we went for walks daily and never felt in peril. My husband would have preferred a more comfy chair in living area. Plenty of interesting books sprinkled throughout the house.

Little House. Loads of Charm.

This house was the perfect backdrop for a sisters weekend away. We loved the open plan, spacious bathroom and comfortable bedroom. The little porch, curated decor, and well apointed kitchen provided a sweet place to connect. We walked to the suspension bridge to watch the sunset on our last night. We would love to return.

Very nice clean and quiet area. The power went out about 5:15 am. There was no emergency number for that. Every call to Oncor ended with the fact that there is no meter number or account number to give them and no emergency management number to call. Oncor can not help you with just a street address. After an hour and a half he power did come back on. However, it was stressful not knowing whether or not you would have to make plans for the next because the A/C was not working.

This place was an amazing place to stay. The house was exactly as described and pictured in the ad. The house was in walking distance of downtown. We walked to the Magnolia Silos across the Suspension Bridge. The bedroom was very roomy. It had a laundry room which was great. The kitchen and living room were nice as well. We had a little welcome present when we arrived, which was much appreciated. We would definitely stay here again.

STELLAR

The cottage was quaint, cozy, comfortable, & enjoyable. It was convenient in that it was a good location, especially for rest breaks between morning & evening activities. And, it was within the range for us to be picked up by the tour guide for our wine tour. That was a major advantage, especially because it was raining that day. The neighborhood was acceptable & satisfying. The wine & snacks left for us was a very kind gesture, & were enjoyable. We will definitely be back! Waco was spectacular!

The house was nice. Had everything we needed. Plenty of paper supplies etc. The only drawback is the location, though it didn’t cause any issues. And there were no check out instructions.

I cannot say enough about this little gem. We spent three days in Waco and this place was perfect - beautifully decorated, quiet location but close to everything, a great place to relax. This rental had everything you would need and the hosts were very thoughtful with their welcome package too! You will not be disappointed ❤️

Nice property

We had a good experience at this property. Very eclectic style, which was neat. Home was clean, check in was easier than most I have stayed in, and there were welcome gifts on the counter such as a bottle of wine and candy. While we don't drink, we certainly appreciated the thoughtfulness. We would stay here again without hesitation.

This place is amazing. Way better than a hotel. It’s on the East side of the brazos which can be a little more unsafe but this specific property is in a nice area and we felt totally safe even having front and back door open for a breeze. The bedroom is great kitchen nice and it even has laundry. A true mini house that my wife and I will be using again. We walked from this property to the Magnolia Silos with no problem. About 4 miles round trip.

The best weekend getaway!

East Riverside cottage was a dream weekend with my husband. Listing was exactly as described. Everything that you can think of they had, very well stocked. Very clean! I thought the candy and the wine upon arrival was such a nice touch. I also really appreciated the extra toiletries in the restroom. The bed was very comfortable. I loved the decor.
