This was a great stay. The house has been lovingly appointed with great furnishings and necessities. The kitchen and HUGE refrigerator were great. If you had two families or one big one, this house would suit all your needs. We were in Waco during the storms so one day we spent inside all cozied up on the couch watching movies which was a great respite for us. The place is also very close to downtown Waco, there is a coffee shop couple blocks away, a cool bar within walking distance and plenty of shops just a mile or two down the street from the house. Great stay in a quiet and lovely neighborhood.

Besties Waco Weekend

My two besties from high school and I had the time of our lives. We have been friends for 40 years and spent the weekend in this lovely home and sightseeing. The property was beautiful it was close to the Silos and the Magnolia Market . A quick 5 minute drive. It was so comfortable and relaxing. The home was so beautiful. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the front porch and the evenings relaxing in the living room catching up. We had the best time.
