Wonderful home for a trip to Waco

The Lyle house was a great home base for us as we experienced all things Waco had to offer. The house was neatly kept and you can tell the owners take pride in their hospitality. We came with small children and the house had games to keep them occupied and a great room for them to stay in. We appreciate everything the house had to offer!

Great for reconnecting

Great place for families to gather from two states to meet with friends in Waco. The home is smartly appointed, well supplied and spacious for gathering with or without children. There is space both inside and outside for conversation or play. The property manager was quick to respond to minor needs. Great location near our friends, easy access. We certainly recommend it.

Charming, fully stocked house!

We loved our stay at the Lyle house! House was clean and well stocked. There were 4 of us - 2 sets of Mothers and daughters, on an official college visit to Baylor - and we had more than enough room. We loved having a kitchen to cook our current Baylor bear a birthday dinner, and the beds were super comfortable. Loved the backyard patio, but would have referred more outdoor lighting, so it could be enjoyed after dark. Overall it was a wonderful stay. These 2 families hope to return several times while our kids are in Waco.

It was warm and inviting with a unique charm and nostalgia that we thoroughly enjoyed. The furnishings were fun, the yard was well maintained . All it was the perfect accomodation for pets, grandkids and grandparents alike. We visit waco several times a year and this will become our go to place for future family gatherings.

House was perfect for our Sister's Reunion!

This house is old and a little dated, but it is very roomy and comfortable! The kitchen could use another light or two, but it is large and very well appointed with plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware. We had no problem cooking a meal and enjoyed working in the kitchen. The beds are super comfy and the showers were great! The backyard is very big with cornhole set up and a nice firepit. There was no wood and we forgot to buy some, but it looked like a great setup. It was also close to downtown Waco and the Magnolia Silo district so that's a definite plus! We also enjoyed the Homestead Craft stores, which were maybe a 20 minute drive! Definitely a great choice for our sister's reunion!

A week in Waco

Over all it was what I expected based on the pictures. Older home in an older neighborhood. Was awesome to have big backyard but toys where sun rotted I would suggest putting them in something to protect them. Washer had issues and would not go through the full cycle. Kitchen well stocked except only two forks. The extras were well appreciated like the local information left for things to do in places to eat. Very family friendly place.

Comfortable Hotel Alternative for Families

The house was very clean and accommodating. The owner provided everything needed for a comfortable stay and then some. There were much more kitchen tools provided then other rentals I have stayed at. The backyard was perfect for making s'mores, laying in the hammock and for my small children to run around. My biggest complaint, which would not be a concern for many, is that the house is very loud (floors, doors, heater, etc.). This made it hard for some to sleep while others were awake. Also, not specific to the house, but we found it hard to find a grocery store, restaurants and gas station (not out-of-gas) nearby. Overall, though, we had a pleasurable experience. If you have small children, you must visit Cameron Park Zoo and Mayborn Museum. The Historic Suspension Bridge was also a hit.

Enjoyed the house, but not the yelping dog

This is a charming older house that was well-appointed and had everything we needed (including a bottle of wine for the adults and candy for the kids.) While I understand the need for the management company to ensure rules are followed, we didn't appreciate the threat of having our reservation canceled for not immediately returning their rental agreement. (We had already paid the entire rental fee, and the threat to cancel seemed unnecessary. ) One of the neighbors had a dog that was left outside all night - even in the rain - and was obviously in extreme distress. It barked all night long...a horrible high pitched yelp that was totally ignored by its owner. Waco has such potential. But it's dirty and the residents seem apathetic to the conditions. We went to the zoo and park. The zoo was fun, but the park was absolutely filthy. And none of the families there (whom I presume were Waco residents) cared a whit. I took a trash bag and picked up while they watched gape-mouthed. Obviously. the condition of the city is not the fault of the property owner or management company, but it's part of the experience. If that matters to you, I'd recommend staying in a different city.

Stay

The light by the bed in the master bedroom was broke, flopping all over the place. The towel rack in the master bathroom was ready to fall off the wall. I tightened as good as possible with my fingernail. The toilet seat in the guest bathroom was loose. My friend about fell on the floor and she’s 70. Every time we walked across the floors, we felt like we were gonna fall through them, and our socks were absolutely black. The vents in the house for the air conditioner has black dirt or mold or something all the way around them. Other than that Waco is beautiful and the people were wonderful. I have asthma and I think the mold around the vents made me ill and my friend got sinus issues

Just What We Needed

It was my wife's birthday weekend so we booked a couple nights down in Waco. We have 5 kids ranging from 3 mo. - 8 yrs and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well. They especially loved the tv room in the back with the games and couch. It was raining so we didn't get to fully enjoy the fire pit and yard games but our kids got in what they could on the back porch. Nothing about the house or the check out process was difficult or hard to figure out which honestly takes a load off your shoulders when you're out of town and in an unfamiliar place. Really it was such an easy weekend and just what we needed.
