Everything was clean! The place has been beautifully renovated, not just a hasty flip. The layout and amenities make sense, and we were very comfortable.
The house was both, spacious and cozy. Beds were comfortable, heating and cooling were both on point. (That’s important when the mornings starts at 60 degrees and it’s 80 degrees by lunch). Loved the decor, loved the location- no complaints. I was also pleasantly surprised to find seasonings for cooking already stocked,yay! Did I mention the front porch and backyard? Perfect for my family. I had a great stay!
Waco is a central location for us to drive to to spend time together without any other interruptions. Late mornings drinking coffee and catching up and slow afternoons checking out the town
We loved staying here. Everything was clean and well stocked. I always bring extras (toilet paper, dishwasher pods, etc) and didn't need any of it! The host was easily accessible and the keypad lock made check in a breeze. We would stay again.
We loved our stay here at Sweet Mavie house! The location proximity to all things Magnolia could not be beat. The property was super-clean and had all that we needed. The hosts are laid back and made an effort to make our stay as comfortable and easy-going as possible. We loved all the Magnolia decor touches, too! Thank you for a lovely place to stay on our couples getaway!
We loved our stay at the Movie House! The character of the house shines through with cute, updated touches throughout. We really appreciated the 4 bedrooms with THREE bathrooms! This is worth checking out!
We had a wonderful time. We were on a girls trip, two sisters and a sister-in-law.
The house was very nice and welcoming. We had a great time in Waco, seeing Magnolia, took a tour of the town, just had a great time. Everyone was very friendly, everywhere we went.
We loved staying at this house in Waco! The house was charming, clean, and located in a great spot. There are only beds for 8 and it said it sleeps 10. We had to look around for other bedding and did find an air mattress. But loved the house and would definitely stay again.
Our stay was for 5 sisters ages 69-82 and 2 spouses. We come from New York State, Minnesota and Texas. So Waco was a good spot to meet. And there was the attraction of the Magnolia Market/Silos. The "cottage" fit us well. The living room had comfortable seating for everyone. Perfect as much of our time was spent talking and visiting. Plenty of bathrooms.....comfortable beds and central air conditioning! This was important as temperatures outside were unusually high for the time of year. Overall, the house deserves a high rating.
I can’t say enough positive things about our stay!!! The house was so charming (exactly like the pictures!) & had everything we needed. Check-in was seamless, beds were comfortable, A/C worked great, washer & dryer are very new. All things that seem minor, but can tend to be the luck of the draw with short term rentals. The absolute best part is that check-out was SO EASY. We were basically instructed to not worry about anything, they would take care of it. After traveling cross-country to celebrate our son’s graduation from Baylor we were tuckered out & that was a very nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone coming to Waco.

Pleasant Enough I Guess
We had a fairly pleasant stay . 2 things were wrong about the listing. 1. A comment said the neighborhood wasnt good. It was fine 2. The listing said Magnolia Silos was 2 Streets took over 20min by car to The house was in great shape very comfortable except the beds. One family member had to sleep on the coach because the bed was so hard. Some bedroom doors would not latch.
We loved our stay at this home! It was near Magnolia, downtown, and many other attractions Waco has to offer. The house is in great condition and we truly enjoyed our stay!
We loved this house! It is beautifully decorated, close to everything and very quiet at night. Check in and out was very easy. We will definitely come back!
