Wonderful stay

This was our second year staying for our family Christmas! It’s such a great space for a group to visit, play games and enjoy each others company. There was plenty of space for us to spread out as well.

Wonderful spacious historic home

We loved staying here for our family Thanks-mas! It was even bigger than we were expecting with plenty of space for us to spread out. Check in and out process was simple! The house was very cute! The hot water was a little hit and miss if multiple people were trying to shower, but just took a little coordinating. Overall such a great stay and would love to come back and stay again in the future!!

Great House

This is a great home, could use some new couches and chairs, The handrail going upstairs was a little wobbly, but was firm. Due to the high heat in Waco, the yard was not in very good shape. But that was to be expected. Overall, we had a great stay. Nice bedrooms, bathrooms were clean. We would recommend this location to anyone who is planning a trip to Waco.

Lovely Home!!

The home is lovely and has great bed bath linens in all rooms. The kitchen is well equipped. Plenty of outdoor games provided to use in the large backyard which was great for my kids! We even found some toddler toys in a closet. We were only disappointed the photos showed a back yard play set which turned out to no longer be there. Otherwise

Great space, sketchy neighborhood, short on amenities

We paid quite a premium price for a 2 night stay for Baylor's Homecoming. The home and space is great. However, common amenities such as coffee pods for the Keurig, bath/shower soap, shampoo and conditioner were not provided. Roosters crow around 3 am and neighbors had a loud party that the police had to brezk up around midnight.that yh

Family gathering/ bucket list for our sister in law

We had a great stay at the house. The beds are all comfortable and the rooms were spacious enough to play games in. We are here for our sister in law’s bucket list to see Chip and Joanna Gaines, and experience Magnolia Market. We had a problem with the plumbing and the owner promptly provided a plumber, and solved the problem. We also experienced fluctuating Spring temperatures and we were able to adjust the HVAC system with the owner remotely. She is extremely courteous and easy to work with. We will stay there again when we hope to return to Waco again for another amazing family trip.

We enjoyed our stay at Conner House in Waco. The location is convenient to shops and restaurants. Good parking with a spacious backyard. The house is lovely and well appointed. Air quality was good and beds comfy. We enjoyed cooking and felt right at home. Upstairs bathroom could use a grab bar and nonslip in the tub/shower.

This is a beautiful, old historic home. We loved coming back to the house everyday. The property was very clean, with every item you could possibly need to have a relaxing stay. The bedrooms were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything a cook could possibly use. There is a huge refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen which is open to the living room. It was the perfect set up for movie watching and snacking! We will definitely stay here again, the next time we are in Waco! Hats off to the owners!!

Location location! If you are a fan of Waco/ Magnolia this place you want to stay. Everything is quick 10 min. Walk downtown. The house is just outside of downtown and while an older home is very quaint cozy and fun. We did a weekend of five ladies. The beds were a dream to sleep in and the Cozy Furniture downstairs was fantastic for sipping wine and catching up. Highly recommend.
