Great place to stay for Baylor and Magnolia Adventures!

This house is so fantastic. Everything that you can possibly need is provided. The house is very well appointed - plenty of comfy beds for everyone and great places to hang out inside and outside the house. Close to downtown Waco shopping and dining and easy to get to Baylor for university functions. We would love to stay here again!

Nice place close to everything

Such an amazing place!! Our hostess thought of everything… beautiful welcome note with a bottle of seasonal wine that was delicious, many coffee choices and creams in the fridge, also snacks, water, and soda’s. The house was decorated nicely with plenty of room to hang out… watch tv and play games. This was a mother and adult daughter trip. We all appreciated the hair dryer and extras like nail polish remover, cotton balls, q-tips, nice shampoo and conditioner, even bubble bath. We may not have used everything but it was great how well stocked it was… the toilet paper was even soft. The location was close to everything and we had a blast!! We would all highly recommend staying here!!

Great Homecoming weekend!

Perfect place for our family to stay while visiting our two Baylor students. Close to campus and downtown amongst the beautiful homes on Austin Avenue. Very easy for our students to come by and visit with lots of gathering space. Love how the closet off the foyer was converted to a “welcome center.” And the robes came in very handy after getting soaked to the bone in a game day downpour!

Friends who had gathered on zoom during the pandemic came to meet (some for the first time) in person for a girls weekend. The little cottage was so lovely! The hosts were responsive. The place was less than 10 minutes by car from everything in Waco. We had a great time!

Excellent Option for a Trip to Baylor/Waco

We had a fabulous experience in Waco. The property was absolutely as described, and our host could not have been kinder. She left us a bottle of wine, and allowed us to check-in a few hours early which was incredibly helpful to our family. Location is safe and the neighborhood is great. Really convenient for a visit to Baylor and just a 2 minute drive to Magnolia. We would definitely stay here again.
