A very comfortable stay. The home is very clean, rooms are spacious, comfy beds, large kitchen. Large backyard too. Neighborhood is not very walkable, must cross a busy street to get to the lake and side street is busy too, but we were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Very clean property adjacent to Lake Waco

We were very impressed with this spotlessly clean property next to Lake Waco. Another thing we loved was the secure parking inside the gate at the backside of the home and the beautiful shaded yard with the deck.

Great stay

The house appears just as it’s listed. The area is nice and truly 15min from downtown or anything Baylor related. We stayed 5 days and ran out of toilet paper which the homeowner says that “they don’t supply for the whole stay”, which is my only negative.
