About this property

Pecan Hill House

Summary:

Cozy, comfortable historic home centrally located in Waco surrounded by mature shade trees. 12 minutes from downtown and all that Magnolia has to offer without all the hustle and bustle. Built in 1947 and fully renovated to provide all the amenities and conveniences you have come to expect from Waco's historic homes. The neighborhood setting is an up and coming working class area with busy families.



The Space:

Surrounded by a large fenced in lot, plenty of room to toss a ball, BBQ on the propane grill or simply enjoy the fresh air. Parking is accessed off 27th street, driveway is steep but please park in the driveway and not on the street as street parking is not allowed. Herring is a connector road that brings shoppers from East Waco into downtown for all the popular stores and dining Waco offers. Conveniently accessed and can be busy on the weekends.



The Neighborhood:

The Dean Highland neighborhood was established to house staff from the original Hillcrest hospital which is just up the street. The neighborhood is diverse and there is a walking trail around the parking lot at the hospital (which is no longer an operational hospital) There are "Fixer Upper" featured homes sprinkled throughout the neighborhood.



Getting Around:

Public transit is available and there is a bus stop a quarter mile from the this house.



Uber is available in Waco.

Cute home!

We stayed only one night to attend a family get together. The home was just as it is listed. Home was clean and had a cute personalized welcome sign when we entered. They also had little food items which was such a nice bonus. It is in a good location in Waco. I would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Wouldn’t recommend!

Property Manager pulled up broad daylight with the police and advised us that only 6 people were supposed to be staying there which it was less but she seen family visiting from out of town due to a death in the family! Only 5 people stayed there but apparently she was lurking and thought different !

Nice Home, Noisy Street

The home was great and the host thought of every detail. Being on a corner of a busy road, it was very noisy at night but each bedroom has sound machines. The neighborhood was a little rough but we didn’t feel unsafe and it seems that much of Waco looks like that. All in all, we had a wonderful time and would stay here again.

Cute place for a girl’s weekend!

My friends and I stayed here for the weekend as a girls getaway and loved it. The place was clean and definitely decorated in Magnolia worthy fashion. We loved the little touches like chocolates on the side tables and beverages in the fridge for us. Great location to be close to magnolia and downtown, the neighborhood definitely isn’t super sketchy like one of the reviews mentioned, though it’s not necessarily a fancy part of town. We felt very safe though and the other houses on the street were cute and clean. Comfy beds too, and lots of helpful touches like noise machines and fold up chairs for extra seating. We all agree we’d stay there again!

Clean, bring ear plugs

Host was great once we connected. Home had fresh flowers in every room, was clean, had a washer and dryer, was comfortable. The king bed is in the front room next to a major road. Road noise was noisy! We finally bought ear plugs and were able to sleep through the night. The host brought us fresh baked cookies upon arrival and couldn’t have been nicer.

False advertising…be warned

I got in late with my son, traveling to come visit Baylor. When we arrived we did not feel safe to come out of our car. Sirens were going off, dogs barking incessantly, chain linked fence you have to walk through to stay in the unit. When we entered in, shams were torn, leather chairs tattered, and sirens and dogs continued barking. We decided to leave to go stay at a hotel. I tried to reach out several times to the manager and didn’t hear back for quite some time (not until 11:30 pm) I asked for a refund because we didn’t feel safe. She said “no way” and was not understanding at all. I highly suggest not staying here even though she has “Chip and Joanna Gaines items” in the trailer. Regardless of the police department being close, that didn’t make us feel any safer. Please be warned.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Feb, 2023
I want to respond to to this review, because the things that Mindy said are wildly exaggerated. Mindy texted me the night of her stay asking for a refund because she saw a police car on the road and didn’t feel safe, however there is a police station about 2 blocks away, if anything she should feel more safe to know there are police nearby. After Mindy called me she then proceeded to send message after message harassing me and threatening me with all the bad things she would say online and at Baylor university if I didn’t give her a refund. I then contacted Vrbo and they advised me no to answer any more harassing messages from Mindy. The house is not a trailer, it is a home that was built in the 80s, and it was recently renovated and calling that was a low jab. There is a small chain link fence around the back yard for the safety of children ect…that to me is not a bad thing. There happen to be a small tear that was 1/2 cm long and it had just torn in the washer the day that Mindy was supposed to stay I take things like that very seriously, but unfortunately my cleaners didn’t have a spare to change it, Mindy said she had proof of shredded shams but failed to provide said proof. The neighbor across the street 3 houses down has a small inside puppy, and I just can’t believe she could say that kind of thing about dogs. All pictures are available on the Vrbo website, you can check them out for yourselves those are the real updated photos. I hope you have great stays and wonderful travels!!

Cute house, great for families

The house is great for families. It also has a lot of small touches that other rentals might not offer, such as cordless phone chargers and alarm clocks with built-in sleep noises. The roads around the house are pretty busy, but the house is within 15 minutes of all the major attractions around Waco.

It was the perfect mother daughter weekend, and this was the perfect house for us. The house was decorated adorably!
