About this property

Private Country Cottage 17 minutes from Baylor and the Silos

You will love this charming, quiet, stylish cottage nestled in a country setting on several acres, yet still only 17 minutes from downtown Waco, Texas.

The bedroom features both a comfortable King-size bed, as well as a practical bunk-bed, sleeping up to 4 very comfortably. The unique bathroom has an antique clawfoot tub and shower and very creative sink, vanity and small closet. From here it's easy to enjoy the surrounding country life out in the very private back yard or to sit around the fire ring under the stars! When rested up, experience fully the restaurants and shops of the quickly growing and ever popular downtown Silo district or take in the Baylor University sports or culture. The friendly and hospitable hosts will make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need for an enjoyable stay.

About the host

Hosted by Therese Roberts

Host profile image

We have been married 32 years and LOVE working together on projects that create inviting community spaces. We both have a passion for hospitality and really like meeting new people. When we are not working together around the property, (the garden, landscaping, and fixing allll the things), we are either visiting with Mark's parents (who live next door), catching up with one of our four adult children, helping out at church, or biking/running/ walking/ swimming wherever and whenever possible. We love to read, listen to music, practice our two step, and spend time with friends.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property in 2019 when Mark's parents were ready to sell and move next door to family. We loved the great old trees, the small house in a large park like setting, and the perfect out building we envisioned as a guest house/cottage. Mark took the little building down to the studs in places; he added windows, took out doors, built the kitchen cabinets, created the rustic bathroom, enclosed the hallway between the bath and living space (it was initially a muddy walk to the bathroom) and so much more. He was the brains behind the red refrigerator which became the inspiration piece for much of the decoration decisions in the kitchenette/lounge area.

What makes this property unique

The Bluebonnet Inn is a private little get-away in a country setting. Just look around--our neighbors have goats, sheep, cows, horses, ponies, and chickens. And even though the guest house is entirely private and separate from the main house, sharing the same property allows us to do what we do best--offer warm hospitality to our customers.
