The house was wonderful and all things considered for being how historic it is. It’s pretty well maintain, needs a little bit of TLC, but they’re slowly but surely taking care of everything. Having a cake to congratulate our son on his graduation was very sweet! Maybe we’ll see you again! Perfect for larger groups or families. Everyone had their own bathroom!!!

Great house

Our extended family came to Waco for the eclipse and was not disappointed- with either the eclipse or this beautiful house. We had people ages 5-75 and the house was great for everyone. The 75 year old is disabled and gets around on a scooter. The host worked with us to make sure the house worked for her. The backyard and porch are great for grilling and hanging out. Overall, a fantastic place for anyone looking to host a family/friends get together.
