Thank you Andrew for your kind review. We truly enjoyed hosting you and would love to have you back anytime…
This property is absolutely immaculate and beautiful! It is very close to many activity and wonderful restaurants. We enjoyed outdoor eating at Route 77 (food truck park, very close by). We also enjoyed live music and pizza while sitting by the river at Slowrise. If you want a beautiful drive to overlook the city visit the Bluffs. We will definitely return.!

Marianne. Thank you so much for your kind review. It is so wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your time and your accommodations. We look forward to having you back soon.. Jodie
We were in Waco for a few days before meeting friends in Austin. We were very happy with our accommodations. The house is very cozy and is identical to all the pictures in the VRBO website. Jodie, the owner, was always quick to respond to any questions. The location is close to everything you would want to do. The most we drove was about 15 minutes, most places just 8 minutes! We will definitely stay here again!Lou Anne & Jeff

This is so amazing and we love hearing about your stay. We look forward to hosting you again.
The living room furniture was not very comfortable. The bathroom sink faucets were not clean. The double doors in the bedrooms were hard to lock. The neighborhood wasn’t the best.

Super cute and comfortable! So many thoughtful little details and a very helpful and friendly host. We particularly enjoyed the game table and back deck which make this property unique. We were there to visit our Baylor student and this place was a perfect “home base”. We would book again for sure!
