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.!

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!

I am from the beautiful state of Colorado. I love fitness and being around friends and family… Why I Love Hosting in Texas 🌟
As your host, one of my greatest joys is sharing the true spirit of Texas with guests from near and far. It’s home to a culture of hospitality, wide open skies, and a way of life that makes people feel welcome the moment they arrive.
From the rich history and diverse food scene to the sunsets that paint the horizon, Texas offers something special for everyone. People here are known for their warmth, friendliness, and that “make yourself at home” attitude—which is exactly how I want you to feel during your stay.
Hosting here allows me to connect with amazing travelers like you and give you a taste of what makes Texas unforgettable. Whether it’s sharing local recommendations, pointing you toward hidden gems, or simply making sure you have a comfortable stay, I love being part of your Texas experience.

Why they chose this property

✨ Why I Chose to Host in Waco, Texas ✨
I’m so happy to welcome you to Waco! I chose to host here because this city has such a unique mix of small-town charm and big Texas spirit.
The neighborhood I’m in is close to Baylor University and right near the heart of Waco, which makes it such a special spot. Guests love it because you can easily get to the university, explore local restaurants and shops, visit the Magnolia Silos, and enjoy the vibrant downtown—all just minutes away.
I picked this neighborhood because it’s safe, welcoming, and truly gives you the best of Waco: a lively energy with the comfort of a community feel. Whether you’re here for a game, a campus visit, or just to explore the city, you’ll be right where all the action is while still being able to relax and feel at home.
Hosting here allows me to share the warmth and hospitality of Waco, and I’m so glad you chose to stay!

What makes this property unique
