About this property

German Schmear house

Our place is Centrally Located in Waco. You are close to a Target, a Starbucks and HEB...not far from Baylor and Magnolia. The house is tucked away on a peaceful, quiet street. The layout of our house provides a big open living space that is great for families (with kids) and big groups. If you love to cook, our kitchen is a great space to host.

Come stay in our Newly Renovated German Schmear house. 1970s Ranch-style turned European Eclectic. Plenty of room with a great open floor plan. Natural light throughout. We are located around 10-15 Minutes from downtown, Magnolia Silos, Baylor & McLane Stadium.

Perfect for a visit to Magnolia Market

We had a short trip to The Silos, Magnolia Market and Magnolia Table . The house is very close to all theses and Baylor University as well. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels, fans for each bedroom and kitchen supplies. The check out procedure was simple. We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend celebration!

We came to Waco to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. It was the perfect place to rest after each event We had plenty of room for five adults To spread out yet, be close together. My husband and I grew up in Waco and I actually grew up right down the street from where we stayed so it was so nice to reminisce and enjoy the neighborhood again so close to everything we needed: shopping restaurants, and all the activities we had a great day thanks for sharing your home

Great stay!

Extremely clean. We used 3 of the beds and all were reported to be very comfortable. Sheets were sooo soft. Communication with owners was spot on. Stay here, if you want, because of the Fixer Upper connection. More so stay here because it is clean and a very comfortable home!

It was a lovely stay! Represented well on line. I must have missed that there is another guest house rental/converted garage on the property. Would be great for bigger group! Will keep in mind for next girls trip and rent both.

Excellent experience

What a treat staying in one of the homes Chip and Joanna renovated. The first floor certainly had the Gaine’s stamp on it. The second floor was fine but nothing compared to the first floor. Highly recommend if you are a Fixer Upper fan.

Fantastic Home for Magnolia Experience

We spent 6 fun filled days exploring Waco for Spring Break and celebrating a family birthday. We are fans of Fixer Upper and Magnolia Network shows so it was fun to see all the places (and some faces) we’ve seen on our favorite shows. The German Schmear house is a great location and the owners are the best we’ve ever encountered! And we VRBO a lot. If you love Magnolia like we do or you’re looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Waco, this is a great home to book!

German Schmerer

The property itself was clean and pleasant but there were some caviates which you should know about. First the back of the house has a converted garage which was renamed the cottage. The address is difficult to see so we had individuals attempting to get in our house and were Shining flashlights on the house and waking up our guests. People thought someone was breaking in and it was unsettling. Second neighbors played music till late in the night EXTREMELY loud which disallowed sleep. Finally the place needs bug control. Many cockroaches
