About this property

Historical Morrow House Season 5 Fixer Upper, Featured In Cottage Style Magazine

Our historical home was on the first episode of season 5 of Fixer Upper. When Mrs. Gaines toured the house as the second option they called it #TheRealFixerUpper! It was not a home ultimately designed by the Gaines's but we are honored to be a small part of the filming. The excitement for the home was captured best when Joanna Gaines said "I feel like a dog with a T-bone steak, I am like please give ME the T-bone steak!"
Since its renovation in 2017 The Morrow House has been featured in Cottage Style Magazine, Modern Farmhouse Style Magazine and Modern Texas Living Magazine. The Morrow House is also featured in the new book titled "Historic Homes of Waco Texas".

WE ARE IMPLEMENTING INCREASED EFFORTS TO PROTECT GUESTS DURING THE CORONA VIRUS. LEAVING A 24 HOUR WINDOW FOR CLEANING BETWEEN GUESTS AND CLEANING/CHANGING OF EVERY LINEN IN THE HOME BETWEEN GUESTS. ALL CLEANING SUPPLIES FOR COUNTERS & HARD SURFACES THAT WE USE ARE CLOROX BLEACH DISINFECTANTS.

The Morrow House is a 130 year old home restored by Crown Construction in 2017. They and designer Amy Normand took elaborate care to restore the huge pocket doors, original trim around the home and refinish by hand all 33 windows to bring it back to its original stately presence. It is a beautiful piece of Waco history and there was no expense was spared in the detail, design or furnishings in this charming three bedroom three bathroom home! From the large chandeliers to the tiniest of trim work, this home is one of the most beautiful homes in Waco!

The home is owned by Kimberlee Rodriguez and her family. They are thrilled to share this Central Texas treasure with visitors while they explore the wonders of Waco. The home has a beautiful living space, fully equipped kitchen, and a large dining area for everyone to gather for dinner, games and great conversation. Our beds are luxurious and each bedroom has a private bath.

The Morrow House is close to great shopping, delicious places to eat and Baylor University!

A bit about the Rodriguez Family:
Travel, and shared experiences have always been a central part of our family time. In today’s world the demands of career and activities can pull us in many directions, but getting out of town together or sharing unique experiences has always given us meaningful ways to connect and recharge. When we moved to Waco three years ago an extraordinary journey began for each of us. One of the unexpected blessings was that we had over 80 houseguests during the first year! Everyone wanted to visit and explore Waco and we were his or her guides. It was great for us to show Central Texas to our friends and family because it encouraged us to get out and explore in new ways, and gave us new opportunities to get to know our new home. Each of our guests has had different ideas of what they want to see and do when they visit; some want to drive in the country and shop old antique shops or see pastures full of cattle. Others want to watch a Baylor athletics event and eat at one of our great local restaurants. Some want to shop all weekend and others want to walk along the Brazos and see lightning bugs! However all of them leave here loving the people and the pace of life in Waco.

After Amy and I met, I felt that the Morrow House was a part of our family journey here in Waco. The home’s beauty, history and resurrection story make it a beautiful haven for people to escape to. Our family, including my parents who moved here to join us two years ago, is thrilled to have an opportunity to share Waco with our guests from all corners of the world as we’ve been doing for the last three years.

Great stay!
I spent one night here with two coworkers and I wish we could have been there longer. It was exactly what we needed, even for such a short trip. Kimberlee was SUPER quick in responding to my questions. The house is charming, well-appointed, and with a helpful layout for my group's needs (I imagine it would be for family or friend vacations, too).

Winter Waco Trip
This house was just as described. It is a beautiful historic home and was extremely well appointed. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like leaving the lights on, and home baked cookies. I loved that it was well stocked with paper products and soap/shampoo/towels/etc. The host has you well prepared for emergency storm outages with lanterns,tools,batteries,and first aid. We had no complaints whatsoever, and would recommend to friends and family without hesitation.

The house was beautiful! Our heat did not work initially and we texted our host and she had a maintenance person there within an hour. Very accommodating. He worked until 8pm on a weekend! Our heat was great afterwards! Overall a wonderful experience. We have a small family gathering for Baylor graduation which made for amazing photos. Thank you so much! Sic em Bears!!

Morrow house
This house was absolutely the most charming house I’ve stayed at! Would highly recommend this house. The only negative I have about this house was the pillows were a bit flat. But I don’t even know if that’s a true complaint. The house had all the comforts of home and had all the essentials we needed for an amazing stay!

Lovely historic home
The ad said the house was “featured” on season 5 of Fixer upper, it was, but it is not a “Fixer upper” house, if that’s what you are looking for. However very much in the same style. The neighborhood is a little sketchy. A beauty bar across one corner, apartments on the other. Construction happening next door. I’m sure this used to be an amazing neighborhood. Because of its age the inside doors don’t close well. Slide bolts have been added to bathroom and bedroom doors. Problem is because the beautiful vintage doors don’t fit exactly, the bolts hold them really tight, hard for kids or those with dexterity issues to open the bolted closed doors We had problem with Wi-Fi and direct tvs, Owner came over to fix, but had to order equipment. Beyond her control- but we missed it after long days.

About the host

Hosted by Kimberlee Rodriguez

Host profile image
Our family believes Central Texas is a special part of the world, and we are honored that visitors are drawn to the unique qualities of Waco and its beautiful community of people and experiences. It is our goal that our guests enjoy the beauty of the home and appreciate its wonderful history and modern elegance.

Why they chose this property

The beauty and history of The Morrow House drew me to it, but its resurrection story made me fall in love. Its such a symbol of life, that once was lost can not only be found, but can be better than before! That's why my husband and I decided to share this home with visitors to Waco. We hope everyone who stays here feels the love and hope that we feel in the Morrow House.

What makes this property unique

From the two rockers on the front porch, to the twinkle lights on the back patio, and every modern amenity and stylish detail in between The Morrow House is designed to please each and every guest.
