The house was nice and the rooms were spacious. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. The location is off the beaten path but it’s convenient to fast food and a grocery store. Ashley communicated effectively from start to finish. Thanks for a great stay!

Waco Charmer

Our family truly enjoyed our time at the Shiplap Cottage. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5! We found everything as described and felt very comfortable. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and we were within a short drive of all the places we needed to visit.The host had excellent communication and was very prompt and polite in attending to our needs and questions.

Cute spot near the Silos

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean and the towels were extra soft and fluffy. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. It’s an older house but you can tell they took great care in refinishing everything. We would stay here again.

Cozy, Quiet, Conveniently Located, & Pet Friendly

This was the perfect place for a family of 6! My family traveled here for a short pass prior to deployment. The home was clean and offered the perfect amount of space inside and out. Everything available was operable. The fenced in back yard with the grill and picnic table was perfect for a steak dinner and burgers, and an area to congregate with our big puppy. The location was the best! Everything we needed was within 15 minutes (groceries, shopping, park, activities for kids, etc). During our stay we visited the Mammoth Museum and Hawaiian Falls. We were so close to EVERYTHING though just not enough time to experience it all. It was not necessary for us to contact the host during our stay.

In town for Baylor Family Weekend. The house was everything we needed for the weekend. Plenty of room for the family. Easy to get to everything. Some may give a side eye to the look of surrounding neighborhood but it was fine.

Beautiful cottage

The way the cottage has been remodelled is aesthetically pleasing. The bedrooms easily and comfortably accomodate a family, especially if you have furbabies !!! Communication with owner was easy. Like a previous reviewer mentioned, location is not the greatest as it is in North Waco neighborhood. Easy access to attractions.
