We loved our stay at Jesse’s place. Everything went seamlessly from the check-in to check out. The place was clean and beds comfortable. The kids loved the bunk beds and the cool video game in their room along with the outdoor area activities. We will certainly be back the next time we are in Waco. Thank you for a great stay!

Jesse’s place was such a warm, cozy, and beautiful home. Me and my family really enjoyed the outdoor space with corn hole and the kids enjoyed the bunk beds and arcade game. The kitchen was fully stocked and the big island was a nice touch. Easy access to just about everything was a plus! All furniture was very comfortable. Definitely will stay here again! Thank You for hosting us.

Our family of 6 stayed for 3 nights during a recent trip to Texas. We did day trips to Austin and Fort Worth from Waco. The property description was accurate; the house is super cute and very clean! As others mentioned in their reviews the location is great if you are in town to visit the Silos or Baylor. A few of the surrounding streets are still going through revitalization. With that said we greatly appreciated the gated driveway for added privacy and security. But we note that at no time did we feel unsafe. Our kids very much enjoyed the basketball hoop, yard game, and covered outdoor seating area. We would definitely recommend this home to others. The only thing we felt we were missing in our stay were wash cloths and a few more pillows. But really the house was perfect. We went to a Baylor baseball game, went to the park along the river, spent hours at the Silos, designed hats at Ranch Hat Bar, visited the Dr. Pepper Museum, ate at Terry Black’s, Magnolia Table, Cappuccino Cafe, Magnolia Press and Silo Bakery for coffee and treats and even did a Whataburger and In & Out taste test. Day trips with easy drives to Austin for shopping and sights as well as Fort Worth for Stockyard and bull riding event at the Cowboy Coliseum. Really enjoyed our visit!

This place is ADORABLE! They had chips and salsa waiting for us when we arrived. I took my daughter and her friends for a birthday weekend trip and it fit us comfortably. The neighborhood was a little questionable but otherwise I would highly recommend this place. They have it done so cute on the inside and it was nice and cool!
