Our stay at the Blue Bonnet Cottage was one of our most convenient stays with VRBO. The owner made everything so easy. Every aspect was exactly as described and so comfortable. The owner was extremely responsive and helpful. We plan to stay here in the future!
My husband and I absolutely love Waco, especially this neighborhood. Our favorite things are trying new coffee, shops, and local businesses, spending time outdoors, traveling, and spending time with our family. We enjoy hosting, and can’t wait for you to explore everything that Waco has to offer! Please let us know if you need any specific local recommendations, we would love to include you in to all of our favorite places
Why they chose this property
The Harris Creek neighborhood is really unique. It is a well established neighborhood with mature trees. Legend has it, that the brick from our house is the brick from the original streets of downtown Waco. This area is walkable, less than 20 minutes to get to Magnolia, Baylor, downtown Waco, SpaceX, and the airport.
What makes this property unique
Our property is the perfect getaway, because it offers complete privacy. The unit is behind a gated fence, and a separate from the main house with its own entrance. This unit was also completed in October 2025, so everything is brand new. We live on the property, so we are available if you need anything!
