My husband, senior dog and I stayed at Lu's Place while our home was undergoing renovations. While we live 6 minutes away, we felt like we were on a mini vacation. Those who are out of town searching will notthrough the endless listings that seem to mesh tog
Our family has stayed here multiple times and it has been PERFECT for our family of 3 couples! Immaculately clean, beautiful house and property with responsive, friendly hosts. Can’t ask for a better stay!!
Wanted a quick getaway from Dallas. The wife, dog, and me. Safe and quiet neighborhood. The house was absolutely spotless. Big backyard for the old dog. Great home base to explore Waco.
Girls Getaway weekend and enjoyed our stay at Lu’s Place. Quiet and safe location. The home was spotless (high on my list) and more than well- equipped. Decorated nicely and furniture and appliances are well maintained. Spacious and 3 separate bedrooms were well appointed. Easy check-in. We really enjoyed our stay and host was so responsive and helpful. You won’t regret staying at Lu’s!
It was a little farther from the silos than we expected but the house and the street it’s located on is very nice and the price compared to others was also very good. Waco seems to be a small town so nothing was too far away.
Feels like house sitting for someone rather than a rental. Plenty of dishes and utensils. Comfortable furniture, nice back porch and a quiet neighborhood.
We had a wonderful stay! Our hosts went above and beyond to make us comfortable. They were prompt with all communication. They were very helpful with a couple of situations that arose.
This weekend our whole family came in to celebrate Baylor Homecoming and it truly felt like we were “coming home” to this great property! Always thoughtfully ready with great, speedy communication from the lovely hosts. We can’t recommend this place highly enough!
The hosts’ attention to detail is one of the best parts about this fantastic property! Every light switch and drawer and cabinet is labeled, so we never had to fumble around, trying to figure things out! It’s a great place!!
This was hands-down one of our best experiences ever! The house was perfect for our family of 3 couples and the yard was perfect for our 2 dogs. The hosts was so gracious and made us feel so welcome! Can’t recommend this property highly enough!!!
Beautiful, sparkling clean home. The neighborhood was so nice and our puppy loved the spacious backyard. Very comfortable place to land after a busy and emotional day moving our youngest into the Baylor dorms.
