Friends getaway

The house and location was perfect for what we intended to see; the Silos and downtown Waco. I loved the setup of the house and all 5 of us were very comfortable. The patio out back was fantastic and we spent a lot of time there together sitting and visiting. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.

Close to Baylor and Downtown Waco - Great Place!

We spent 4 nights at this home to move our son into Baylor for his freshman year. The home was updated, clean and was less only a 5-minute drive to campus. The rental has everything you need for a weekend stay, 4 comfortable beds, 2 full bathrooms, fully decked out kitchen and plenty of room. We will definitely be looking to stay here again when we come out to visit.

Lovely stay

We just loved this house! The design was gorgeous and the house was very comfortable. Unfortunately my husband was sick the first full day we were here. I was at a conference but he got a lot of rest since the beds were so comfortable and was back to himself the second day. Easy to get to everywhere we needed to be. Looking forward to coming back!

About the host

Hosted by Desiree Johnson

I'm a married mom with a 20 year old. I was in brand marketing for most of my life. As such, I've been fortunate to have traveled the world with my previous career. Yet, I'm creative at heart, having grown up painting with my mom. I love being able to walk into an old house and see the possibilities no one else can.

About 8 years ago, I began to make the transition into owning a few rental homes. My husband and I are completely self-made and practical... hence tend to be "do it your-selfers". So, it is with lots of hard work and sweat equity that we are thrilled to welcome you into our lovely little abode.

Why they chose this property

I loved the neighborhood. It's historical, hip yet quiet and so close to downtown. There are sculptors, artists and professors moving in now all around us. It's just a few blocks to the river walk so I like to jog along the path and see the old bridges spanning the river, or walk to the Farmers Market on Sunday mornings. Our neighbors are peaceful and nice, it's so quiet here, yet close to all!

What makes this property unique

Large, completely fenced and private back yard with towering trees and a large deck. So close to downtown (just blocks to the river walk and just 1.3 miles to the silos., yet such a peaceful and safe neighborhood. Lovely old architecture in surrounding businesses just a block away where you can find neat eateries, a scratch kitchen bakery, brewery and Jamaican café. The house boasts super tall ceilings with lovely windows that give it a light, fresh and airy feel. The open concept with kitchen and living is great for relaxing and visiting.
