Graduation vacation

The property was amazing! We couldn't believe the cleanliness and all the details. It was super comfortable and there was nothing it lacked. We were there for our daughter's Baylor graduation and it made it extra special. We loved being 5 minutes from everything & walking distance from the silos! =)

Great Getaway!

This was my first time using VRBO and it could not have been better. The reservation process was easy, the owners were helpful and accommodating, and the house was even nicer and more spacious than it appears online. The attention to detail was so inviting that all 6 of us are looking forward to booking The Story House again and expanding our group to The Sterling House next door at the same time. You will not be disappointed!!!

Our best VRBO experience to date!

We have stayed in many VRBO properties… it’s our favorite way to travel. Our experience at Story House was the best one we’ve had to date! The property is not only adorable and immaculate, but Brynn and Ashton have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure that their visitors have an incredible experience. I have stayed in a lot of places that were well furnished and cute, but then you can tell the owners cut corners with cheap pillows and crappy towels. That was definitely not the case here! They actually had the same high end mattress that I have at my home and a plethora of fabulous pillows to choose from! And the bathrooms were even stocked with high end hair products, including hair spray, dry shampoo, and curling irons! I have never seen that in a VRBO. Plus the house is impeccably decorated with wonderful personal touches like family photos and artwork by their daughter (who the house is named after). It really made it feel like a HOME and not just a rental. Brynn had the house ready for us early and was in constant contact with us to make sure we were enjoying our stay. We got to meet them (as we both had reservations at the same restaurant at the same time), and they are now friends that I will surely stay in touch with since we plan to stay in their homes many times over the next 4 years that our son is a student at Baylor! In fact, we have already planned our next stay. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this home (which is easy walking distance to the silos, and conveniently located for lots of Waco activities). Five stars! I’d give it an extra star if I could!

Brynn & Ashton made everything as smooth as possible. When we walked in we felt instantly relaxed. The house is so cozy, the beds, pillows, bedding and vibe of The Story House are good if you need to chill. Beautiful Firepit and backyard. The Gustafsons have it DOWN. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. We’ll be back. Jack & Jessie

Best Family Weekend Getaway

This was home away from home! The lay out of the home is perfect! The location is amazing, walking distance from Magnolia & a variety of different places to eat. Whether we sat in the living room watching a movie or outside in the lounge chairs under the lights; everyone was relaxed & enjoyed their stay. Thank you for sharing your home with our family! We loved every minute!!
