We had an amazing stay for my husband’s Iron Man race - with a toddler and grandma all staying comfortably together. The host was able to accommodate both an early check-in and late checkout which was very helpful in both getting ready for the race and being able to leisurely depart. The house looks like the pictures and is well stocked. We noticed that laundry detergent ran out, and the host quickly dropped us off some so we could do laundry after dealing with rained-on clothes. For those traveling for Iron Man Waco in the future, the location was perfect and walkable to the optimal spectating areas which was our ultimate goal! It's also a few blocks from the silos. We would definitely stay here again!

The Gem of Waco

We have stayed here multiple times and each time it’s absolutely perfect. The home is spacious, always clean, the owners are beyond kind and very responsive. Looking forward to the next stay and hopefully some cooler weather to enjoy the fire pit.

We stayed at The Sterling for a girls trip and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by fresh cookies and a clean fresh kitchen and soothing music. The beds are extremely comfortable and the whole place was immaculate and comfortable. Perfect location for visiting the silos.

Super Clean and Close To Magnolia!

We had an awesome stay at the Sterling House. The house is very nice. Super clean, comfortable, beautifully designed, and brand new. The hosts are very responsive and communicated well with us. The location is within a block of magnolia market so it was perfect for us to walk to and from the area for shopping, coffee, and food. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the Waco area again!

Better than we imagined!

The house was stocked, clean and cozy. Everything we needed and more was available! Beautiful, clean home with a fabulous location. This would absolutely be a “return to stay” if/when we come play again at the silos. Couldn’t have found a better place!! What a fun property to call home for a couple days. Worked really well for our couples trip!
