The house was nice and the rooms were spacious. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. The location is off the beaten path but it’s convenient to fast food and a grocery store. Ashley communicated effectively from start to finish. Thanks for a great stay!

Upon arrival the house was very cold, it was 53 degrees. Took over an hour to get the house comfortable. The dryer was not working, lastly no trash bags were left, so we only had 1 trash bag for the 2 nights paid for. It was a disappointing stay. We stay in Vrbo rentals frequently and have never had issues like this. Seems like the house isn’t well cared for.

Waco Charmer

Our family truly enjoyed our time at the Shiplap Cottage. The house was the perfect size for our family of 5! We found everything as described and felt very comfortable. The neighborhood was safe and quiet, and we were within a short drive of all the places we needed to visit.The host had excellent communication and was very prompt and polite in attending to our needs and questions.

Cute spot near the Silos

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was very clean and the towels were extra soft and fluffy. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. It’s an older house but you can tell they took great care in refinishing everything. We would stay here again.
