Hello CarolRae, Thank you for taking such good care of our home in the extended time you spent there. I wish the weather had been a little more cooperative during the January/Feb time, but Texas weather can be very fickle during that time of year. So glad our location worked well for you. It never ceases to amaze me when we return to Waco, how centrally positioned the house is to all sorts of venues. Thank you for making note of that in your review. Thank you for being our guest!

Great house that was so well supplied—-soaps, lotions, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. Kitchen had coffee, miscellaneous tea bags and drink flavorings as well as a great supply of cookware, dishes, utensils, cups and more. The decor was both gorgeous and comfortable. Easy access to Baylor and to any number of excellent food opportunities.

The Haley House was a perfect place to stay while we were at the Heart of Texas Show. The set-up was perfect for me and my daughter. The street is quiet but close to restaurants and stores. The house has a lot of treasures to look at and everything needed to cook meals. We loved it!

Antique Warmth

My mom, 3 kids and myself stayed 3 nights at the Haley home. We felt right at home with the hardwood floors and cozy decor. It had all the amenities of home and everywhere we wanted to visit was very close driving distance. The full kitchen, two bed rooms and two bathrooms made it a much more comfortable and affordable option than staying in a hotel. We loved it and would stay there again.

Relaxing home away from home

Kathy & John, Just a note to say we are back in Iowa after our wonderful stay at the Haley House for our daughter's graduation from Baylor. We couldn't have had a better place to stay than this "home away from home". We had a marvelous, relaxing time with family and friends. We so enjoyed the nature all around. We hope to be able to enjoy this home again sometime in the future. Sincerely, Susan & Tom Ballard

Time together

We are 3 ladies coming from different areas who haven’t seen one another in awhile. The house was perfect for the three of us. Close to eating and shopping and in the evening playing cards and chatting. Beds were comfortable and 2 full bathrooms was nice. Cute backyard to sit in.

Safe, Quiet and Convenient

This little home is a great choice for a girls weekend getaway to the Magnolia Markets. It was clean and in a safe and quiet neighborhood, and we were able to visit all of the local shops, the Magnolia Markets, The Magnolia Table, the original Magnolia store- now a discount store, and the Magnolia Silos Bakery, the Spice Village with all of those shops, The Findery, and other delicious restaurants. It was a great trip. The owner was available to answer any questions and make recommendations for places to visit.

Waco weekend

The house was in a good location. It is not near the Baylor stadium. It is located near the old stadium that was demolished. The room with 4 twin beds is really tight. You can’t really use the bottom trundle. Great place for 2 couples. Lots of beautiful antiques. Would definitely stay here again.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Dec, 2021
Dear Laura, Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We sure enjoyed having you with us. The second trundle IS very tight. If it is truly going to be used, I usually suggest we move it out into another room. The house does work best for 4 and the 5th person can be on the single in the "guest Bedroom" . We look forward to your returning to be with us again in the future. have a wonderful Holiday Season> Blessings, Kathy and John Haley

Weekend trip

We rented this house as a base to visit our children who all attend Baylor. The location of Haley house made for easy access to campus without having to use I-35. The backyard was quite pleasant. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch and seeing the site of the former Baylor stadium through the trees. The den had more seating than I expected for visiting with family and watching tv. Home was clean and well cared for. We enjoyed our stay!

Cottage with Character

My husband, sister, brother-in-law and I stayed here while exploring the Magnolia sites. We were able to bring our 3 small dogs. Home is clean and full of amenities..condiments, shampoo, doggie bowls, doggie door, fenced in back yard, Tv's in both bedrooms and everything you need in the kitchen. Kathy was quick to answer our questions and responded right away. It was nice to find a small home, with character to relax in while staying in Waco.

A Baylor Visit

The Haley House had a great location as we explored Waco for a few days. If you are looking for a stark, industrial, bare bones place to stay, get a hotel. The Haley House is full of personal touches, antiques, and meaningful heritage. The Haleys have thought of every last detail, including a basket of things you might need (toothbrushes, etc). When I had a question, Mrs. Haley not only responded promptly, but she CALLED to make sure we had everything we needed!
