We had a great time. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen was very easy to to fix stuff. If there was a complaint, it would be that the orange couch railing was hurting our legs. Otherwise, it was a great time.

Blue bungalow house

Very welcoming and cute home that has been remodeled well. Backyard was a fun spot for making smores and letting kids hang out in hot tub. Plenty of space in the bedrooms. Not walking distance to anything, but 5 min drive to everything. Property managed well!

Great Place

Beautiful Home

Our family is spread out throughout Texas and we are visiting from out of state. We wanted a central location to meet and decided on Waco. This home was perfect for our short reunion. Very nice home. Beautiful backyard. The neighborhood is quiet and we had no issues. We truly enjoyed our visit. Host was easy to contact and fast to respond. Highly recommended!

Cute and charming

Finally visited the Silos and needed a place to stay that we could hang outside and enjoy after a day of shopping. This was perfect. The outside was very pleasant and hot tub was a plus. The decor and charm of the house added the perfect touch to an enjoyable day in Waco. The master bed was very comfy and treats left on a tray on our bed was very thoughtful. Would stay here again.

Birthday Getaway

It is a cute bungalow described correctly. Many of the other reviews state the issues with the property. The house was not cleaned well. There is a big dip coming out of the driveway that can scrape your car. Lastly, be careful in the master bathroom getting out of the tub. Still, we had a very good time. The location was great. We were 10 minutes from everything we wanted to do.

Good place for a long weekend

Overall the property was clean and nice. It was good for our group in town for a football game. Close proximity to downtown and Magnolia. Actual location and street of the house is a bit sketchy with some rough looking properties around and nearby. Owner alerted us to the steep driveway, but unless you have a truck or SUV, you will scrub every time you enter and exit. All that being said, we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for the feedback Kris! It's definitely an older town with a mix of properties but happy it's been safe and pleasant with no issues since we listed. Glad the house worked well overall and you were able to enjoy being close to everything. Thanks for staying!
