Brad, Disappointing review. We "strive for five" and our team works hard to earn all five of those stars. You never responded to our communication which didn't allow us to address any issues you may have had during your stay. Curious what cost us two stars since you evidently liked the house and beds? Hmmm...

Good time and lots of space
Older home that backs up to a very busy, noisy street. You’ll need earplugs or a loud sound machines. I was thankful for the garage. Home was well appointed and hot tub was clean.

Clean, spacious & close to Magnolia
We came to visit Magnolia with other family. We loved having so many bedrooms & baths. The rental company was very responsive. Only negative is the busy traffic behind the home. Bring earplugs & white noise. Beds are comfortable… we slept really well! We had a Wonderful time in Waco!!

All the comforts of home
This property was beautifully maintained and well equipped with all of the comforts of home. The property was as described and for our large family perfectly. There was plenty of space in the living areas for visiting and games. The bedrooms are spacious and had all that we needed. The area is surrounded by one-way streets and that was challenging to navigate without knowing the area, but nothing our gps couldn’t handle. We did have a small plumbing issue which the owner was very responsive to and had a plumber out in a very short amount of time. I would definitely recommend this property!!!

Por qué escogió este alojamiento
This property is less than 2 miles from Magnolia Market, Baylor University, downtown Waco, Extraco Events Center, Dr. Pepper Museum, and many other area attractions. Previous guests shared a funny quip. When anyone in their group asked how far it was to their next destination, they accurately noted that every answer was "less than five minutes" until it became a family joke!
This property is located a block from Calvary Baptist Church and within one mile of several other churches including Antioch Church. It is also near a hospital, a block from a public playground, and across the street from a small park and large, grassy field with mature trees.
This property backs to 18th St for easy east-to-west access in Waco -- avoiding construction delays that are so prevalent in Waco. However, that means guests will experience some street noise and occasional emergency vehicles may be perceived due to the proximity to a hospital. These are easily mitigated with several different options available inside this property.
The original section of this historic home is over 90 years old and the neighborhood went up around these older homes. Some of the homes in the area have been updated, restored or redone — thanks in part to Chip and Joanna Gaines/Fixer Upper! Other homes have not -- some in need of repair. Currently, one home next door is boarded up as it is under a major construction updo. Anyone unfamiliar with the Waco area would want to be aware that they will find this to be a very eclectic community with a wide range of properties and demographics. That's also part of the Bear Den's unique charm as a historic hideaway!
Qué hace que este alojamiento sea especial
This home was originally built in 1930 and has had many upgrades since. The mother-in-law suite has its own separate entrance and this spacious property offers a lot of space to spread out and storage space. It is truly a one-of-a-kind!
The Bear Den has upgraded WiFi speed (400 mbps) and a "mesh system" to enable consistent coverage throughout the property. Cellular coverage, however, can vary depending on the carrier unless guests jump on the WiFi for better coverage. When this historic home was built, they built it with solid cedar plank walls which can affect cellular coverage in parts of this home.
This property is also monitored by a Ring doorbell that records from the front two entrances of the home for owner and guest protection.
This property is ideal for extended stays with oodles of storage options throughout, several different work spaces, an attached garage and a hot tub for relaxing after a busy day. Extended-stay discount pricing is available!
This property is also ideal for animal companions with a fenced back yard. **Note: Pet fees are required for all approved fur babies and vary depending on size/breed of our furry guests. Fees start at $200/stay. 100% of fees help to cover pre and post-stay prepwork/maintenance as well as additional cleaning that is required.
