Songbird Haven - 2BR/ 1BA cottage 10 miles from Silos, Peaceful & CLEAN

Songbird Haven, our cozy 2 BR/1 BA country cottage, is 10 miles from the Silos, Magnolia and Baylor and just 3 miles from Homestead Craft Village and the Ploughshare Institute. If you’re traveling alone, with a spouse or friend, or in a group up to four, our super clean cottage provides a comfy and peaceful space to unwind after a busy day. The front porch is a great place to rock your cares away! (Max occupancy = 4 registered guests.) Absolutely no parties or large gatherings. You will always have lots of privacy and may never see us, but we do live on the property. It’s important for us to know who is on our property at all times.

THE SPACE:
Our super CLEAN 2 BR/ 1 BA cottage, fitted with modern conveniences and comfy furnishings throughout, offers travelers a truly relaxing and refreshing country stay on the outskirts of Waco. There’s lots of room for up to four guests to spread out with 860 sq ft of living space, which includes a full living and dining area, a large kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. The large front porch offers a beautiful space to enjoy good coffee and good conversation amidst the melodies of wild songbirds.

The cottage has free high-speed Internet. Note: We do not provide TV.

NO PETS & NO CHILDREN UNDER 8:
The cottage is NOT suitable for pets nor for young children under 8 years old nor for infants.

MASTER BEDROOM - Queen Bed
Queen bed with comfy Sealy mattress, extra pillows and blankets

BEDROOM #2 - Single Bed
Single bed with comfy Sealy mattress, extra pillows and blankets

LIVING ROOM - Pull Out Queen Bed
Cozy recliner, loveseat and sofa with a surprisingly comfy pull-out queen bed (see our reviews — our guests agree that it’s a VERY comfortable pull-out sofa sleeper!).

FULL SIZE KITCHEN:
Fully stocked with plates, drinking glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, a large microwave, four-burner stove, oven and fridge - everything you need to comfortably dine in!

COFFEE & TEA BAR:
A generous complimentary coffee and tea bar with all sorts of “fixin's” to rev your engine and brighten you day!

DINING AREA:
Round dining table with seating for four not only serves as a fun space for card games, Scrabble, Forty-Two, puzzles and board games, but also as a great laptop workspace. You will find a comfy office chair stored in the master bedroom closet should you need it.

FRONT PORCH:
We think the front porch has “the best seats in the house,” if you want to relax outside, catch a sunrise or sunset and listen to the songbirds.

LAUNDRY AMENITIES:
Large capacity washer and dryer with complimentary detergent, electric iron, ironing board

BATH AMENITIES:
Pulse massage shower head, wall cabinet with built in magnifying mirror, makeup remover towelettes, plush bath towels, an assortment of luxury soap, shampoo and hair conditioner.

Lovely spot for our family!

We really enjoyed our stay. It had the nicest coffee bar of anywhere I have stayed with Vrbo. It was a cold weekend, but otherwise I would have enjoyed the front porch! The owners gave us good ideas of local places to visit. I would stay here again!

Quiet cottage in Waco

The location was great. Quiet place outside of Waco hustle & bustle. Clean, comfy & hosts were very kind. The ony thing i would suggest is that they advertise the no TV in the description. Also, door code was the wrong number. Had to call the host. Other than that, it was very comfy.

For those with little outside interest

Not conducive to be outside in heat. View from cottage and porches limited with over grown bushes so not as pictured. Art in cottage nice. Clean and fresh remodel with good furnishings and decor. Air in cottage cool. No books or reading material except about Waco. We had a teenager with us so having no TV or board games to entertain was limiting. Host were nice folks. It is a duplex and housing close on both sides. Not a view as pictured. There was a very busy, narrow and loud road very close to the cottage. We liked being in the country and near Homestead Farms and Village which we were revisiting. The communication from the host was pushing the Homestead Farms, their connection?

Songbird Haven was so relaxing and convenient

Arrived a little early but was no problem, just waited a bit outside. Garry And Shoshanna are very nice and warm host. They saw to any needs or questions we had. Easy to communicate with. We loved Homestead Cafe, only across the road within 2 miles from us. Great Food. The home is cozy and very comfy. We just stayed there 2 days and relaxed and sat on the porch. Clean and pretty.

Exceptionally clean, comfortable and away from congestion.

The cottage was exceptionally clean. The furniture was very comfortable - not the worn-out stuff we sometimes contend with. All pots, pans, dishes, silverware, soaps, coffees, spices, bathroom amenities, etc were furnished although, except for the coffee, we brought our own. The heater / a/c units worked flawlessly. We were very pleased with the unit.

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Garry Stewart

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
Pursuing a simpler, more traditional life in the country was not always close to our hearts. My wife, Shoshana, grew up just 30 minutes from Manhattan. I grew up in major metropolitan cities such as Beirut, Singapore and Hong Kong. My parents were expats working overseas for an American corporation during the 1950s, 60s and 70s. I came to live in the U.S.A. for the first time in 1977 and settled in the New York City area. I was 18 years old.

Even before we married, both Shoshana and I made life changing decisions that led us away from the hyper-urbanism of the New York City metropolitan area and introduced us to a more traditional family life in a rural setting. After we married in 1978 and were expecting our first child, Shoshana left her career as "a Gibbs girl" in New York City to become a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom. (Such a radical "career move" was virtually unheard of in the 70s!) Still, the idea of having a large family fit perfectly with our desires to rediscover a more traditional family life. It also fit with our desires to experience a close-knit, intentional community life with neighbors and friends.

So, over the next 20 years, we ended up having eight children - five boys and three girls! We have been happily married for over 40 years and now have ten grandchildren.

“Songbird Haven," our two bedroom country cottage, is part of our story. It was originally built in 1990 to serve as our family workshop where I worked with my boys in the evenings making cutting boards and hand carved wooden spoons, which we sold at the Homestead Craft Village just three miles down the road. Eventually, one of our sons transformed the old wood shop into a comfortable starter home for himself and his bride.

After six years and three children of his own, my son moved to his own home just four miles away. And now, the old wood shop-turned-starter-home has been remodeled for Airbnb guests!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad

We lived in Waco nine years before purchasing our place in the country. We moved in 1999 to be closer to friends and the folks at Homestead Heritage Craft Village. As our homeschooled children grew older, they began taking classes at the craft village and even started working there full time after leaving school. Finding our 7-acre piece of land just three miles from the craft village was a God-send for us.

Qué distingue a esta propiedad

We are conveniently located less than three miles from Interstate 35 and 10 miles from the Silos, Magnolia Market and most of Waco's major attractions. Our favorite spot is just three miles from us at Cafe Homestead and Homestead Craft Village with its cluster of artisan craft shops. We encourage all our guests to make time for breakfast or lunch at Cafe Homestead, one of the finest farm-to-table restaurants in Texas, as well as a walking tour of the craft village to see the artisans working in the Potter's House, the School of Woodworking, the blacksmith shop, gristmill, Fiber Craft Shop, Basket Shop and cheese shop.
Songbird Haven is located in a quiet country setting surrounded by farms and small homesteads. The cottage is located on a circle driveway at the entrance to our property. Friends and neighbors travel the paved country road next to the farmhouse. We live on the same property behind the farmhouse with our grown son. We also have a tiny house on our property, which our son hosts through Airbnb. While Songbird Haven offers lots of peaceful privacy, you may see a guest drive by or one of us mowing, pruning trees, feeding the chickens and ducks and such.
We are surrounded by paved country roads that makes our farmhouse easily accessible by car. Aside from the Silos and Magnolia Market, the Dr. Pepper Museum, Baylor football stadium and the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame are 12-15 minutes away. Waco's Cameron Park Zoo is one of the most beautiful in Texas. Cameron Park itself, located along the Brazos River, is a favorite destination for mountain bike enthusiasts, as well as hikers. The Waco Mammoth National Historic Site is just six miles away, too.
Swimming, fishing, camping and water sports abound in and around Waco. We are 10 miles from the BSR Cable Park and Surf Resort, 11 miles from Lake Waco and 17 miles from beautiful Lake Whitney, a 24,000 acre reservoir.
