About the host
Hosted by D&L Vacation Rentals, LLC
We are David and Rachel, and we live in Waco, TX. We got married in 2017, and in 2019, we had our first baby! David has lived in Waco for over ten years, so please feel free to ask if you have any questions about the city!
Why they chose this property
When we travel, we desire to stay at a place that is clean, has a good atmosphere, and is centrally located to what we want to see and do. We purchased this little white house near Waco's downtown Silo District since it matches all of our criteria for the kind of place we would want to stay if we were visiting Waco! Rachel's mom also stays in this home when she is in town visiting her granddaughter! Since our house is near Magnolia downtown, but also in a quiet neighborhood, we hope it will be a sweet retreat to all of our guests.
What makes this property unique
Sweet Retreat is only about a five minute drive from the Silos, Magnolia Press, and downtown Waco. It is less than a five minute drive from the castle Chip and Joanna renovated. A few blocks away, there is a restaurant that offers breakfast and lunch and a coffee shop known to have some of the best coffee in town. Baylor is less than a 10 minute drive from our house.
