Loved this property!

This house was super cute and in a PRIME location. Literally steps away from The Silos and some great shopping. Also very close to Baylor! The communication with the owner was the BEST. She thought of absolutely everything to make our stay comfortable and easy!

The property was close to Cameron Park so it worked very well for us. The host replied quickly to every question and went well beyond in making our stay comfortable. She provided snacks and champagne to celebrate my son’s wedding. Truly thoughtful person.

Live music lovers dream

We gathered to celebrate our Grandsons first birthday, traveling from Minnesota. The home was clean, well stocked and so convenient to The Silos, restaurants, bars and grocery store. There is a fenced in backyard so our 3 year old loved it. The only negative would be the loud music on weekends from the bar in the backyard which was mentioned in the listing so we expected it.

Great Waco getaway

The house was very clean and comfortable. Hostess took extra care to make sure guests are safe and feel at home. Communication was never an issue. The house is close to all the fun places to dine and shop in downtown Waco. Hostess was very kind and went out of her way to welcome us and ensure a great weekend.

Great place to stay for a concert!

Stayed here this past weekend with a group of family and friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. The location could not be more ideal for visiting Magnolia and then taking in a concert. The house is clean and so cozy. The property has been stocked with anything you could need from noise machines in all the bedrooms to extra phone charger cubes! We are already checking the concert calendar to plan our next visit.

No hot water and broken microwave

Communicated to manager through vrbo app that there was no hot water and microwave was broken around 830pm. Instead of focusing on issue, she spent the time saying I should have called her number instead of using app after saying she went to sleep early and didn’t see my communications until next morning. Did end up offering repair person and later checkout but we were already so put off with no showers, no microwave and bad sleep (very very noisy road noise not just during band times noted on app) that we said no thank you.

Birthday weekend/ Magnolia trip

We came to Waco to celebrate a few birthdays in our girl’s group. The home was perfect location to visit Magnolia as well as all the places we wanted to eat or explore. We had a limited time so we were able to focus on shopping and eating and enjoying the home rather than driving from place to place. The house was perfect. Beds were great and we loved all of it!

Very noisy- concerts in the bar right behind the back yard

The property was beautiful but I was very disappointed with the amount of noise (concert at the bar/restaurant) that started between 3:00 and 5:00 pm and went on till approximately 1AM on Friday and Saturday and then till approximately 11:00pm on Sunday. It is mentioned that the bar has a concert on some weekends but not to the extend that you’d think twice about it. It is your responsibility to make sure you’re not booking on the day the concerts are going on even though you would never know when they have the concerts and that the concerts are literally in back yard. I asked the hosted if there was anyway we got leave a day early because we did not get any rest because of the noise and she said no -we had sighted a contract and we’d have to abide by it. We could leave but we would not get a refund for the 1 day that we wanted to leave early. It would have been the appropriate thing to do and would have been greatly appreciated if she could have let us leave and refunded the last day’s stay. If you like concerts and loud noises while you’re sleeping this is the place to be but if you’re like most normal people and want some peace and quite DO NOT stay here.
