Lovely

The Haley House was a perfect place to stay while we were at the Heart of Texas Show. The set-up was perfect for me and my daughter. The street is quiet but close to restaurants and stores. The house has a lot of treasures to look at and everything needed to cook meals. We loved it!

Antique Warmth

My mom, 3 kids and myself stayed 3 nights at the Haley home. We felt right at home with the hardwood floors and cozy decor. It had all the amenities of home and everywhere we wanted to visit was very close driving distance. The full kitchen, two bed rooms and two bathrooms made it a much more comfortable and affordable option than staying in a hotel. We loved it and would stay there again.

We are 3 ladies coming from different areas who haven’t seen one another in awhile. The house was perfect for the three of us. Close to eating and shopping and in the evening playing cards and chatting. Beds were comfortable and 2 full bathrooms was nice. Cute backyard to sit in.

Relaxing home away from home

Kathy & John, Just a note to say we are back in Iowa after our wonderful stay at the Haley House for our daughter's graduation from Baylor. We couldn't have had a better place to stay than this "home away from home". We had a marvelous, relaxing time with family and friends. We so enjoyed the nature all around. We hope to be able to enjoy this home again sometime in the future. Sincerely, Susan & Tom Ballard

Safe, Quiet and Convenient

This little home is a great choice for a girls weekend getaway to the Magnolia Markets. It was clean and in a safe and quiet neighborhood, and we were able to visit all of the local shops, the Magnolia Markets, The Magnolia Table, the original Magnolia store- now a discount store, and the Magnolia Silos Bakery, the Spice Village with all of those shops, The Findery, and other delicious restaurants. It was a great trip. The owner was available to answer any questions and make recommendations for places to visit.

Home away from home

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Haley House. It exceeded expectations in many ways and the pictures don't do it justice! The property is super clean and comfortable with extras that make it exceptional. The kitchen is lovely and well-appointed. We appreciated the nice linens and towels!! It's location is convenient to many surrounding areas. It truly felt like being at home!! We went to watch Little League games and hit a homerun choosing this home in which to stay!

Waco weekend

The house was in a good location. It is not near the Baylor stadium. It is located near the old stadium that was demolished. The room with 4 twin beds is really tight. You can’t really use the bottom trundle. Great place for 2 couples. Lots of beautiful antiques. Would definitely stay here again.

Weekend trip

We rented this house as a base to visit our children who all attend Baylor. The location of Haley house made for easy access to campus without having to use I-35. The backyard was quite pleasant. We enjoyed sitting on the covered porch and seeing the site of the former Baylor stadium through the trees. The den had more seating than I expected for visiting with family and watching tv. Home was clean and well cared for. We enjoyed our stay!

Cottage with Character

My husband, sister, brother-in-law and I stayed here while exploring the Magnolia sites. We were able to bring our 3 small dogs. Home is clean and full of amenities..condiments, shampoo, doggie bowls, doggie door, fenced in back yard, Tv's in both bedrooms and everything you need in the kitchen. Kathy was quick to answer our questions and responded right away. It was nice to find a small home, with character to relax in while staying in Waco.

Cozy and sweet

Very easy process and key was all ready - House had everything we needed. 2nd room very small but option of a spare bed was nice if our daughter had come. Kitchen was clean just a few cobwebs. BBQ had no propane but was very spacious. Very thoughtful basket of items we may have forgotten. Easy check out. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by John & Kathy Haley

Host profile image
We have the best of both worlds, a home in Alaska and one in Texas. We love to travel with family as well as get away to a secluded place just to be with each other. Our Waco home is a wonderful place to do both,

Why they chose this property

We inherited this property from my husbands Father. We so love Waco that we have kept it. Recently, we completely renovated this home, adding AC, new wiring as well as internet and cable connections. Beautifully handcrafted maple cabinets now grace the kitchen. When we finished, we so loved the result, we wanted to be able to spend time there ourselves. We decided to rent it out in a different manner, so we could take advantage of staying there when we visited Texas and share the comfort of our home with others, when we are not able to be there.

What makes this property unique

This home is decorated in vintage and antique furniture, giving it a homey but comfortable feel. Many of the items displayed are from Alaska or Waco history.
The woodwork on the cabinets and in the living room was hand crafted and added in 2010. We leave a guitar for our guests to use.
On the front porch sits a small pew that JA Haley sat on when awaiting to speak at his last church assignment. We love to sit there drinking our morning libation, and at times listening to the rain hit the aluminum awning.
When we return home to the Haley House, it never ceases to amaze me how centrally located it is, and how easy it is to navigate to any area of Waco.
