Lovely cottage
We stayed in the cottage during a football game weekend. The cottage is behind the main house situated in the garden area. Extremely cute cottage with two queen beds, small kitchen, closet and bathroom. Loads of art in the cottage and on the grounds. The homeowners are super friendly and accommodating. Wilson the beagle snuggles with you on the porch at night. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so in the future.

Cute cottage w lots of outdoor space!
The cottage was super cute, loved the decor! Lots of outdoor space. Everything was very nice, but we did encounter a few unacceptable bugs. Need better pest control and a provided fly swatter & spray. Otherwise, it was top notch!

A Perfect Stay!
We were in Waco for a volleyball tournament over the weekend, and the cottage was just perfect! Everything about the stay was smooth, and having morning visits from Wilson the Wonderdog was definitely icing on the cake.

A wonderful stay over Thanksgiving
My parents and nephew enjoyed their stay at the cottage! The cottage and property are full of character and charm. The grounds were shaded and the paths led to all sorts of pretty areas to sit and linger in the outdoor space. Thank you for a wonderful stay for my family. We all loved meeting and playing with Wilson too!
