Family vacation

The location of the property was perfect for us! The beds in the bedrooms were not the greatest, the kids found loose rusty nails while playing on the playhouse and the owner came to the house when we had already checked in (didn’t love that)!

Nicely renovated craftsman home

We very much enjoyed our stay in this nicely updated and decorated craftsman home, clean and tidy, with all needed amenities. The older neighbourhood is in transition and undergoing revitalization with some good examples of renovated fixer-uppers nearby. Recommend.

Great Roomy Waco House

We had a fantastic time at the Bike Nest. Clean, comfortable and super cute! It was a girl's trip for 5 and there was plenty of space. Loved the morning coffee on the ready as we got in after 11PM and had no time to grocery shop. Easy drive to all of the Waco sites. What a lovely surprise coming in to the house, the hosts had hung Happy Birthday decor! Such a sweet gesture! Will definitely be back to the Bike Nest.

Loved this cozy home

Great place to stay - cozy and able to comfortably sleep and host Thanksgiving dinner for 7 adults and 3 children. I’m a little obsessed with the charm of this house. Neighbor was not conducive for walks but big back yard made up for it.

Wonderful experience

The house was as pictured but so much more! Kitchen well stocked of essential equipment and then some. Beds were comfy. Towels fluffy. Games for all ages. Outdoor space was great both front and back. We were a group of 6 ranging in age from 3 - 90. Can't wait to return in the spring! Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Front great variety of books

Amazing!!

My sister and two of my friends came for Silobration and it was a perfect house to stay at. Beds were great, having two bathrooms was so nice. We enjoyed coming back to the house after a long day and watching some TV and relaxing on the great furniture. We are out for our meals but the kitchen was stocked great if we would have cooked. The neighborhood was a little noisy but that would be our only thing that was not a perfect 5 . Easy to get around to our events from the house. I would definitely stay here again if we come back

Definitely Staying Here Again!

We stayed for the weekend to visit our son at Baylor and see friends from when we were here in college. Worked great for the kids and dogs. Felt safe and the youngest liked the playset in the backyard. Location was great for Baylor, Silos, restaurants and our friends south of town. Clean, comfortable and very well updated. Bikes are not our thing, but we enjoyed the theme! Lots of games, large TV for college football, books for the 1st grader and plenty of space to spread out. Host was very responsive and friendly. Hopefully it will be available next time we are heading to Waco!

Awesome Historic Home

My friends and I chose this place for a girls / working weekend. We like historic homes and as soon as I opened the door, I literally squealed “Aren’t you the cutest!!!!” This house was amazing!!! Such care went into the restoration. The wood floors and china cabinet were just beautiful!! Handmade quilts are scattered in the bedrooms and living rooms. Super comfortable and inviting!! Extra comfy sofa, big screen tv, and stocked coffee bar. We loved our stay and jokingly said we were going to research squatters rights. 😂. Can’t wait to come back to your lovely home.

Treasure in plain sight

The property was immaculate; the mattresses were comfortable, the kitchen had all the amenities, the yard was fenced for our pupper and it had gigantic trees with a tree house to boot… We saw red birds and all kinds of birds. The home was very quiet on the weekends but, somewhat busier during the bustle of work hours during the work days. The location was a very convenient location to the silos, shopping, and local restaurants. Mica was kind and prompt with her greeting, directives, and responses.

Overall, a nice place to stay.

Everything was good. Plenty of room and comfortable beds. Very quite neighborhood. Beautiful porch area. The only thing is that it smelled like an old house when we got there but we soon got used to it. Host was very kind to call us about leaving clothes in the dryer and we picked them up from the porch. Overall, a very nice stay. Thank you!

Waco Wedding Trip Success!

We stayed at this cozy family home on our recent trip to Waco for a family wedding. Everyone was very pleased with the accommodations, even the puppies! Furnishings, kitchen, laundry, bedrooms were all very well appointed and felt like home. Communication with the host was outstanding! We are all from the Waco area so we were familiar with the neighborhood and had no surprises there. Just expect a bit of traffic noise on the busy front street when sitting on the porch. The backyard was more peaceful and very nice. If you have a car and can go a few blocks to the newer areas with restaurants and shops, we would suggest that. Otherwise, it was very easy and quick to get across town and to the highways from this location. We had a great time!

Great House

We came into Waco to visit Baylor and loved this house! Huge backyard with a cute play structure. We were thrilled to bring our dogs who loved the backyard. The house itself was set up great and very comfortable. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well equipped. The owner sent us some recommendations for restaurants near by and they were great. Even though my husband went to Baylor and we have been to Waco recently, it was nice to have the recommendations! Thank you so much for hosting us at your house. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit! Thanks.

We loved how cute the house was, it was a real joy to stay at! The kids loved playing on the club house, the host did a really great job of making the house family friendly and having tons of games to play! The only bad things were the driveway was to high and in bad condition and there was 4 possums that came out to the backyard at night! We will definitely stay here again if we are in Waco!
