Echt Farmhouse - 12 min from Baylor & Magnolia Market Silos
Our place is 12 min. from Magnolia Market & Baylor's McLane Stadium & 1.5 miles from I-35. You'll love our place because of its quiet location in the country on a working homestead.
This rental is part of a duplex named "Echt House" and this side (left side) of the duplex is named "The Farmhouse". The other side is named "The Ranch" and both are available for larger groups. We ask that all guests be considerate of any guests that may be renting the other side.
We are only 4 miles from the #1 rated restaurant in central Texas -- Cafe' Homestead -- and the Homestead Craft Village. Also, we're only 15 minutes from BSR or Cameron parks.
It is Eco-friendly with spray foamed insulation, energy star washer, dryer, refrigerator, range and microwave with many Eco-friendly supplies.
Its great for couples, business travelers, solo adventurers and families (with kids).
Come and see central Texas!
Note to long term renters: If you intend to book for eight nights or more, we ask that you to contact us prior to booking because we have a short "Terms of Agreement" to sign, other fees and other considerations to mention that make for a better rental experience for all of us. This is especially helpful because of our duplex situation. Thank you for your consideration.

This home provides a peaceful stay in a quiet country setting just minutes from the freeway! This was our 4th stay and we will definately stay again! Chris is a great Host that is very responsive. I highly recommend this Host and home!
This home is conviently locate near the freeway in a quiet country-like setting. Very comfortable and quiet. Chris is a very responsive Host. This was our 3rd stay and we are back on the 30th. I highly recommend this Host and home.
The property is clean and quiet. It’s a duplex, so I suppose that could affect the quiet, but there was an unrelated group in the adjacent side and we didn’t realize that until leaving the next morning.
Communication was clear and met our needs. Would stay here again.
The Farmhouse (1/2 of duplex) was incredibly clean and comfortable. It was so quiet but only 10-12 minutes to Baylor, we were there for family weekend. This is a great place to unwind and disconnect with comfortable bedrooms, living room and a nice relaxing bathroom.
This home is so comfortable and is well appointed. We stayed the first time on Aug 23rd and returned on Sept 1. We met Chris who is a great host. I highly recommend this property - very quiet with easy access to 35. Everything you want in a property - and more!!!

This is a lovely home that is well appointed. Easy access to freeway yet also very quiet. While it is a duplex, it is obviously well built because we never heard the other couple next door until they were leaving. The living room has reclining lazy boy rockers that are very comfortable. Chris is a very "hands-on" owner and replied to us quickly before and during our trip. 5 Stars and we are looking forward to our return trip over Labor Day. Thanks Chris!
Booked this property for one night for a concert that was in town. Duplex is clean and decorated very well. They neighbors were very nice but when they left their dogs howled for hours. The walls are thin and you could hear everything. So sad to hear dogs cry for so long.
My only complaint is that there was some missing panels in the fridge so we dropped some food unexpectedly but otherwise the house was great. Would stay here again!
Great property, feels like country just minutes from all the fun of Waco. The night sky was brilliant with stars and a bright moon, loved the charm. Property owners were easy to communicate with and available if needed.
The owners were quick to communicate and very accommodating when I accidentally mixed up the dates of my trip. I had a moving truck towing a car and an SUV and parking wasn’t an issue.
Great little place. Parking was a little wonky. 3 other cars in the same driveway before we got there. Place was clean and simple. Quiet area and back porch was nice looking although we didn’t use it. Love that it was pet friendly. Honestly was a big reason we chose it. Coffee selection was nice! But wish they had water bottles in the fridge as well.
This was my first time staying in a place that wasn't a hotel when traveling and it definitely was a great experience. It was a very warm and welcoming environment. Decorations were super cute and it was very clean for us. The location was quiet and the scenery was beautiful. I definitely recommend staying here.
We enjoyed the house so much. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Thank you so much for the great communication throughout the whole process. We would 100% stay here again.
Such an adorable place. Comfortable and sits on a beautiful property. The host was so communicative and friendly, too.
I was in town for a MTB race and my children drove in to meet my wife and me. We loved the property and homeyness. Very comfortable for 5 people.
Very clean, comfortable and cute decor. It was close enough to Baylor to visit our daughter for the night. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Would stay again!
The property was very clean. It was in a great location and very close to all the fun things we did.

What makes this property unique
THIS RENTAL DOES NOT HAVE A TV BUT DOES HAVE AN EXCELLENT WI-FI!
Quiet hours after 11 pm. See note below for other noise issues.
The "Heart of Texas Speedway" is over 1.5 miles away. They operate March through October. If the weather is just right, the noise can reach this rental with some strength. Their races tend to be on holiday and weekend nights and sometimes do not end until 11:00 pm or midnight. If this will be an issue for your stay, we recommend you check their schedule.
