Quick Trip for a Tournament

We had a varied group of adults and teens due to a tournament we were attending. The house afforded us the ability to have some privacy and common spaces while everyone had plenty of space to crash as well.

Waco retreat

House looked small from outside but was surprisingly roomy inside. Cozy and all the beds were very comfortable! House had a funky odour we all noticed - almost like a skunk but we couldn’t smell it outside. Back porch was our undeniable favourite place but wasn’t swept and generally could have been cleaner. Also, one of the upstairs bedrooms didn’t have a window. That room needed a bedside table and lamp. Other than that, the house was great. After being out and about every day, it was wonderful to come back in evenings to recap our day on the back porch listening to the birds!!

Perfect Waco stay!

This farmhouse was perfect for our girl’s trip. The decor, cleanliness, and very roomy feel was fantastic. The owners communicated with us easily. The home is well stocked for every need and could accommodate easily more than our 3 adults and 2 babies. Super comfy beds in each room. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect for our Baylor family plus dog

This is our fifth year with a student at Baylor and the first time we stayed outside of Waco. We got a puppy last spring that we want to take with us on travels, so we had to switch to booking dog friendly properties. Despite being outside of Waco, the location is a vers easy drive to Baylor and downtown. Plenty of room for our family and loved the big fenced in backyard for our pup (he loved it too!) we didn’t do any cooking this time, but the kitchen is well equipped. Also liked the large driveway with lots of parking, and the in back porch. Everyone remarked that it was nice to stay somewhere quiet without street traffic noises. Will definitely stay again!

Love the Shiplap!

The house is located just outside of Waco in Robinson. The neighborhood is quite and feels like being in the country, but you are only minutes of everything you need in Waco. The house is spacious with plenty of room for family members to spread out. The screened porch was a favorite of mine and the kids. The kids also enjoyed the arcade will we watched the Mavericks win the Western Conference Finals in the comfortable media room. If you like the look of the house on the listing, you won't be disappointed when you arrive. Great place and made some good memories!

Lovely house for family

When we first walked in we were so pleased. The house is well decorated with plenty of space for a larger family. We had 3 adults and 3 children in our party and the house worked well for us. The large yard was great for outdoor play, and the sun porch was nice for those of us who wanted to stay a bit cooler under the shade and ceiling fan. The large soaker tub in the master bathroom was a huge hit. As was the arcade games upstairs. This house is lovely, we highly recommend.

Wonderful and relaxing!

This house was perfect for our stay! We traveled for spring break with our four children ages 12-18. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The backyard is huge and allowed me to sit in the sun and read my book while the kids played. The large bathtub was a treat and another fun way to relax in the evenings! The house is clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed this space so much that one afternoon they specifically asked to go home and just play instead of more sight seeing!

Roomy and well-supplied

This is a roomy house and everything was in order, including live plants. K-cup coffee pods were supplied as were hand soaps in all bathrooms and the kitchen. Every cleaning and laundry product you would ever need were also provided. We typically don't wash clothes on a three-night stay, but I stained a white golf shirt and had everything I needed to treat the stain and wash/dry. This property is away from noise in a semi-rural setting and is easily accessible from the roomy concrete driveway and parking area. The entry lock is easy to use and the best system we've seen, after wrestling with others that were not as simple and intuitive. The host was very responsive and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this property to couples who like to spread out and families that need three bedrooms and rollaways.
