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!!

Weekend in Waco

Came into town for Labor Day weekend to visit Waco. This rental was super cute, just outside of Waco on a quiet street. Close to everything we wanted to get to, had everything we needed, check in was super easy and really good communication from the property owner. We’d definitely consider staying here again!
