This beautiful home housed two families with small children and this place truly was our home away from home. They had everything we could potentially need for cooking meals. The house was clean and kid friendly. Location was perfect and safe. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

GREAT Location & Amenities

We loved our stay at Jesse’s place during Baylor’s Homecoming! It was very spacious for our small party of 3, but the backyard was a big bonus - with the basketball hoop and seating we were outside every night, and the quaint front porch was perfect for a morning cup of coffee. The neighborhood is very quiet to, even being close to the freeway. I liked that part because we could access Baylor and downtown very quickly. We will definitely stay again!

Close to Silos!

We spent 3 nights at Jesse’s Place and it was great for our family. The kids loved the bunk room with the arcade game. The outdoor basketball hoop and corn hole boards made for fun evenings. Location is about a 6 minute walk to the silos. Neighborhood is going through revitalization but the property was safe and the area was quiet. Property looks just like the pictures and full of all you need for a longer stay recommend for anyone visiting Waco!
