Magnolia Oasis was the perfect getaway for our friends trip! It was walking distance to everything Magnolia had to offer & conveniently located to other shopping and restaurants as well. As soon as you open the door, you are immediately greeted with the best smell! You can really tell the owner here pays attention to detail with all of the amenities that were provided. The house was so cute!! We already can’t wait to come back and book again.
The perfect location, with easy access to the Silo District and downtown! The house was clean, we laid out, had a ton of amenities and was easy access to everything we needed. We would have no problems booking this one again.
Two friends and I were in town for a girls’ weekend. This was the perfect place for us, centrally located and close to Magnolia and Baylor. The house smells amazing, is in great condition, and was spotless. The host was very responsive, and check-in/check-out was a breeze. We would absolutely stay here again!

Incredible home - in the heart of the Silo District
Really well done house. A perfect fit for our extended family all coming to both see Baylor University and Magnolia. A quick walk to both places and actually lots more to do in Waco than once imagined - Dr. Pepper Museum, Ranger Museum, 1828 hotel, and all the activities on campus. A great trip.
The property was just as described…beautiful. It was within walking distance of almost everything we wanted to do. All the extras were a nice touch. I’d highly recommend anyone spending time in Waco, Texas to stay here.
This home was amazing!! From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed. The smell of the home is incredible, the little snacks and coffee bar to the bathrooms being completely stocked with everything you could need. They made this place feel so comfortable and like home away from home. Located right by the silos and other museums so you can walk to a lot of things. The pool was perfect even though it rained the majority of our stay, my kids still swam in the rain. But the biggest hit for our family was the awesome game table!! So much fun! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home with us!! We will definitely stay here again when in town!
This beautiful home is decorated with a modern farmhouse flair. It is exactly what we pictured! Can you say all things Magnolia!! We loved our stay, and appreciated all the special extras that are added.

The best stay!
What a beautiful stay! I absolutely love this place. It is such a peaceful getaway perfect for a girls trip. It is clean, comfortable and everything is available for a wonderful stay. Thank you again.
We had a wonderful time at Magnolia Oasis. Wendy is a wonderful, helpful, friendly host. Her property is beautiful, well decorated with some fun details like vintage games and a victrola that we played for hours. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. We couldn’t enjoy the pool and the beautiful backyard due to the rain. Anyone staying at this property will have a great time!
We were very impressed from the minute we arrived at Magnolia Oasis! Very easy access, everything worked for entry and when the door opened there was music playing and lights on. Every room is beautiful! We thought the first bedroom was the master then found there are really 2 masters and the bunk queen bed is unique, and would be fun for a family with kids. We were just two and there to celebrate our 53rd anniversary. The Magnolia Plantation is visible from the front porch, the walk is easy and we walked everywhere. The pool was clean the backyard is very nice to just chill. There is a S’mores set up to use if you like as well as granola bars and assortment if chips. Coffee bar offers you plenty of choices as well. No need to bring soap, shampoo or conditioner they are furnished. All bathrooms were supplied amply even skin care to pamper yourself and bath salts for the huge beautiful tub. Lots of pool towels as well as fun things to use in the pool.Even cozy blanket throws if you like, to use when watching TV. Magnolia Oasis did not disappoint It is Fabulous!We would love to go back with our adult “ kids” and enjoy for a longer stay. This is truly a comfortable charming home! And we loved the original wood floors.
This is the best rental home I've stayed in ever. The design, layers and comforts were amazing! Loved the connection to Magnolia (the reason for our visit) and the thought....all of the extra touches, to make the guests' stay perfect. All of our needs, and then some needs we didn't even think of, were covered. One of the things we appreciated most was how delicious the house smelled!
My husband and 5 kids stayed in your home and it was absolutely perfect. We walked to the Silos multiple times and visited museums. The Mexican restaurant nearby was great. The house was perfect for us. My kids loved the pool and the house was clean and smelled great. We would definitely stay here again.
This charming house was perfect for our girls trip to Waco. The host has thought through every detail and made sure our stay was everything we hoped for!
I wish we would’ve spent more than 2 nights in this wonderful home! It was perfect for our trip to Magnolia Market! It was literally one block away from the market as well as great shops and restaurants. We never moved our car after arriving! This is the most welcome I have felt-they provide everything, and so many extras! We had fire starters, s’mores, all the soaps and laundry detergents. It was just like home as we walked in, and the music was playing. The backyard is unbelievably perfect! The pool was warm and clean. The boys loved the pool robot! They had footballs to throw and bean bags to play. Our family played a few of the board games and the interactive video game they had.We had zero problems, but staff reached out and offered to help provide anything we may need as well as recommendations for the area. The checkin process was so simple, just a code and we got right in. I highly recommend this home. So well decorated and well stocked!
3 couples and 2 kids stayed here while watching a volleyball tournament. SUCH A BLAST! Having stayed at many VRBOs, this host thought of everything. Plenty of towels, clean sheets, extremely comfortable mattresses, high-quality bath products, cool game table device, sparkling pool and everything was spotless. Add to that that we could walk to numerous restaurants and the Magnolia Silos and coffee, shops, etc. I will be definitely staying here again.
