“Amazing Airbnb! Blown away with the character and design. Feels like you’re at home. Walkable to everything Magnolia, delicious restaurants, spice village, union hall, Waco running and so much more. The backyard is gorgeous and so relaxing! The hosts are incredibly kind and so helpful for anything you need. This airbnb is the absolute perfect place to stay and worth every penny. Will 110% be staying in this home again when we come back to visit!” ~Katie July 2024


Self-check-in. Keyless entry via keypad at the front door. We will message you a unique code before checking in. Guests have access to the entire house and backyard.

This unique home, originally built in the 1900’s, has been newly remodeled, professionally decorated, and completely updated - ready to share new memories!

We were able to retain this home's original wood floors and distinct wood plank walls, while remodeling to create en-suite bathrooms for each bedroom, and an “open” hallway that modernizes the entire main areas into a gracious open floor plan.

"All I can say is Wow! We LOVED this house. Super close to downtown Waco! The character, charm, and beautiful spaces made our girls' weekend at the Silos the best experience! We sure loved the personal touches and all the decorator’s eye candy. If you want to stay in an upscale, well-decorated space, this is the house for you!

Awesome place to stay!

295 Steps to Silos was a perfect place to stay. The accomodations were very warm and inviting. The pool, the snacks, plus the distance to the Silos was nothing short of amazing. Thank you so much!

Great place!

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.

Bucket List Family Trip Accomplished

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!

Girlfriends trip

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!

Absolutely Stunning Place

Had Mother/Daughter trip with my girls! This home is absolutely stunning. So comfortable, yet elegant. All the details were thought of. Lots of supplies and, literally, about a block away from the Silos, which was our primary location to visit. Congratulations on a great job with this home! Would definitely return to Magnolia Oasis if in Waco. Thank you for a great girls' trip with my babies.

Feel Right at Home in Style!

We loved staying at Magnolia Oasis, and it certainly lives up to its name. The house is very comfortable and is fully stocked with everything you need to feel at home. Steps from Magnolia, and a few minutes from Baylor, it is well located. High quality beds, towels, kitchen items. etc. Two bedrooms have sinks in the room - this helps if you have a crowd of people waiting to shower. Really lovely backyard and gathering spaces. Well done!

Wonderful Cozy home close to so much

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.

Amazing house!!

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!

Magnolia Oasis

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.

Absolutely spectacular!

We stayed to move my freshman daughter into her dorm at Baylor. It was so convenient to everything, downtown, shops, the campus, her dorm, it was perfection. The house itself is decorated nicer than any vrbo I’ve ever stayed in - it is fully equipped for absolutely anything you need! The pool is heaven on hot texas days, we got in every night. The manager is so nice, we were annoying b/c we shipped some stuff to ourselves for her dorm and she was helpful and forgiving despite some arriving when we were not there! The decor is fabulous, the snacks were such a nice treat! There is a s’mores station, my kids LOVED that. The beds are comfortable - we only had 4 people but could have brought another family probably! Literally not one criticism or suggestion. Thank you so much! We will definitely recommend to anyone who asks!
