Beautifully Renovated Home near Downtown Waco, Baylor Univ. & Magnolia Silos

Relax in the peaceful countryside while still having easy access to Waco and the historic Czech town of West. Surrounded by large majestic oak trees, The Brickyard House has been beautifully renovated for your visit. The house is surrounded by a one-acre yard and peaceful pastures with cattle grazing in the distance, creating your own personal retreat. This historic 4-generation farm has been in our family for over 100 years and is recognized by the State of Texas as an official historic Family Heritage Farm! You will have the entire home all to yourself, and once you arrive, you will quickly understand why our guests keep coming back. Read our 5-star reviews and book your reservation with confidence. If you have any questions at all, simply reach out to Clyde. He is genuinely happy to help. Whether you're coming with family, with friends or on your own, a wonderful getaway and priceless memories await. This property is not your typical short-term rental. It truly is your own personal home away from home, a place to recharge and rejuvenate.

Listen to the songs of cardinals and bluebirds, and if you're lucky, you might even see a roadrunner or two! Enjoy your morning coffee while watching baby calves run and jump in the surrounding fields. Or enjoy a glass of wine with a beautiful Texas sunset, followed by some of the best star gazing in the state!

And although The Brickyard House is a great place to unplug and unwind, you can also enjoy our free Wi-Fi network to stream your favorite shows on a 55" HD TV or to login and get some work done. When you're ready to venture out, you can grab kolaches in the historic Czech town of West (less than 5 minutes away) or experience the recently revitalized downtown district of Waco (only about 15 minutes away). After an event at Baylor or after exploring the Magnolia Silos, escape the crowds and return to your own personal country retreat. However you choose to spend your time, the memories you make here will last a lifetime.

It's now your turn to exhale, relax and enjoy your stay here at The Brickyard House.

Also worth noting:
With 2 bedrooms (1 king and 1 queen) and 1 bathroom, the house is perfect for 2-4 guests. However, there is also a sofa sleeper in the living room so the house can actually sleep up to 5, if needed.

Repeat Guest - our stay was amazing again!

This is my 4th time to stay at the Brickyard House! It is wonderful - perfectly clean farmhouse in the country but so close to Waco. It is so serene to look out back and see the cows in the pasture. Everything you need is provided. Clyde our host provides amazing communication and service. We can't wait to go back!! hostEverythingnneednpeovidedpeicide

Great place, great host, peaceful location = 5 stars all around!

Great location if you are looking for distance from Waco, but close enough to drive (or uber) in for the day (20 mins out). Clyde was fantastic at communicating and the house is spotless clean with cold water in the fridge waiting for your arrival. Beautiful and thoughtful updates! Highly recommend!

Cozy Country

We had such a wonderful stay at the Brickyard house! Clyde is the perfect host and very responsive to communications. The house was clean, spacious, and provided everything we could have possibly needed. And having coffee with the cows was such a sweet surprise! Super easy to get to nearby Waco too. We will be staying again!

Our most favorite VRBO!

This place is the perfect getaway. Beautiful country setting with town just a few minutes away. This is our 3rd time staying and it’s always exceptionally clean, well stocked and Clyde’s communication is the best ever. We highly recommend this stay! We’re spoiled now and nothing compares to it.

Felt like we were in the middle of the country, but just a little ways off the interstate. The property was close enough to West and Waco to pop over to both. Loved it! Definitely will stay again.

Second Stay at the Amazing Farmhouse!

From beginning to end, a wonderful weekend! The Farmhouse is the most peaceful spot. Perfectly clean, easy check-in, amazing communication with the host, everything provided for a fun relaxing time. Location is a quick trip to West or an easy 10 min drive into Waco. This is my second time to stay here and I will be back!

Private and comfy

I loved staying here for Baylor Family weekend. This was a much better option for us than a Waco hotel. So quaint and quiet and only 15 minutes campus. The beds were very comfy, so we slept great. I’ll have to say that the cows coming to the fence line for water in the mornings is the main reason I’ll come back. It added to the vibe for sure!

Beautiful home in a perfect setting

The house was exactly as advertised. As soon as you pull in you can tell that it was a family homestead and is well cared for. The giant trees made the lawn a great place to hang out and play. Clyde is a great communicator and a gracious host.

Best VRBO ever

This was by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The discrimination of this property is spot on in fact I believe it’s so much more. The communication was wonderful with the owner. From the moment you arrive it is clear to see this is a very cared and loved property. This isn’t a modge podge thrown together place. Nice appliances, furniture, linens, and dishes. Lastly COWS they are simply amazing and lovable I couldn’t wait to get up and see them in the morning and we came from Wisconsin where we can see cows all over something just hit differently here. Birds galore as well. The location was super quiet as well. I can not wait to come here again. I enjoyed it so much I wish I could have left them a thank you gift because our vacation was so perfect because of this place.

Best VRBO stay ever!

Clyde puts hospitality first and we felt so welcomed. His family home has been wonderfully renovated for guests and we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Quality through and through in the kitchen, living room, bedrooms. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful and the cows in the field are a key component of that peaceful presence one feels. For anyone who loves a cozy, quiet get-away, this is THE place to be!

Oh so peaceful!

The Brickyard House is easily one of our favorite VRBO rentals! When my husband and I decided to visit the West and Waco areas for a nice relaxing weekend to celebrate his birthday, we looked for a cozy cottage in a secluded area. The Brickyard House met all of our needs. It's literally surrounded by peaceful pastures and is located along a very quiet country road. The home was perfectly spotless, well-maintained and supplied with everything we needed and more. But being secluded didn't mean out of touch! Restaurants in West were less than a 10 minute drive. We enjoyed the Tipsy Lion. Everything in Waco was only about a half-hour away. We highly recommend George's Restaurant there! At night there were so many stars! And the king-sized bed was very comfortable. We both slept like babes. Even though we never needed anything, our host Clyde kept in touch and shared information about his lovely home and things to look for in the area. We will definitely look to stay there again in the future.

We had a great stay. Clyde was amazing to work with,I feel like he’s my new friend. The home was cozy, kitchen well stocked. Slept great in the bed. Had a fun time visiting the cows, even got one to lock my hand. My husband loved the tractors. We had a great walk down the road. Thanks for an amazing time!

All that you need!

This is the perfect spot to get away from city for a short, quick stay. We rented this house for a night while we attended a Baylor game. The house is inviting, charming and very down on the farm feeling. It’s quiet but still quick access to the highway for easy travel. Clyde is incredibly prompt with communication and even offers food to feed the farm animals. We would definitely rebook here!
