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

Surrounded by majestic oak trees, the beautifully renovated Brickyard House offers you comfort, modern convenience and tasteful style. This authentic Texas home provides the best of both worlds: relaxation in the peaceful countryside and easy access to Waco, Baylor, Magnolia Silos and the small Czech town of West. This historic 4-generation farm is recognized by the State of Texas as an official historic 100-Year Family Land Heritage Farm. Book this gem of a property before your dates disappear.

The property includes a full one-acre yard with countless colorful birds coming and going throughout each day. You will have the entire home all to yourself. And once you arrive, you will quickly understand why our guests keep coming back. The Brickyard House is a peaceful retreat. And if you have any questions at all, before or after booking your visit, 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 awaits you. This property is not a typical short-term rental. It truly is a home away from home, a place for you to recharge and rejuvenate at the end of each day, whether you are visiting Waco, West, or just staying on the farm.

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 15 minutes away). After an event at Baylor or after exploring the Magnolia Silos, escape the crowds and return to your country retreat. However you choose to spend your time, the memories you make here will last a lifetime.

Listen to the songs of cardinals and bluebirds, and if you're lucky, you might even see a roadrunner or two, or possibly even hear an occasional barn owl as the sun goes down! Enjoy a glass of wine with a beautiful Texas sunset, followed by some of the best star gazing in the state! Or enjoy a morning cup of coffee while watching baby calves run and jump in the surrounding fields. It's now your turn to exhale, relax and enjoy your stay here at The Brickyard House.

And finally, to book now with confidence, if you'd like, we encourage you to read a few reviews of this property to see what our guests have to say. We think they speak for themselves.

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.

Loved the stay!!The home was clean, well situated to visit The Silos and go to a Baylor game. The best thing about the house was while it was close enough to Waco, it was far enough away from the traffic and congestion in the north part of town.. In addition, Clyde was the perfect host, making sure we had no problems getting into the house and checking with us to see if we had any questions or problems. If we were to visit Waco again, I would definitely stay again!!

Pride in ownership is clearly evident. The house was so comfortable with everything we could have needed. The trees surrounding the home are so beautiful. Waking to see the cows hanging out in the fields surrounding the home was so peaceful, yet so close to everything we were in town to do. Highly recommend!!

Just LOVE this property. So peaceful! Our visits are much too short. The house is always so clean and the serenity of the place makes for wonderful sleeping. Close enough to the freeway to make an easy trip to Waco & West. Definitely our #1 choice for accommodations. Clyde is super easy to deal with very personable and always responds quickly. I highly recommend this rental.

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!

Perfect location for a Waco vacation!

We were in town for a Big 10 track meet at Baylor. The Farm was the perfect place to stay! It was an easy 15 min drive to the university, as well as any amenities we wanted or needed. However, when we were “home” we felt like we were miles from the big city. It was peaceful and beautiful. The house had everything we needed, was very clean, and comfortable. We spent quite a bit of time outside where we enjoyed the fire pit, cattle and large beautiful trees. We are planning to stay here again next time we are in the area and would highly recommend it to anyone.

A Peaceful Farmhouse Stay

This farmhouse was a perfect peaceful country retreat! A tractor was displayed at the edge of the well-cared-for yard surrounded by beautiful oak trees. During morning coffee, baby calves, cardinals and bluebirds would appear. The farmhouse and property were very clean and it is evident that this was a once wonderful family home where great memories were made. Clyde anticipated my questions in advance by providing detailed instructions and he kept the lines of communication open in case I needed anything, but it was a perfect stay!

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!

I can’t say enough about this property. It is beautiful inside and out, including the cows that come to visit in the mornings. Our “super host”,which is an understatement, was wonderful.

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.

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!

Peaceful and Quiet Nest

This property provided my husband and I a quiet, laid back interlude during our travels through the southwest. It was warm and welcoming and provided the perfect escape from all the hustle and bustle of the cities we had visited. It had all the amenities we needed with just a short drive to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The single dwelling home is an updated and fully renovated farmhouse on a quiet paved road within 15 minutes of Waco. Though we never met the owner, Clyde, in person, he promptly responded to our texts and was very accommodating. We would highly recommend this property.

Ty so very much for sharing your family home with others! We haven’t been “staying” here, we have been “living” here the last couple of days. It takes me “home” to the farm life in my soul and you are a wonderful attentive host. You and your family did an amazing job on the remodel. And I love that you kept it personal with some of your family belongings and with the photograph of your dad, the painting from your mother and I’m sure she played this piano beautifully. We will definitely be coming back …. Soon!

Graduation Weekend

My family and I enjoyed our stay this past weekend. We were in the area for our daughter's graduation from Baylor. The house was immaculate, the kitchen was nicely outfitted with everything you might need. It is definitely one of the nicest properties we have stayed at. It was a very relaxing setting. We made breakfast each morning and also grilled one evening making use of the gas grill. We fed the cows while dinner was cooking. We did also see a roadrunner. The host's communication was excellent and he was very responsive to our questions and requests. If we are ever in the Waco area again, we will definitely stay at this location.
