"Cute little house near downtown Waco. Conveniently located, a short drive to downtown and The Silos, short walk to the Zoo. House is just as cute as the pictures, had everything you need. House could use a little TLC and minor maintenance, but we enjoyed the stay and would return again. Thank you very much!"

New & Downtown! The Bear Claw

10/10 Excellent

"This was easily the nicest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! Beautiful home that was clean and had a great layout. The furnishings, linens, dish-ware, etc. are all extremely nice, even the decor is sophisticated and fun! We really enjoyed the pool - perfect for hot summers in TX. We fit 4 adults & two toddlers with plenty of room. We walked to the zoo, since it’s across the street one morning too. Communication & check in was top notch and it really was worth the price. If I’m back in Waco again, I will absolutely stay at The Bear Claw and recommend it to anyone!"

10/10 Excellent

"Property super clean and super cute! Would recommend to everyone! Address that we were given lead us to another property so we thought people were in our VRBO. Our address was 508 B and the address given took us to 508. We attempted to get in touch with owner. It was late when we arrived which i completely understand that’s late to call but we needed some assistance understanding where to go. I drove around and found a house on a different street name w 508 B but the gate was closed and I wasn’t aware of gate….besides this small misunderstanding where property was located, the stay was amazing and the owner did reach out first thing next morning"
