Magnolia Market - 4 Miles away

10/10 Excellent

"What a great place to stay in Waco! The weather was absolutely perfect, so it was wonderful to have a back patio to hang out on! The neighborhood was so quiet, and the house was everything we had hoped! It was actually more than we hoped it would be because we booked this house not knowing that when we came down, I would be dealing with a broken patella. The handicap bathroom/shower was a gigantic plus! We will definitely stay here again!"

Sadie's 5 Star Retreat For Your Waco Stay

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect for my visit. The house was very clean, the living room was comfortable as were the beds. The bathroom linens were good quality and a nice touch.My only negative is that I would like to have better cookware in the kitchen. The one large stock pot was unusable as the non stick coating is flaking off.An otherwise pleasant stay. I will definitely book here again."
