THE COTTAGE@CHAPEL RIDGE #1 in Waco for 5-star reviews! #6 in all of TX’s 29K

Welcome to The Cottage at Chapel Ridge! I am THRILLED to have TWO special getaways to share with you in wonderful Waco, Texas:

The Cottage at Chapel Ridge (this listing)
The Haven at Chapel Ridge (#729987)

They've finished their fixer-upper journeys from drab to fab. Please read their EXCELLENT reviews and know you are in for some wonderful stay when you book!

I have remodeled every inch of these gems. These houses have great bones and have been a true labor of love for me, right down to the shiplap walls and barnwood mantels! I have a passion for hospitality that really shines through in these comfy home-away-from-homes.

Read The Cottage’s 330+ FIVE STAR reviews and rest assured you are in for some true southern hospitality and an ultra-clean stay!

This retreat is blessed to be ranked #1 for FIVE-STAR REVIEWS on Waco's VRBO platform! The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is ranked #6 in the entire state of Texas (out of 29,500 properties). 😊 The Haven next door is ranked #2 in 5-star reviews on VRBO Waco and #7 statewide!!!

COTTAGE DESCRIPTION
This freshly-remodeled quaint cottage-style 2 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a quiet tree-lined street right next door to its sister property, The Haven. The home sleeps 8 comfortably with one queen bed in private suite, two double beds in generously-sized 14'x17' suite and new sofa bed with upgraded queen-size comfy memory foam mattress.

Gather around a large kitchen table with room for 8, enjoying all the well-stocked, bright and airy kitchen has to offer. The Cottage is also stocked with waffle fixings and a hotel-style flip waffle maker as well as snacks sure to please. S’mores fixings and a generous snack basket will greet you upon arrival!

Enjoy the high-speed internet and 50" HDTV (equipped with Roku system, complimentary Netflix already logged on) and fireplace in the living area with convenient patio access. A cozy fire table outside and BBQ grill (both are propane) is also available for use in a charming, private outdoor space....perfect for s’mores under the cafe string lighting.

Both bedrooms also have HDTVs with Roku, comfortable bedding with plenty of pillow options...20 to be exact, ceiling fans, and sleep therapy clocks.

The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is ideally located, on the edge of the desirable Woodway/Hewitt area of Waco, within 15 minutes of downtown. For Fixer Upper fans, The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is situated exactly halfway between Magnolia Market at the Silos AND Chip and Joanna's first vacation rental, The Magnolia House. The Cottage has one of Chip’s props from the show...great for a fun photo op!

A public splash pad is available at Chapel Park, just around the corner from the home (1/3 mile away) and is perfect for the kids. Beach towels and sunscreen provided.

No pet fee WITH approval! (Dogs and/or small animals in crates permitted. For allergy reasons, no cats.) The backyard is fully fenced.

Five star plus
We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Lori is amazing and a wonderful host. She was very responsive to any questions we had and truly goes above and beyond to help guests feel welcomed. The house is beautiful and has many features to make you feel at home. I almost hesitate in sharing how awesome this place is because we already want to go back and don’t want to compete for availability. I wish I could rate above five stars.

Excellent!!!!!
Once again this property didn’t disappoint. Lori is probably the best hostess we have come across when using VRBO. Everything with the house was orderly and the peach cobbler was AMAZING! Neighborhood is quiet and everyone was as comfortable as can be. We will definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway
Enjoyed our stay. The owner was great to work with and went out of her way to make sure our stay was pleasant. House was just what we needed for our getaway to Waco. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a place near all the Waco attractions but in a quiet neighborhood. We hope to be back soon!
