Great little house with an outside area with a fire pit. Great host always available when there was an issue. Only problem was the noisy traffic next door at Tinsley apartment after 10 pm.

Beautiful outdoor appeal and lovely decor inside. Various kitchen appliances to not only cook but entertain. There was only two towels, so unless you want to use the washer/dryer for towels, bring extra. The stairs to the loft are extremely steep and high, I could not take my eyes off my 3 year old. My kids however enjoyed the backyard. And we loved the walking distance to the silos. It was also very close to Baylor and restaurants. Overall, beautiful home.

Great location!

There is so much to love about this property! The location is 5 minutes walking or driving from all that Magnolia Market has to offer. Including Magnolia Table, less than a 5 minute drive. It is also convenient to I35 and Highway 6. The house itself is adorable. For a weekend or even longer stay it's perfect. If you have any issues with heights, stairs or ladders, you'll want to stay downstairs. But the house made fabulous use of the space available. Kids would probably love climbing up to their own room! We didn't use any of the appliances but they are all updated and look great.

The Shotgun House was exactly how we pictured it! Having watched the "Fixer Upper" remodeling show several times, we were anxious to see if it was completed and decorated how it was shown on TV . . . and it was!Alex was a great communicator sending us all the needed entry codes before our arrival plus providing us with a very detailed guest guide. The guide gave us many recommendations of where to dine and what attractions to see.We will definitely stay again when visiting Waco!
