1940's Shiplap Charmer Close to Downtown Waco! PET FRIENDLY!

Welcome to our 1945 modern country home! Our house has the best of both worlds, original shiplap mixed with modern amenities and will surely speak to everyone in the group. We are just a few miles away from downtown Waco in a quiet neighborhood so you can enjoy the peacefulness of a sunset on our screened in back porch all while still being close to everything Waco has to offer. We hope our home will help bring long lasting memories during your stay!

Our place has the modern country feel with a little bit of fun added to make it family friendly!

Please note- our beds include 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Doubles, 1 Twin, 2 Twin Rollaways, and 1 crib.

The Exact Comfort We Needed
The beautiful and cozy home was exactly what our family needed during one of the hardest times in our lives. The house was extremely clean, comfortable, and inviting. The host was very pleasant and understanding. We couldn't have wished for anything more!

Quick Trip for a Tournament
We had a varied group of adults and teens due to a tournament we were attending. The house afforded us the ability to have some privacy and common spaces while everyone had plenty of space to crash as well.

Perfect for our Baylor family plus dog
This is our fifth year with a student at Baylor and the first time we stayed outside of Waco. We got a puppy last spring that we want to take with us on travels, so we had to switch to booking dog friendly properties. Despite being outside of Waco, the location is a vers easy drive to Baylor and downtown. Plenty of room for our family and loved the big fenced in backyard for our pup (he loved it too!) we didn’t do any cooking this time, but the kitchen is well equipped. Also liked the large driveway with lots of parking, and the in back porch. Everyone remarked that it was nice to stay somewhere quiet without street traffic noises. Will definitely stay again!

Love the Shiplap!
The house is located just outside of Waco in Robinson. The neighborhood is quite and feels like being in the country, but you are only minutes of everything you need in Waco. The house is spacious with plenty of room for family members to spread out. The screened porch was a favorite of mine and the kids. The kids also enjoyed the arcade will we watched the Mavericks win the Western Conference Finals in the comfortable media room. If you like the look of the house on the listing, you won't be disappointed when you arrive. Great place and made some good memories!

Weekend in Waco
Came into town for Labor Day weekend to visit Waco. This rental was super cute, just outside of Waco on a quiet street. Close to everything we wanted to get to, had everything we needed, check in was super easy and really good communication from the property owner. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

Roomy and well-supplied
This is a roomy house and everything was in order, including live plants. K-cup coffee pods were supplied as were hand soaps in all bathrooms and the kitchen. Every cleaning and laundry product you would ever need were also provided. We typically don't wash clothes on a three-night stay, but I stained a white golf shirt and had everything I needed to treat the stain and wash/dry. This property is away from noise in a semi-rural setting and is easily accessible from the roomy concrete driveway and parking area. The entry lock is easy to use and the best system we've seen, after wrestling with others that were not as simple and intuitive. The host was very responsive and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this property to couples who like to spread out and families that need three bedrooms and rollaways.

Lovely house for family
When we first walked in we were so pleased. The house is well decorated with plenty of space for a larger family. We had 3 adults and 3 children in our party and the house worked well for us. The large yard was great for outdoor play, and the sun porch was nice for those of us who wanted to stay a bit cooler under the shade and ceiling fan. The large soaker tub in the master bathroom was a huge hit. As was the arcade games upstairs. This house is lovely, we highly recommend.

Perfect Waco stay!
This farmhouse was perfect for our girl’s trip. The decor, cleanliness, and very roomy feel was fantastic. The owners communicated with us easily. The home is well stocked for every need and could accommodate easily more than our 3 adults and 2 babies. Super comfy beds in each room. We will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful and Spacious with Large Yard- perfect for Celebrations
This home is even more impressive and expansive in person than it’s pictures reveal. Large and welcoming. with high ceilings, and beautiful decorator touches. Everyone was comfortable, and it made a perfect setting for our Baylor graduation brunch for 15-18 dual family and friends. The screened in back porch overlooking the expansive back yard and Adirondack chairs made a great place for the younger guests to enjoy each other. Would definitely stay again! And Meryl was a perfect host. Thanks so much!
