Charming Home minutes from Cameron Zoo, Park, Lake Waco, Magnolia's & More

With its comprehensive remodel with an artisan’s approach and sensational location, this charming, Dean Highland area gem is definitely worth experiencing. Our desire is to bring families and friends together for great memories. Lovely refinished, original hardwood floors, updated cabinetry, real cedar closets, a metal roof, well crafted fencing, new sheetrock, new windows and a host of other updates balance the project which was focused on blending old with new, preserving much of what was in that era and enhancing what no longer worked in a modern home. In the end, this three bedroom, two bathroom home spread across an estimated 1,450 square feet presents an appealing aesthetic, both inside and out. Large gardens, producing pecans, and ample sunlight, inside and out, round out what might be one of the most delightful, intriguing homes for your stay in the Waco area. Enjoy the large private backyard, mature pecan trees, swings and outdoor seating. A relaxing get-a-way. Each room is uniquely & professionally furnished with special touches to provide guests with comfort and relaxation after spending a perfect day in Waco. Convenient and close proximity to Waco's Major Attractions such us Cameron Zoo, Cameron Park, Magnolia Market at the Silo's, Waco Riverwalk, Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, Lake Waco, Hawaiian Falls, Waco Surf, Wine Tours etc. Great place to share with your family & friends. Also, within minutes to great food on the Brazos River and Local Eateries and Cafe's.

Girls Get Away
We enjoyed visiting Waco as a girls get away while attending the Silobration. The house had everything we needed and was close to all the things we had on our agenda. We loved spending time in the backyard in the mornings before heading out to our many adventures. We enjoyed the Texas Ranger Museum, Boat Tour, Dr. Pepper Museum and of course all things Magnolia(Joanna and Chip Gaines). Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time...except the heat...it was HOT. But, to be fair.....what should we expect from Tejas....Hot!!!

A Peaceful Haven
The home is lovely and well equipped, but the back yard is beautiful. This was a work trip for me, but in the evening sitting out under the trees with a glass of wine returned me to a peaceful place.

Wonderful experience. Well stocked with coffee and wine so we were all happy campers. There were Rolly Polly bugs in green bathroom and front room also dining room. They didn’t eat much and were quiet but you may want to get sprayed. Thank you for having us.

Waco gem
Fabulous two night stay at this lovely home. It was well located for everything we wanted to do. The home was a beautiful blend of decor that fit the home’s era with modern conveniences and comforts. Incredible attention to detail with thoughtful touches abounding. The oversized backyard was a delight. A few minutes on the swing hung on a giant tree branch and I was truly “on vacation!” We had 3 adults and a small dog - but it could easily fit a few more. Highly recommend!

This property was welcoming and felt a home away from home. It was clean and having a kitchen helped with planning meals. I would come back and recommend to others.

Sweet little home!
We were in Waco to visit family for the weekend and chose the place largely in part due to proximity to family and the back yard. Our kids (3, 2, 4 months) LOVED the backyard. The weather was nice so they played in the treehouse and on the swing every day we were there. The house was charming and perfect for our family. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. They thought of all the details. The home was even decorated for Christmas and so cute! We especially appreciated the Nespresso machine each morning! Thank you for a wonderful experience and look forward to staying here again next visit!

Little gem in Waco
Beautifully decorated and well appointed VRBO in a quiet neighborhood. Hosts supplied everything we could have possibly needed including coffee, snacks and bottled water. So appreciated that! Huge private backyard where we enjoyed coffee every morning. Hosts responded to messages immediately and offered great restaurant recommendations.

There were three girlfriends that have known each other for over 30 years traveling to Waco to experience the Magnolia shops and restaurants. We absolutely loved this house-one of the best we have stayed at! So many wonderful touches-Nespresso machine stocked, snacks, a bottle of wine and even homemade Kahlua. Thank you for an amazing place to stay and sharing your beautiful home with us! We had the best time and left with so many great memories.
