Anniversary Getaway
We were in town with framily for our anniversary. The Central Cottage was just that, centrally located for all our plans. The cottage was large enough for our group of 6 adults and was clean. Loved the backyard area, but only got to use it one night for a small fire. Would definitely stay again.

Nice place in a disappointing neighborhood
We loved the house and Ashely was informative and quick to respond. It met our needs just fine but the surrounding neighborhood gave the ladies a little pause about being there. We didn't encounter any issues, it just felt a little rough at night.

Quiet and peaceful stay
We stayed in this cottage for 2 nights as we were on a family road trip. Plenty of space and had everything we needed during our stay. The neighborhood is peaceful quiet, just minutes away from downtown with lots of shopping and many food choices! I would book this cottage if we visit Waco again.

Great family weekend
My family and my sister's family rented this cute cottage for the weekend in order to visit my daughter, who is a student at Baylor. We loved how close it is to campus and to downtown. And we loved being able to stay all together instead of at a hotel. We will definitely rent this place again!

Great Trip To Waco :)
We loved The Central Cottage! It was so close to Magnolia and the beds were some of the most comfortable I've ever stayed in while traveling. Sparkling clean and such a simple check-in! Our group of four had a great time on our first visit to Magnolia. Would definitely stay with Ashley again!
