House was perfect for our Sister's Reunion!

This house is old and a little dated, but it is very roomy and comfortable! The kitchen could use another light or two, but it is large and very well appointed with plenty of dishes, utensils and cookware. We had no problem cooking a meal and enjoyed working in the kitchen. The beds are super comfy and the showers were great! The backyard is very big with cornhole set up and a nice firepit. There was no wood and we forgot to buy some, but it looked like a great setup. It was also close to downtown Waco and the Magnolia Silo district so that's a definite plus! We also enjoyed the Homestead Craft stores, which were maybe a 20 minute drive! Definitely a great choice for our sister's reunion!

Stay

The light by the bed in the master bedroom was broke, flopping all over the place. The towel rack in the master bathroom was ready to fall off the wall. I tightened as good as possible with my fingernail. The toilet seat in the guest bathroom was loose. My friend about fell on the floor and she’s 70. Every time we walked across the floors, we felt like we were gonna fall through them, and our socks were absolutely black. The vents in the house for the air conditioner has black dirt or mold or something all the way around them. Other than that Waco is beautiful and the people were wonderful. I have asthma and I think the mold around the vents made me ill and my friend got sinus issues

A week in Waco

Over all it was what I expected based on the pictures. Older home in an older neighborhood. Was awesome to have big backyard but toys where sun rotted I would suggest putting them in something to protect them. Washer had issues and would not go through the full cycle. Kitchen well stocked except only two forks. The extras were well appreciated like the local information left for things to do in places to eat. Very family friendly place.

Just What We Needed

It was my wife's birthday weekend so we booked a couple nights down in Waco. We have 5 kids ranging from 3 mo. - 8 yrs and they all thoroughly enjoyed themselves as well. They especially loved the tv room in the back with the games and couch. It was raining so we didn't get to fully enjoy the fire pit and yard games but our kids got in what they could on the back porch. Nothing about the house or the check out process was difficult or hard to figure out which honestly takes a load off your shoulders when you're out of town and in an unfamiliar place. Really it was such an easy weekend and just what we needed.

Nice Little House Conveniently Located

The Lyle house was a cute little house and met our needs just fine. The backyard was large with lots of things to do (cornhole, horseshoes, firepit, outdoor seating, BBQ) but the grass needed a mow and there was a decent amount of dog poo that we picked up so our own pups wouldn't mess with it. The house spacious with a nice work area in the back. Beware of spiders ... my husband was bitten by one when he was in the add-on room by the back door to the porch. It ended up being just a cobweb spider that we captured and released in the backyard and no reflection on the home, just a funny little thing that happened. We loved the location of the house. It's less than 10 minutes from most things like Cameron Park, downtown, Baylor campus, and grocery stores/shopping. It's a quiet neighborhood with friendly folks who waved to us every time we saw them. Our main recommendation would be to freshen the towels a bit more often. They all smelled musty from living in the bathroom cabinet of an older home. Overall, this was a nice place to stay. We would certainly book again!
