New! Cheerful cottage filled with art and books in the heart of Waxahachie

Welcome to the Little House of Books! This luxe two bedroom, 1 bathroom house has the best of both worlds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Little Creek Trail and Chapman Park and yet is adjacent to bustling Highway 77 and all of its shops and restaurants. It's a three minute drive to Waxahachie's iconic dowtown square.

Guests can enjoy an art- and book-filled retreat with cozy seating for reading after a busy wedding, girls' night out or work trip. This house sleeps up to four, making it ideal for couples and families or small group seeking a taste of the Crepe Myrtle Capital of Texas.

This 1950s house has all of the charm you would expect in a Waxahachie home. Original hardwood floors, four over four windows and elegant molding. Each bedroom in kitted out with luxurious linens, ample closet space and ceiling fans.

The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, large pantry with a few basic staples and a built-in wooden ironing board original to the house. The house also has a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room, as well as a spacious fenced backyard for soaking up the Texas sun.

We loved staying in this beautifully maintained 1950's home. It was very clean and had everything we needed. A lot of work went into preparing for our stay and we really appreciated it. The home was adorable, The beds were extremely comfortable and we felt very safe. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, somewhat busy street, only because it is so close to town. We left the home and in just a few blocks we were in the middle of town. It was great. The host was super helpful. She communicated when we needed her to and the notes she left us were perfect. We would definitely recommend a stay at the book home.
