The house was fantastic. It was great location for everything we wanted to do near the silos or anything related to Chip and Joanna Gaines. Couldn't recommend this house enough. It was honestly the favorite part of our trip.

This was a beautiful little home that was so cute and updated - a perfect getaway for the girls! It was very well stocked with amenities and snacks and extra blankets and pillows and towels. There was nothing extra I could have imagined needing. Such an easy walk to all the Silos and we really enjoyed their Milo restaurant recommendation- rain and all!

The house was wonderful! It’s so close to walk to the silos and even downtown. The beds were cozy we even at dinner one night at the house. The courtyard is cute and nice to eat outside at. Just a wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely be back! The bathrooms were so nice too.

Amazing Location and Beautiful Home

We enjoyed our stay in Waco at this property. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed for our stay. It is within walking distance to Magnolia Home and many restaurants and shops. It was just what we were looking for. Communication was excellent. Just a few suggestions: A luggage rack would've come in handy in the bedrooms instead of putting our luggage on the floor. Also, the concerts next door were fun to listen to but went on very late and was very difficult to sleep with the music.

Very comfortable and modern home

We gathered together to celebrate our oldest graduation from Baylor at this home. It had room for our family and it was cozy and inviting. I wish the weather would have cooperated so that we could have enjoyed the beautiful backyard. Beds are comfortable and the home was clean when we arrived. Accessing the house was really easy and not a problem. We are truly looking forward to another visit soon.

Lovely designer home with all the bells and whistles you’d want and deserve on a stay away from home and so close to Magnolia. Customer service and communication before, during and after on messaging was excellent! Magnolia market is a block away! Highly recommend this beauty! You’ll be highly satisfied!

A Charming Magnolia Retreat in the Heart of Waco!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the stunning home in Waco, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the beautifully designed space that seamlessly blended modern elegance with the beloved Magnolia charm. This home truly embodies the essence of Waco's rich heritage and the vision of Chip and Joanna Gaines. The attention to detail in every aspect of the house was impeccable. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by an inviting living room adorned with tasteful decor and cozy furniture, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. The natural light pouring in through the large windows showcased the thoughtful craftsmanship and meticulous design choices throughout. The bedrooms were elegant sanctuaries where I could retreat after a long day of exploration. The plush bedding, tasteful color schemes, and thoughtfully curated furnishings provided a sense of tranquility that guaranteed a restful night's sleep. I especially loved the attention to detail in the bathrooms, where modern fixtures and beautiful tile work elevated the overall experience. Not only was the home itself a masterpiece, but its location was also ideal for exploring the wonders of Waco. Situated in the heart of the city, it offered easy access to the vibrant downtown area, where I could indulge in local cuisine, boutique shopping, and immerse myself in the city's culture. Additionally, being just a short distance away from the renowned Magnolia Market at the Silos was a dream come true for fans of the Gaines' empire. Lastly, I must commend the hosts for their outstanding hospitality. They went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was comfortable and memorable. From the warm welcome to the prompt responses to any inquiries, their attentiveness truly made me feel like a valued guest. Overall, my experience at this home in Waco was absolutely exceptional. If you're seeking a luxurious retreat that beautifully embraces the Magnolia aesthetic, I wholeheartedly recommend booking this gem. Prepare to be enchanted by its ambiance, impeccable design, and convenient location. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing property

100% as advertised. Gorgeous home that gave my wife and I tons of ideas. Distance to Magnolia was perfect. Host was perfect. I had no contact with them verbally. Had everything set up so we didn’t have to speak. Amenities were well done. My only issue was essentially Magnolia is on the edge of blithe. Although the area is improving quickly we did witness a little downtrodden individuals. Not a reflection of this property or its owners. Waco is in the middle of a renaissance and is doing well to push out the bad and rebuild. Had a wonderful trip with my wife. Highly recommend this place of visiting Magnolia.

Short stay in Waco

One of the best vrbo properties I've stayed in. Great styling, fully equipped kitchen, lot of amenities, oversized shower, great host. Kids had a blast spending time outdoor for a movie night using the projector. The only downside to me is the noise from the concert nearby that didnt stop until midnight. There are earplug and white noise machine provided but to no avail. In the end we still love this place and rank top among our stays. Unfortunately we only got to spend one night as a stop point from our drive to Dallas and wish we could spend more time there. Certainly will be back again in the future.
