Historical home in downtown Waco built to host the dreamiest stay!

Welcome to the Dr. Pepper House, one of Waco's most beautiful and historic homes. Built in 1885 by Wade Morrison, the original founder of Dr. Pepper, the home has since been renovated in the early 2000's by Christian rock singer, David Crowder. We are located less than a mile from the Magnolia Silos, Downtown, and many other Waco attractions. Perfect for families, you will love all that this charming home has to offer!

Other things to note

Amazing property! Entire family had a great experience!

Every aspect of our July 4th stay was exceptional!!! I will start with the basics. Pre-visit/check in was easy and intuitive. Space for 4 vehicles inside the gated area with plenty of street parking that felt safe. The house cooled quickly and was VERY comfortable throughout our stay. There was plenty of room for the 12 of us. Each sleeping area was unique and can accommodate a mixed group. The king bedroom was especially luxurious with its own master bath. The 3rd floor (loft) has ample room for 4 with a shared bathroom. The other 2 queen bedrooms each have a nice bath as well. The bedroom with 2 twins is tied to the laundry room. There is a TV room upstairs with a smart TV. The main floor has a large kitchen that overlooks the giant backyard. Plenty of eating areas, kitchen and adjacent dining area and 2 large sitting areas. Again, plenty of room for everyone to relax. The Gameroom above the detached garage is huge! Nice pool and ping pong tables, plenty of room to enjoy both, AC was comfortable with a nice TV. A lot of fun nights spent here for us 12! Now, to the best part of the property. The backyard is huge! There is an open green space, large, covered area that includes a TV, Sonos sound system, plenty of seating, sink, grill. Oh, and the pool! This is the largest pool I have seen on a property. Plenty of room for fun for the entire family. We never felt crowded. This property is by far the best property I have visited. Thanks to our host for everything!!!

The Dr Pepper House is amazing.

I’m hesitant to share our experience, so it doesn’t get too popular. We want to stay here again soon. It’s breathe-taking. Great location, so many great spaces for a group or big family to settle into, to hang out, to just enjoy :).
