Stayed for the second time in less than a year...just as good as we remembered

Property was very well appointed with great instructions / communication from the property manager. A 100 year old home, but very well laid out and plenty of room for everyone. Good location and very secure. Hope to stay again!

Great place in Waco

We stayed here for Baylor graduation. We had older family members who needed main floor bedrooms. These were great. All bedrooms were very spacious & bathrooms were well equipped. AC was fantastic & house stayed cool. Outdoor area was amazing & we sat outside every night with twinkle lights on. Roberto was very responsive to our questions/needs. Would stay here again with a large group!

Perfect stay for my wedding weekend

My bridal party and I stayed here for the weekend of my wedding, and it was the perfect space for us. SO much space, great living/lounging areas, and a big dining room space and table that served as a great place for hair and makeup artist to work their magic. Would absolutely recommend!
