I love hosting Airbnb guests as it is the way I love to travel myself. The Cottage in Cameron Park provides a fun, relaxing oasis to do as little or as much as you want. I'll make it a superior guest experience for you!

THIS PROPERTY IS NOT PET FRIENDLY
Mr. Wilson the Beagle, a rescue dog lives onsite and will we be looking forward to welcoming you. Please be sure the gates are closed behind you so he does not get in the front yard. Beagles possess an exceptional sense of smell, if any food if left outside he will be there to take advantage of the opportunity! Fun fact, Beagles have 225 million scent receptors compared to a human that has 5 million. All 225 million are working for Mr. Wilson!

There is a treat jar inside with special doggy treats if you want to make fast friends with him.

NO SMOKING
Absolutely, NO SMOKINGg inside the home or within 25 feet of any exterior doors. Any smoking evidence will result in a $500.00 fee for oder removal, including duct cleaning, furniture, bedspread and carpet cleaning.

A wonderful stay over Thanksgiving

My parents and nephew enjoyed their stay at the cottage! The cottage and property are full of character and charm. The grounds were shaded and the paths led to all sorts of pretty areas to sit and linger in the outdoor space. Thank you for a wonderful stay for my family. We all loved meeting and playing with Wilson too!

Can't wait to visit again

We were in town 2 nights and loved our stay at the cottage. The cottage was cozy and the grounds were beautiful. Everything we needed and more was thought of. Very easy check in and out. We loved our daily visits from the pups. We will be booking again for next year when we come back to Waco.

Read before you choose to stay!!!

While the place is very nice, it was not what my husband and I expected! We saw all different types of statues, a ouija board, and signs around the property that made us feel uncomfortable. We didn’t even stay the night and told the host we didn’t use the bathroom or touch the bed and still didn’t even get a partial refund. We left because we felt uncomfortable and you could tell evil is in that property so be aware!

Close to Magnolia, not close to clean or cottage-like

Although you are about 10 minutes from Magnolia and the towels were good quality, but that’s pretty much where its charms end. I wish I could post photos. There are cumbersome gates and codes to pass through on your way in and on your way out. The actual property itself does have 2 beds; however there were corners cut on bedding and looked dusty/smelled musty. We were lucky enough to have brought a diffuser so it didn’t smell that way. We found roaches scurrying around and my sister and I didn’t feel comfortable not wearing shoes because the floor is all concrete except for the bathroom tile. The decor is…odd. and. dusty. A golden girls pillow, a brass monkey lamp, a flying wood angel on a string, a painting with voluptuous latin women with mustaches in a bustling market, a race car driving helmet???, 3 of those bending anatomical sculptures from Ikea (I guess this was the most updated..but…odd), a stuffed curled up beanie baby life size cat on the bed. The bathroom fans were caked in dust and we found out once we tried to use them when we showered. *shudder* The pipes to the bathroom sink suspiciously quaked and rattled to the outside of the bathroom. The cantina we only saw the last day because it rained the whole time, but that bathroom…it was clear it had been given the majority of attention with soap, towel, granite countertop, and new trendy sink fixtures. It seemed a little slap in the face that it wasn’t consistent with what they provided in the accommodations of the actual rooms. The sheets…we decided it best to use the camping blanket I had brought instead. The whole cleanliness of the place was questioned after the roaches and dust were prevalent. The property decor and cleanliness looked like it was neglected overall. A life size statue was laying flat on the ground with leaves scattered and covering parts of it, cantina chair backs dirty, just a sight. There were a few baby lizards that darted around in the bathroom, which didn’t bother us in the slightest. However, we tried to reach out to the owner about the cleanliness and didn’t hear back until the end of the stay where it seemed we didn’t have the right contact info? Then someone did text and we let them know about some of the issues and received no response. Avoid this place. Find a hotel. We nearly stayed in one, but our reservation was non refundable….and oddly the overall price was a pretty penny. Don’t make the same mistake.

Lovely cottage

We stayed in the cottage during a football game weekend. The cottage is behind the main house situated in the garden area. Extremely cute cottage with two queen beds, small kitchen, closet and bathroom. Loads of art in the cottage and on the grounds. The homeowners are super friendly and accommodating. Wilson the beagle snuggles with you on the porch at night. I would absolutely stay here again and hope to do so in the future.

Experience that lasts!

This was an amazing property! Despite the heat we had, the only thing that could be missing is a pool lol. Seriously though, the owners made sure we had everything we needed, they checked in with us and made sure we had snacks and water. They left us a cute note and a bottle of wine to start off the stay. The area was very relaxing and everyday I found something new on the property that i didn’t see the day prior. They did a great job delivering on the experience they have created. The cottage is cozy and the towels and beds are comfortable. We will definitely book again!

Backyard Oasis

If you are looking for a quiet, serene, welcoming place to just be and relax, this is it. The cottage is tidy and comfortable and the decor is wonderfully eclectic. The grounds, though, are what make this property special. It is quiet and private and the owner has created a place that is soothing to mind and soul. There are trees and little nooks to rest in. There is an outdoor kitchen and a path that wanders through and everywhere you look there are little objects of beauty. It is not picture perfect, but it is lovely in its uniqueness. Highly recommended.
