*Read complete description & house rules PRIOR to booking*

Eclectic home in quiet neighborhood with almost everything for complete comfort! Lots of space for get-together's. Groups use our home as a meeting place for Magnolia trips, Baylor events, holidays, reunions, weddings, sporting events and work lodging. Huge back yard for pets (fees apply). Sleeps 8-9 comfortably (based on double occupancy). TV's with Roku and Spectrum cable in living room and all bedrooms. Read full amenity list below.

We almost always stay in our little backyard house when guests are in the main house. This is not to keep tabs or because we worry about the home but because I traveled several years for work and because my health isn't what it used to be. I have developed sensorial issues and have low energy due to a mystery ailment, so walking 30 steps to my little haven takes me to another world where I can sleep in, binge watch mindless tv or spend hours hunting for treasures on FB marketplace. You may see us if we go somewhere or to let the cat in and out, but otherwise we keep to ourselves so that you can enjoy use of the full back yard.

I absolutely love being a home sharing hostess, and I want to make sure you have an amazing stay in Waco! Our home is about seven minutes off I-35 and only 15 minutes from the Silos & 20 minutes from Baylor campus/stadium. Can accommodate 8-9 people comfortably.

This is a nice neighborhood with established neighbors. Your stay will be quiet and comfortable.

Most likely, you'll need a car to get around unless you're an avid bicyclist or runner. The closest bus stop is about 1.5 miles away.
There is a good selection of fast food and a few sit-down restaurants within a couple of miles. Feel free to ask for recommendations!

This is our home, so most of our stuff is here. We ask that you don't open any locked cabinets/doors, that you only use space allocated for guests in dressers and closets and that you treat our things with respect and care. No parking on grass or in front of the mailbox. Other than that, enjoy the house to its fullest!

We had a great stay! Plenty of comfy seating to hang out. Great lighting in bathroom for putting on makeup. Nice backyard and big bedrooms with comfy beds. Lots of pillows and blankets. Plenty of towels and washcloths. Missi responded quickly to the few questions we had. Good trip…except for the game score LOL.

This is the best rental that we have every stayed in. Missy was great from the beginning to the end. Missy and Steve were the best as they made sure that we were comfortable and that we had everything that we needed. The house was clean with everything in place and easy to find and we felt like we were at home the entire trip. This is a home away from home that we will definitely utilize again and we highly recommend it for your next family gathering.

This was a wonderful home that exceeded our expectations in every way. The home was comfortable, beautifully furnished, in a great neighborhood, and everything was labeled for the guests’ convenience. We felt right at home the minute we stepped in the door. The owners, Missi and Steve, were such sweethearts and made our stay such a great experience. I highly recommend this home if you ever need a place to stay in Waco. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Quiet Home Away From Home
The check in process was unbelievable. House was amazing. It has 4 bedrooms. There were supposed to be six of us traveling but in the end there were only 4 if us, so each one had their own bedroom. Missi was great, and the house had everything that you could ever need, and was labeled. She even had extra board games (which came in handy, because we played all of the ones we brought). Just a little ways from the freeway, and a straight shot to Waco. Loved the House, and would definitely book again if going to Waco.
