THE COTTAGE@CHAPEL RIDGE #1 in Waco for Exceptional reviews! Ranked #6 in all TX

Welcome to The Cottage at Chapel Ridge! I am THRILLED to have TWO special getaways to share with you in wonderful Waco, Texas:

The Cottage at Chapel Ridge (this listing)
The Haven at Chapel Ridge (#729987)

They've finished their fixer-upper journeys from drab to fab. Please read their EXCELLENT reviews and know you are in for some wonderful stay when you book!

I have remodeled every inch of these gems. These houses have great bones and have been a true labor of love for me, right down to the shiplap walls and barnwood mantels! I have a passion for hospitality that really shines through in these comfy home-away-from-homes.

Read The Cottage’s 365+ FIVE STAR reviews and rest assured you are in for some true southern hospitality and an ultra-clean stay!

This retreat is blessed to be ranked #1 for FIVE-STAR REVIEWS on Waco's VRBO platform! The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is ranked #6 in the entire state of Texas (out of 29,500 properties). 😊 The Haven next door is ranked #2 in 5-star reviews on VRBO Waco and #7 statewide!!!

COTTAGE DESCRIPTION
This freshly-remodeled quaint cottage-style 2 bedroom, 2 bath home sits on a quiet tree-lined street right next door to its sister property, The Haven. The home sleeps 8 comfortably with one queen bed in private suite, two double beds in generously-sized 14'x17' suite and new sofa bed with upgraded queen-size comfy memory foam mattress.

Gather around a large kitchen table with room for 8, enjoying all the well-stocked, bright and airy kitchen has to offer. The Cottage is also stocked with waffle fixings and a hotel-style flip waffle maker as well as snacks sure to please. S’mores fixings and a generous snack basket will greet you upon arrival!

Enjoy the high-speed internet and 50" HDTV (equipped with Roku system, complimentary Netflix already logged on) and fireplace in the living area with convenient patio access. A cozy fire table outside and BBQ grill (both are propane) is also available for use in a charming, private outdoor space....perfect for s’mores under the cafe string lighting.

Both bedrooms also have HDTVs with Roku, comfortable bedding with plenty of pillow options...20 to be exact, ceiling fans, and sleep therapy clocks.

The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is ideally located, on the edge of the desirable Woodway/Hewitt area of Waco, within 15 minutes of downtown. For Fixer Upper fans, The Cottage at Chapel Ridge is situated exactly halfway between Magnolia Market at the Silos AND Chip and Joanna's first vacation rental, The Magnolia House. The Cottage has one of Chip’s props from the show...great for a fun photo op!

A public splash pad is available at Chapel Park, just around the corner from the home (1/3 mile away) and is perfect for the kids. Beach towels and sunscreen provided.

No pet fee WITH approval! (Dogs and/or small animals in crates permitted. For allergy reasons, no cats.) The backyard is fully fenced.

Charming Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. The neighborhood was quiet, but convenient to all that Waco has to offer. The interior of this sweet home was clean, comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed. The decor gave it that extra special charm that makes you feel at home. Our Host was so helpful and welcoming. It is definitely a place you can call your “Home away from Home”.
