Great stay to enjoy Silobration

Lori’s a very generous hostess. Her Haven home is very comfortable and decorated adorably. She stocked the kitchen with waters, snacks and breakfast. She was easy to reach before and after our stay. I would highly recommend staying here and we would return for sure.

There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe the hostess or the property. This experience far exceeded our expectations.

Baylor 50th Reunion

Three lifelong friends who met at Baylor when freshmen in 1970 came together for our 50th reunion. The Haven provided us a very comfortable place to gather to celebrate and reminisce. The location in the Woodway area was convenient to many major roads in & out of Waco. Plenty of restaurants were nearby to make it easy to plan dinners. The neighborhood was quiet and the house simply & pleasantly appointed. The perfect spot for our reunion group!

Super comfort

We came to Waco to watch our son compete in the iron man. We visited Magnolia market and saw some of downtown Waco. Would have enjoyed more time here as it is a very cute location. The neighborhood was quiet and my son and I biked around it. The house had everything plus. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed all the extras provided. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice home away from home

This place is very homey. You can tell Lori puts love and thought into the decorations, furniture and the extras inside and out. She has thought through many little things that you want/need when staying away. I came with my daughter and almost 3 year old grandson. He loved our "Texas house" and wants to go back. I'm from New Hampshire, so not sure if I'll be back. but if I do, I would definitely stay here! Thank you Lori!
