Cute little spot that needs a little fixer upper.

I like the idea and think it was well executed. The unit i stayed in needs some repairs and a new matress. Other than that its well worth the stay.

Weekend getaway with family

Took my two teenage daughters to Waco for a long weekend in the springtime. Lovely property with a few units. Our unit was perfect for three. Very tidy with all that we needed. Especially loved the rooftop deck to sit in the early mornings and in the evenings. Thank you!!!

Sleeping arrangements

We loved our stay and used the air mattress which was great. It would have been better if there would have bedding for it. Pillows, sheets, and blankets specifically for the air mattress. Other than that we enjoyed our stay very much.
