This house is an ideal choice for a girls' weekend or for 2-3 couples to share, especially if in either case you plan to spend lots of time in the kitchen. The home's decor is cozy but more beautiful and interesting than what you'll find in the best hotel. The beds are super comfy. The rooms are larger and more spacious than I realized from the online photos. Oh and from here, you can walk to several cute shops and restaurants plus Pinewood Coffee.

The perfect place to stay in Waco! I’m actually from Waco and had some friends stay here and I cannot tell you enough about how perfect the location is for this cottage. A very beautiful, quiet walkable neighborhood in historic Castle heights, two blocks from one of Waco’s yummiest restaurants (Harvest on 25th along with many others) and cute shops and just 5 minutes from downtown and all things Magnolia and Baylor! The hosts are absolutely incredible and the home that they have designed for your rest is truly that… a home that is quaint, cozy and restful ensuring your stay is nothing short of exceptional! Kitchen is fully stocked beds are super comfy and parking is plentiful! Would be the perfect place to have a small family gathering or a girls weekend away as it has plenty of places to gather and catch up and it photographs beautifully too! Can’t say enough good things about Josh and Jill and the impeccable attention to detail and care they take of this home! You won’t be disappointed!
