Sweet Retreat in Waco
If you are looking for a wonderful stay for a large family, friend group, or retreat, this is the place. The house feels safe, clean, and up-to-date. The home has 6 beds and could sleep 8 (maybe 10) people. We needed specific beds available for our group and this home accommodated those needs. The amenities were just what we needed. The hosts were wonderful communicators and helpful from the moment we booked. The price point to rent was very reasonable and felt worth it for what you received. We would definitely stay at the house again.
