The area is an older area but a nice, quiet and clean neighborhood. The house is spacious and plenty of sleeping space for the whole family. The kitchen is small and not stocked very well so bring all the things you need if you don’t eat out a lot. Communication with the owners was great and the check in check out process was easy. I would stay here and recommend it to anyone.

Quiet and peaceful stay

We stayed in this cottage for 2 nights as we were on a family road trip. Plenty of space and had everything we needed during our stay. The neighborhood is peaceful quiet, just minutes away from downtown with lots of shopping and many food choices! I would book this cottage if we visit Waco again.

Great family weekend

My family and my sister's family rented this cute cottage for the weekend in order to visit my daughter, who is a student at Baylor. We loved how close it is to campus and to downtown. And we loved being able to stay all together instead of at a hotel. We will definitely rent this place again!
