Baylor Orientation and Line Camp

We chose this property due to the close proximity to everything. A quick 5 minute drive to Baylor University. It is a quaint property. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evenings. We were close to the Brazos River and the walking trails. We will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely historic home

The property is over 100 years old and has a few quirks but they only add to the charm. The remodeling is well done. Bed, living room seating and dining area were all comfortable and above expectation. Fenced yard was great for our dogs. The owner was quick to respond and very accommodating. The only negative was the road noise from loud music/engines of vehicles.

Girls trip

I traveled to Waco with two friends that had not been to Magnolia Market. Check in Friday was easy. The house looks just like the pictures, very comfortable for the three of us. Our host texted me several times while we were there to check on us. The location of the house made it easy to go to the Market and restaurants and bars that had been recommended to us. I would definitely book this property again.

Great getaway!

The property was great! Maggie made the process so easy. The place has everything you would need and more. It was close to the silos and Magnolia Table and had a nice park nearby where we could take the dogs. We highly recommend this property! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Perfect for girls trip

Cameron Cottage was everything we could have hoped for and more. This host thought of everything, there was even a very well stocked hot chocolate bar. Christmas decorations were adorable and a wonderful added touch. We loved it so much we added an extra day on to our stay.

New Years Eve

We had a quick two night stay over New Years Eve and the property was perfect. Plenty of room for our family of 3 and two puppies. Maggie was great and allowed us to gain early access as we arrived sooner than expected, and checked in with us during our stay. Great location and very close to Magnolia and the Silos.

Clean & Cozy

We’ve been traveling across country for several weeks. This place by far was the cleanest and very comfortable with a magnolia feel. The host was very responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate our family. Will def recommend to our friends & family in the future.
