Wonderful & Relaxing Stay!!!

We really enjoyed our experience here! Clean and quaint room, super comfy bed and very kind and attentive hosts. We highly recommend staying here. It was a nice quiet location and it had everything we needed. It was a nice change from a standard hotel, it made our trip to Waco more meaningful. Check-in was a breeze and the location was perfect. Thank you so much!

The Nest

The nest was perfect for our getaway. The cottage was cozy and quiet, great for my husband and I. It is just outside of Waco, so the traffic was minimal but within minutes from Waco attractions.

Nice little cottage for two in a quiet little area. The hosts were very responsive and had everything you would need at the cottage. There is a great covered porch to eat outside if the weather cooperates. We will definitely be back to this charming retreat.

Baylor University move in

This was a bitter sweet time as I was in town to help my daughter move into her new apartment for year 2 at BU. The Nest was a perfect place to rest in between and hold intimate conversations with my daughter. Kyal, our host, was very attentive to our needs and quick to reply. We even stayed an additional night without hassle. The kitchenette was key to save money as this trip was quite costly. This cottage was charming, provided all we needed and I hope to return with my husband.
