GLOT Stay
Everything was amazing with the house and with the ladies I communicated with. The only issue was with the size of beds and bedrooms in bedroom 1 with the twin bunk beds. Not the properties fault. But just a heads up they aren’t big enough for adults over 5’ tall and 150lbs. So we’ll need to find something more accommodating for seven grown Men for next year.

Weekend at Waco Surf with the Boys
My family and two other families took our four boys to Waco Surf for a last "soak up the Summer" trip. The four bunk beds were perfect! The three specious bedrooms and bathrooms accommodated the rest of us so well. The best mattress I've ever slept on! Quiet sweet little country neighborhood, complete with a friendly orange cat who would visit you during your morning coffee in the yard. (We called him Rusty). Loved it all. We'll be back for sure.
perfect.

Clean and quiet
The Gathering Place is well-suited for Waco stay. Very clean and comfortable beds. The bunkbed room is small for adults, but would be fine for children. A little farther from downtown than I would have liked, but booking on short notice, I had little choice.
