About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Waco Wonders - just minutes from Magnolia/Baylor!

Welcome to Waco Wonders! You're perfect basecamp for exploring all the wonders that Waco has to offer. And with the game room full of arcade games, bumper pool, and poker table, two spa-like bathrooms, and well-appointed kitchen you’ll find a place to relax after a day on the town.

The house has been recently renovated and thoughtfully decorated. You may just find an attraction to visit from the stunning artwork showcasing many of the points of interest here in the heart of Texas. We want to welcome you and make you feel at home with amenities including:

Arcade and game room
Washer and dryer
Unlimited Wi-Fi
Sleeps 8
75” and three 55” smart TV
Central air conditioning

As you enter the house you’ll be in the bright, well appointed kitchen. Enjoy the smell of a freshly brewed pot of coffee while making some Texas-shaped waffles for breakfast. Or maybe just a quick cup from the Keurig before rushing off for the day. The dining room has room for eight so everyone has a place at the table.

Once in the living room you may not be able to choose between relaxing on the leather sofa watching the 75” smart TV or immersing yourself in the ultimate game room. Is chasing ghosts with Ms. PacMan or fighting off alien invaders, Galaga style, your thing? Or maybe 18 holes of Golden Tee 3D golf is more your speed. It’s been a long day, how ‘bout we just sit and play a few hands of cards or a game of Sorry or Clue. You can play bumper pool tomorrow…

“…the beds are to die for. I almost want to take the beds home with me!!” - Mai L., ‘23

The house has 3 bedrooms with beds even Goldilocks would approve of; not too hard, not too soft, but just right! The Bridges on the Brazos room has a king bed with an en-suite bathroom, desk and chair, and a 55” smart TV. The spacious Magnolia room also has a king bed, desk and chair, and a 55” smart TV. Just off the dining room is the Bunkhouse, set up with a twin XL over queen bunk and a twin over twin bunk, perfect for another couple or a posse of little buckaroos! And yes, they get their own 55” smart TV, too.

Both bathrooms are adorned with amenities to provide a spa-like experience. Lighted LED mirrors reside over the vanities and provide ample light to prepare for your day. The 8 spray pattern shower heads with handheld wands and Beekman 1802 Fresh Air shampoo, conditioner, and hand & body wash might make you want to stay in the shower all day! (Don’t worry, they’ll be there when you get back from your excursion.)

Guests have access to the entire home and there is off-street parking for 3 vehicles.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a safe.

Lovely home!

We stayed at Waco Wonders with family for our son's graduation weekend. The house was so cute, cozy, and had very comfortable beds! It was such a great home base for all things Waco and Baylor. Really liked the layout of the home, and the bunk room and video games are great for kids. Enjoyed our stay so much and great hosts!

Clean, fun, spacious, nicely renovated close to everything

The property was nicely remodeled and well thought through, gaming area was a nice touch along with wall art of local spots. The place seems brand new. Even with 8 people we all slept comfortably. If we go to Waco again we will definitely stay there.

Heart of Texas Show

The location was easy and close to Extraco events center which helped so much being at the livestock show and being exhausted to not have to drive a long way. The house was very clean and beautiful.

Wow! A New Favorite!

Our family has stayed at numerous Waco locations; we are regular visitors with kids at Baylor. This is our new favorite! The owner has done a phenomenal job outfitting this home. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for multiple homemade meals. We enjoyed the vintage video games and poker/pool table. A good Waco neighborhood. Also the host was extraordinarily kind and helpful in accommodating our last minute reservation. A great place! We have already booked our next visit. This will be our new go-to in Waco! Thank you for hosting us.
