Lounge on the inviting front porch swing, or head to the spacious backyard for a relaxing retreat. The open living room boasts stunning herringbone flooring salvaged from the bakery, while the pantry doors were a magnificent find from the garage renovation.
The fully equipped kitchen is ready for anything, while the upstairs bathroom is a true masterpiece with a wooden beam and rock from the house's exterior. And if you need a quiet spot to unwind, the upstairs office/reading nook is the perfect place to kick back and relax.
While most of the homes featured on the show are chosen by couples looking for a new place to call home, this particular property received some special attention from Chip and Jo. The couple purchased it as an investment property before completely envisioning and remodeling the home.

Car is recommended.
Uber is available.

While the home was originally celebrated on the show for its uniqueness from their other properties, it still features the signature Chip and Jo style that we all know and love. The Giraffe House exudes a cozy cottage vibe with modern upgrades and eclectic touches that will make you feel right at home.

PLEASE NOTE: Please note that the Master Bedroom, bathroom, and office area are accessible via steep stairs, so they may not be suitable for all guests.
The upstairs office adjacent to the Master bedroom and bath has padded seats and may be suitable for a child to sleep. We also provide a Play n Stay for our small travelers.

    The house was a perfect place to enjoy some family time during Baylors Family weekend. Absolutely loved the kitchen and dining room for gathering. In the late afternoon, after all our sightseeing, shopping, and cheering on the Bears, I enjoyed reading on the front porch swing.

    We travelled from the UK to stay here as we are huge Fixer Upper fans. It was 5 mins in any direction to several great Magnolia landmarks - Magnolia Table (we ate here forBreakfast and dinner and both were amazing.) we visited the Castle Chip and Jo fixed up, Hotel 1928, and of course the beautiful Silos! All were so close. Our kids were 7 & 11 and loved Cameron Park zoo. Also the play set in the garden made their stay - they were on it every day. We loved sitting on the front porch swing in the evenings. The house is beautiful in every way. Thank you for a great stay!

    The Giraffe House was a beautiful home to stay at for our visit to Magnolia Market. This was a bucket list for my mom. We had a girls’ trip and we loved it. Waco Tours taught us so much about Waco and where we should visit. We loved dating in a home from Fixer Upper and done by Chip and Joanna. The home is not walkable to the Silos, but we had a rental car and that was fine. Home was clean, beds were comfortable and check in was super easy. I highly recommend!

    Visiting Baylor with my son we stayed a couple of nights. Explored the neighborhood and enjoyed our stay. Take some time to sit on the front porch and soak up some sunand listen to the neighborhood on a Sunday morning.

    I was in Waco with my mom and sister for a girls trip and we loved being able to stay in a “Fixer Upper” house! The home was beautiful and was very clean. Everything there was very comfortable and we appreciated all of the information that the hosts gave us. The only negative thing we have to say was that when we first got to the house it was FREEZING. The house was set to 58 degrees and it took a while for it to heat up to a comfortable temperature. We would still stay here again when we come back again some day.

    We loved staying at one the Fixer Upper houses. Everything we needed was available. The neighborhood was a little disappointing but we all felt safe. The backyard was nice for our youngster, but some overused toys and other items could be removed. Fresh paint is needed on the front porch and back door.

    LOVED the house! It's so much fun and functional! We have a toddler so the playground in the back sold us, then I fell absolutely in love with the convertible toilet seat for the little one. All the details in this house are perfect. We love to take family walks, so on the first night we walked a couple of blocks and turned back, that's the only negative. Never felt unsafe in the house, just not a really walkable neighborhood.
