    The home was very clean and just like the photos. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cook wear, utensils. The home was perfect for our needs. The only drawback is the house is on a busy street, and the front yard is not fenced so we had to be a bit careful with our dog in the event of a squirrel sighting.

    Adorable little house, close to everything, loved the fire pit outside. Would definitely stay here again, the only negative was the bed— it was very firm, too firm for our liking.

    This cottage was a wonderful option for our stay in Waco. We were there for 2 days mid week and had a great time. Its location was convenient to all the sightseeing I had planned and the cottage was very comfortable. Our pug loved it as well, especially the fenced backyard and the front porch for relaxing. Rebecca was a great host, lots of info in advance and quick to respond to questions.

    Visited Waco for an event at the convention center. This place was awesome. The host was very attentive and provided us with recommendations for food and activities. Home had everything we needed for our stay and was very pet friendly. If you like to bike or run, the hike and bike trails along the river were great.

    What a lovely little cottage for our mother/daughter/aunt trip! Bright, airy, refreshing, quaint, and spacious. Exactly as pictured but even better. Such attention to detail. Perfectly located, everything we planned to do (Magnolia Market and restaurants) within a 5 minute drive. We didn’t have a chance to use the backyard space but the front porch swing and rockers were very inviting/relaxing. We took Rebecca’s advice on restaurants: had a great seafood dinner on the river at Brazos Landing (reservation made), breakfast at Milo’s All Day (reservation absolutely needed), and dinner at Diamondback Steakhouse (reservation made). Each were fabulous. Leaving Magnolia Market we dropped into the Backyard Bar and Grill for some outdoor patio music and drinks. It was the perfect little weekend in Waco and the house was a large part of that.
