The Space:

Things are bigger in Texas – You will truly have space to spread out and enjoy a good night’s rest with 3 bedrooms having king-sized beds and the remaining 2 rooms having queen-sized beds. For your comfort, all beds have the highly rated Casper mattresses. There are three full bathrooms so everyone will have easy access. All rooms have a desk so you have your own space to get some work or reading done if needed.



More than just wall art – Throughout the house you will see original paintings and photography. We are excited to be partnering with the Kieran-Sistrunk Fine Art Gallery in Waco to feature and offer for sale several local artists’ work. Not only does this provide a unique environment for the house, but it connects you to some of the creatives in our community.



The Neighborhood:

Location matters – You will be 10 minutes or less from the major attractions Waco has to offer: Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Magnolia Market, Silo District, Downtown District, Cameron Park & Zoo, Brazos River, Dr. Pepper Museum, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, and another Texas icon – an HEB plus! grocery store. You are walking distance from bike rentals, eateries, a brewery, and the Brazos River. The Waco Riverwalk has over seven miles of paved and lighted paths along the shores with water toys available to rent. You are also across the street from Wilbert Austin Sr. Park with its covered playground, basketball courts, etc.



Other Things to Note:

Mid-Mod, Texas Style – You, your family (including your dog) and your friends can enjoy this spacious five-bedroom, three-bathroom, 1950’s single-story, ranch-style house. It is newly renovated and reflects its mid-mod history while embracing its Texas roots. Your family and friends will appreciate being able to hang out in the great room, kitchen and around the large dining table. Enjoy time around the fire pit and play some cornhole in the fenced back yard.

    It was nice to sit around the fire at night. The rooms are all a nice size. Everything you would need is already in the house. The house was done very nicely.

    The house was really decorated cute. We enjoyed the backyard and fire pit as well. Our host was easy to work with.

    Wi-Fi is an issue and the tv doesn’t work without the Wi-Fi. There is only one tv in to entire house. The property could be cleaner, very dusty as if it hadn’t been used in quite a while. Great location near the university and stadium. Plenty of room for a big family like ours. Thanks for letting us rent!

    We had a party of 12 - 6 adults and 6 children ages 1 year to 11 years old. The house was perfect as far as rooms, bathrooms, kitchen fully stocked and large backyard. This home was close to every attraction we visited, zoo, Hawaiian Falls, museums coffee shops and the Homestead. My only issue was the floors of the house should have been cleaned better. The bathroom floors had human hair and there was a lot of dog hair particularly in one bedroom along with the rug in the den. other than that, the house was great, and I would rent again.

    The house was perfect for our stay while visiting Waco for a wedding. There was plenty of room for all 5 couples to feel comfortable, and it was equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood is a bit run down, but would still book again.

    The place is a great place for a long get-together; enjoy the large backyard, grill, and fire pit. The indoor has a lot of board games and is near many attractions like the zoo, Brazos River, and Mongolian market.

    We had a group of six adult women celebrating our time together at Baylor after 50+ years. The home was perfect for our group. The spacious home with five bedrooms and three bathrooms made for a perfect scenario to accommodate our group. The location was perfect for all the activities we wanted to enjoy. I would recommend this home to any and all.

    The neighborhood while convenient to everything is a run down neighborhood. Did not feel safe to walk around. Night time on weekends was busy with car traffic and party noise. The floor plan was ideal for our 7 nomen (one handicap) bedrooms separated. Beds and furniture were comfortable. There were minor issues lighting plumbing appliance related. All addressed timely when possible but not completely. The overall renovations were good.

    The home was very spacious. Each room large and uniquely decorated. The kitchen was very well stocked, can't think of anything we didn't have.
