The house was very clean, not cluttered, calming, comfortable, decorations were perfect and the right amount--cute little touches. They use eco friendly hand soap, dish washing liquid , Myers, hair care and body wash. The hair dryers worked great as did the coffee pot, stove and tea kettle. The AC worked perfectly. The house is centrally located, in a good location and we didn't have any issues. The host, Phylisia, was very responsive and easy to work with as was VRBO. We would definitely stay there again. TY.

Liked: Cleanliness
The overall place is nicely appointed. The climate control was great, but the house needs some work. The floor tiles slide in multiple places when you walk and my son slipped and fell to the floor, the dishwasher is not secure in it's spot, the bathroom with tub didn't drain, the master bath right sink didn't have hot water (warm) and plumbed on the wrong side. The pans and dishes were dirty. The property manager was responsive and willing to work on the items but we held off since we didn't want the disruption due to our sons wedding. Once we checked out, the property manager told us a ceramic figurine was broken (we didn't break it) and she would charge us 15 and then said never mind. Location was okay.

Sisters reunion

Our stay was for 5 sisters ages 69-82 and 2 spouses. We come from New York State, Minnesota and Texas. So Waco was a good spot to meet. And there was the attraction of the Magnolia Market/Silos. The "cottage" fit us well. The living room had comfortable seating for everyone. Perfect as much of our time was spent talking and visiting. Plenty of bathrooms.....comfortable beds and central air conditioning! This was important as temperatures outside were unusually high for the time of year. Overall, the house deserves a high rating.

Pleasant Enough I Guess

We had a fairly pleasant stay . 2 things were wrong about the listing. 1. A comment said the neighborhood wasnt good. It was fine 2. The listing said Magnolia Silos was 2 Streets took over 20min by car to The house was in great shape very comfortable except the beds. One family member had to sleep on the coach because the bed was so hard. Some bedroom doors would not latch.

Perfect house!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay!!! The house was so charming (exactly like the pictures!) & had everything we needed. Check-in was seamless, beds were comfortable, A/C worked great, washer & dryer are very new. All things that seem minor, but can tend to be the luck of the draw with short term rentals. The absolute best part is that check-out was SO EASY. We were basically instructed to not worry about anything, they would take care of it. After traveling cross-country to celebrate our son’s graduation from Baylor we were tuckered out & that was a very nice surprise. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone coming to Waco.

Great house for 8!

We loved staying at this house in Waco! The house was charming, clean, and located in a great spot. There are only beds for 8 and it said it sleeps 10. We had to look around for other bedding and did find an air mattress. But loved the house and would definitely stay again.
