Great location

Guests who stayed here in the past year loved the location.

Dedicated workspace

A common area with wifi that’s well-suited for working.
The German Schmear Cottage is tucked away on a quiet street in the Mountainview area. It is centrally located (HEB, Target, and Starbucks are right down the road) and only 10-15 minutes from downtown, the Silos, and Baylor.
Once a detached garage, this 400 square foot space is now a cozy, modern living space and is on the property of the main German Schmear (fixer upper) house, which is also a vacation rental. See pictures for more detailed information about the tiny house.

The space
This newly renovated tiny house offers a quaint living space, kitchen, full bathroom, large closet, and a lofted sleeping space. Refer to the pictures to see the staircase that leads to the loft, in which there is a queen mattress.
The cozy kitchen provides a full refrigerator, a stove, a microwave, a coffee maker, coffee, a toaster, and an electric stove (no dishwasher).
The full bathroom is stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, cotton swabs, cotton pads, and a hair dryer.
The cafe lights create the perfect ambiance for the outdoor living area.

Guest access
Please make yourself at home! If you need to use the fold out couch, all the linens and pillows that you might need are tucked away underneath the couch.
Extra bath towels are located in the closet and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook a delicious meal. The kitchen does not offer smaller appliances (ie. blender, food processor).
The AC unity is controlled from a remote - detailed instructions are available in the tiny house. The TV offers cable (there is not apple TV or a DVD player).
The staircase is completely safe to access the loft...however, it is very steep. Please be cautious. We do not recommend that children use this staircase.

Other things to note
The large picture windows in the tiny house look out onto the backyard that is exclusively for those who are renting out the main house on the property. Please only use the backyard that can be accessed through the french doors in the tiny house.
There is a gate that leads to the larger backyard space (the iron gate and the wooden gate) - please keep those gates closed.

Lives in Waco, Texas
Hi, we are Jeff and Sara Jones. Baylor University and our church here in Waco allowed us to cross paths. Not too long after college we both made the trek to Knoxville, Tennessee. As college ministry staff with a local church, we had the privilege to work with some incredible students for two years. After much transition, we are now back in Waco, Texas and proud to call it home. This city is quaint, friendly, and ever growing. Check us out on (Hidden by Airbnb) for more photos. @thegermanschmearhouse
