LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! A warm welcome awaits you at the cute house with the bright door and signature chevron wall. Poppy & Rye House is a cozy retreat nestled in the heart of the Silo District... private and relaxing, yet right in the middle of Waco's biggest attractions. We've been recognized by HGTV's top designers, featured as a top Airbnb by Levi Kelly, and frequently selected for photo shoots by leading retailers.

WE ARE OFFICIALLY LICENSED WITH THE CITY OF WACO: #STR000781-07-2024

The space
Bright, light and airy with pops of poppy red and handcrafted pieces, it's the best of the old with the luxury of the new. The interior was thoughtfully designed by Dana with original shiplap, bead board, and hardwoods that are beautifully blended with all new modern decor. Rye -- a Harp Design Co-trained craftsman -- has crafted one-of-a-kind pieces throughout the home.

We have 3 bedrooms with 3 FULL bathrooms (a rare find!). Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms for ultimate privacy. We're located in the heart of downtown Waco, a short walk to the Silos, on the next block over. Relax with friends and family on not one, but two, of our large porches (front & back!), or enjoy the private fire pit area in the backyard.

5 Reasons You'll Love Poppy & Rye House

1. Take the short walk to Magnolia (next block over)
2. Settle in to our cozy Adirondack chairs around the fire pit in our backyard
3. Grab a morning cup of coffee at Magnolia Press (just around the corner)
4. Listen to live music at Backyard (check their calendar to see who’s playing!)
5. We're LOCAL. No 3rd party managers for us. You'll have direct access to the owners!

(If this property is unavailable, be sure to check our other Airbnb just down the street -- Poppy & Rye Cottage.)

Guest access
Full access to the house, driveway and private fenced backyard (with gate). Check yourself in with Schlage Smartlock keypad and one-touch lock as you leave each time. (No keys to keep track of!)

Other things to note
The front bedroom has two (2) twin beds with slide out trundles for four (4) total beds if needed. (Handy for kids / extra guests.)

We're within earshot of the Backyard venue which has live music from leading musicians / bands on Thurs, Fri and Saturday nights. You can sit around the firepit in our backyard and enjoy your own "private concert". A plus for most! BUT, if you're the turn-in-early type, we have ear plugs and noise machines on hand to block out the music completely. Check Backyard's concert calendar to see who's playing while you're in town — just a short walk around the corner.

Neighborhood highlights

What makes our neighborhood special? So many things! The music! The shopping! The entertainment! But most of all, the LOCATION. You're literally steps away from Waco's main attractions. Like many downtown neighborhoods, ours is diverse and rapidly changing as more features and attractions come to Waco.

Where I went to school: Baylor
I'm obsessed with: Woodworking
We are Dana & Rye, mom-and-son superhosts. In 2018, we took our homes down to the studs, then reimagined and restored them ourselves. A bit about us: Brett (dad) is a teacher, Dana (mom) runs a non-profit - The LV Project, and Riley (Rye) is a Baylor grad, home builder & woodworker. "Poppy" — our grandfather and inspiration — was a farmer, journalist, professor, & poet. His poems grace the walls of our homes. Making you happy makes us happy!
