Many guests return year after year, praising the comfortable beds and how at-home they feel
Built in 1954, this charmer is in a quiet neighborhood, set back from the street with a big grassy yard and mature landscaping (huge shade tree in backyard!) plus beautiful original hardwood floors. With that as the base, we have completely renovated it to fit today's style with a modern farmhouse vibe and updated ammenities! 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms (including a relaxing soaker tub). All furniture/linens/beds/utensils were purchased specifically for a comfortable vacation house.

The space
A comfortable home with the vacationer in mind. We use this house as our own family vacation spot so we found pieces that would be comfortable and relaxing and make us feel like we were on vacay in Waco but with a home away from home" feel. It's Texas, but not over the top cowboy decor. we like to describe it as "Bohemian Western". We have added a new concrete driveway and carport to keep your cars covered, rain and shine. The back patio is covered as well with outdoor seating, hammock, propane grill, and string lights. A well appointed kitchen stocked with quality supplies (pots/pans, crockpot, skillet, etc) spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds (Zinus memory foam mattresses and guests always rave about their great night sleep.), big living room with an amazing denim sectional couch, plus plenty of other seating for a big group get-together. the dining area seats 6 for meals or board games, and the three generously size bathrooms each come with shampoo/conditioner/body wash/lotion. The laundry room is stocked with detergent and dryer sheets, plus outdoor equipment like camp chairs, cooler, and beach towels for your Waco adventures. The big private backyard has covered patio seating, outdoor lights, hammock, and a propane grill. The TV console has a great ambient fire light and the large screen Roku tv ready to stream your Netflix, hulu, etc. Free wifi, of course. Pack-n-play/crib, highchair, and Bumbo seat are provided for babies/toddlers.

important note: the AC works great, but please DO NOT put it lower than 70 degrees. otherwise it can overwork, freeze up, and shut down. it cools the house well and we usually need a throw blanket when it gets down to 72. there are ceiling fans in each room to help with circulation as well.

Guest access
Keyless entry to the "entry room" off of the driveway. We will message you the door code the day of your stay. Once inside the house, there is a set of keys to all doors for additional entries.

Other things to note
We provide coffee, tea, sugar, and cream. In the fridge is a pitcher of cold water. There are spices, olive oil, and non stick spray in the pantry. we try to provide necessities and a few extras to welcome you! The kitchen is stocked with cooking supplies for basic breakfasts and dinners like a taco night. There is a propane grill on the back patio. With so many great places to eat and enjoy in town though, we hope you will go out and experience those too!

We have a laundry room stocked with detergent, bleach, and dryer sheets for the washer and dryer. In the laundry room you will also find a cooler and four camp chairs to use on your adventures (swimming holes, waterparks, picnics, tailgating, etc.), beach towels, and lawn games.

the bathrooms have shampoo/condtioner/bodywash. the soaker tub has bath bombs and Magnolia candle for a truly relaxing bath.

I have a Waco Guidebook here on airbnb that lists places to eat, visit, and experience while in town. You can also follow my properties on IG for more photos, video tours of the space, and local insights. @waycoolwacobungalow @waycoolwacohouse

Neighborhood highlights

Waco is in the midst of becoming a destination place and the town is being revitalized. With the success of Magnolia, tourism has been booming and so has the growth of this town. With that, you get a lot of vacation rentals, intermixed with older and often run down homes. The closer you get to downtown, you will find cute airbnb houses BUT they are surrounded by poverty and crime where comfort and nighttime safety can be a concern as well as a lot of road construction noise. This is why we specifcally chose a house a BIT farther away from downtown in an established neighborhood. The house is centrally located for easy access to all that Waco has to offer. Please note that Waco is a diverse town and we like that our house is in the middle of older couples, young families, singles, etc with white and black and brown colors. If you are looking for a neighborhood all ONE color, this is not it, and that is not Waco!

Hi, I'm Sadie, born and raised and still live on the central coast of California. In 2020, I purchased a home in Waco, TX so our family could watch my niece play volleyball at Baylor U! The WAyCOol House has western vibes- sleeps 8; great for the whole crew! A year later, I added the WAyCOol Bungalow with Magnolia vibes-sleeps 4; a great weekend getaway. i pride myself on a better than home way from home stay. I hope you enjoy my place, thank you
