We had the best time celebrating my daughter's 14th birthday and attending a Baylor Football Game. This was truly a designer's dream. The furnishings were 5 Star as was the home design and layout.
The homeowners even had a treat waiting for us upon arrival. It's the little things that make a big difference. You must stay here if you are planning a weekend in Waco!

We enjoyed this beautifully decorated house close to the silos. The house was clean and well stocked to meet our needs. Cute yard with a fire pit. The house has an alarm for added security. We were very comfortable during our stay. We highly recommend and our family would stay here again.

When you stay at a VRBO, you always wonder if the pics and description accurately represent the property. In the case of the Halet House, it’s even better than described / shown (though Angela did a great job with pics and description).
When my wife and I walked in the front door, we both said, “Wow!” in unison.
Everything is first class, from the decor and the bedding, to the towels and toiletries. I’m not sure Angela and her husband could have done it any better.
Truly a great experience. We highly recommend The Halet House.

This property is top-knotch as far as design & elegance. The owners did a great job building in the prime location with plenty in the area and within the doors to fully immerse in the culture of the town of Waco. The owners equip the property with most amenities a family would need. However, it is a little high maintenance with a list of to-do’s upon checkout. Communication was great throughout the stay, when needed.

Really nice and decorated very well. Very close to Magnolia. Big backyard as well, if you want the kids to run around.
My wife and I were in one room, and the other room had two queen beds - 2 kids in one, and 2 kids in the other. Very comfortable

The stay at this Halet House was wonderful. It was close to everything and the house itself was so nice and decorated with great taste. Even though the weather wasn't great, we were still able to enjoy Magnolia, eat at MagnoliaTable and binge watch a Netflix series!! Just what we both needed and so fun!!

our stay at the Halet House was highly enjoyable! The home is absolutely beautiful, getting in and out was an easy process, it’s within walking distance to Magnolia. We LOVED our stay, we felt like fancy people staying here for a few days!
.
What we didn’t know; being out of towners, is the area that surrounds magnolia and a lot of these BNBs, being that they are in a very low income area and initially, when we drove in we felt very unsafe, however the security systems in place on the house made us feel safe!
Thank you so much!!

House is absolutely beautiful and just a short drive to Magnolia. It’s a perfect rental option if you love Joanna’s style. Be aware there are many rules to staying here so it’s not the place for you if you want to fully kick back and relax like you are at home. I was happy to take more care as it’s such a pretty house. Neighborhood is not super, but seemed safe enough. All in all, I’d defiantly stay here again if visiting Waco.

Didn’t Disappoint
We were in Waco to attend an orientation at Baylor; the location was perfect. We were minutes away from campus as well as shopping and eateries. The house was perfect and very inviting.

Perfect experience
We had an amazing time in Waco. The property was exactly as listed and even more perfect in person. So many details thought out that made the home both beautiful as well as comfortable. The home perfectly tied into the Magnolia theme and complemented the entire trip. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Best VRBO Ever!
There is not enough space for me to say enough good things about this location. First it was absolutely gorgeous! It had everything - soda in fridge, stuff for s'mores including a fire log for the fire pit, games in cabinet, even toys for our one year old granddaughter. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Property, Subpar Location
This is a stunning property but is located on the same block as low income housing. We felt safe inside the property but the street it was located on was on the sketchier side.
The beds are very comfy and linens very high quality. However, the place does come with a pretty hefty rule book you have to follow to a T to avoid getting fined in addition to the already high cleaning fee. For example, they request you wash your face before going to bed to avoid getting makeup on the pillowcases. It was a bit overkill and we did feel like we were walking on eggshells. Because of all the rules we felt it took away from the charm of the property.
All in all it is a really beautiful well decorated home but would probably not stay again or recommend it because of the complaints stated above and the plethora of other rentals to choose from in the area.
