Check in was super smooth and our hosts were great.
Gotta be honest the neighborhood was sketchy. There was a fight in the streets on our second night there. It would have been nice to have a lock to put on the gate for the night.
The house was beautiful and well kept.
Great suggestions for things to do and places to eat

In 2022 we reserved Franklin’s Waco Cozy Cottage for five days so that we could view the 2024 eclipse from Waco with 100% totality. We were worried from 2022 to 2024 that Franklin might cancel our stay so he could charge more money by rebooking the week, as happened to a friend of ours. Franklin was the most courteous host! When we needed to downsize our stay (again worried) from 5 nights to 3 nights, he was gracious about the change. He even got me on a conference phone call with VRBO so he could make sure the refund was processed correctly through VRBO.
The Cozy Cottage is a dream home! The house was depicted correctly online, but it was even nicer and larger than we expected. The living room is super comfortable. It was nice to return to the Cozy Cottage to relax after a day exploring Waco. The home was put together with a decorator’s touch. Everything felt tranquil and well thought out. The beds and pillows are comfy and clean, as was the entire 3 bedroom home. What really appealed to us was the huge backyard. We had so much room for an eclipse viewing party for the four of us.
The Cozy Cottage is perfectly located for exploring Waco. We were minutes from the Magnolia Market & the Silos, Magnolia Table, Pivovar (the biergarten is wonderful), Slow Rise on the Brazos restaurant and Moroso Italian.
Do not hesitate to rent the Waco Cozy Cottage. Franklin & Gladys deserve the designation of Premier Hosts!

Thoroughly enjoyed our Cozy Shack stay. The location was 10 minutes to anywhere! The Silos, the Suspension Bridge, all were a short drive. The home was comfortable, we enjoyed the faux fireplace and sitting around the dining room table. The departure requests were easy and simple, strip the beds, put out the trash and run the dishwasher! The fridge will be totally empty so bring what you need. Some spices, pam etc in the pantry. There were plenty of towels and the beds were comfortable. The bed in the third bedroom was close to floor, no boxspring, but was great for us in case the 2 year old rolled out! (she didn’t tho). TV in living room and one in the master bedroom. We would stay again.
We had made a reservation weeks in advance for Magnolia Table. Enjoyed lunch at Union Hall, basically a food park. Shopped at H.E.B. for groceries. Enjoyed the local parks and the sculptures along the Brazos River. Have fun in Waco!

My family stayed at this property while we moved my son into his freshman year at Baylor. It was perfect for our needs. It truly is cozy and the beds were super comfortable. The living room was great to hang out and watch tv as well. We loved the secure feeling of closing the gate at night. Property owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here while helping our daughter move. The house was very relaxing, from the comfortable beds to the extra long couch and chaise we could stretch out on at the end of a long day. Very clean and great communication from the owner!

We were in town for the regional skating competition for our 6-year old daughter. Perfect location for us to drive to both rinks. Property was great - super clean and had everything our family of 5 needed. Rarely do my husband and I find a bed as comfortable as the one we have at home, but we were so pleasantly surprised! I'm always cold so was glad to find the many extra thick and soft blankets provided. We will definitely stay here again for next year's meet!

This house was great. We were a little iffy about the neighborhood by the looks but it was quiet and no issues at all. Wonderful stay!!

This was perfect for us. We had an Eastern Star event this weekend and needed a base of operations. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-stocked. What impressed all of us was how quiet it was inside the house. No street noise and we couldn’t hear each other, either. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and look forward to booking again.

Great house that feels like home. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute. This home is clean, beds are comfy, and the house is adorable. We were a group of ladies only and we always felt safe. I highly recommend staying at the Cozy Shack.

The main bathroom toilet had a lot of urine on the lower area. Needs a good cleaning! The bathroom also needed soap for hands on the sink. All in all it was a nice place and close the where we were shopping.

This property was great for our stay. My husband has to work in Waco (on-site) once per quarter and I decided to join him this time with our teenage daughter. We had enough room and I worked remotely from the dining table. Would suggest the owner put a desk area in the large living room or dining room as the dining table was not too comfortable for working remotely, but overall the place was perfect. Did laundry, good showers with adequate water pressure and comfortable not cheap beds. The ceiling fans are a plus to keep air moving and the AC blew cold, even though it was January. We also liked the gate we could close behind the car and added that extra sense of security as the neighborhood looks a little questionable but we never felt unsafe. Overall we will probably try to stay here for a week each quarter of the year because we like it so much! Thanks for a great stay. Also close to restaurants and the grocery store!

This house was perfect for our family girls weekend. Close to downtown and Magnolia/Silos. The house was clean and well furnished. If I need a house in Waco again I will definantly see if this one is available.

We stayed here for Christmas and enjoyed the comforts of home. They put a Christmas tree up for us, had all the kitchen necessities we needed and the beds were very comfortable. It was a great location as it was close to Baylor, downtown and Magnolia. We also made day trips to Austin and Fort Worth.

This owner has gone the extra mile to have their place be as clean and fresh as possible. Everything is in "New" condition, and very well maintained. Many extra little perks provided as well. Absolutely wonderful!

Nicest VRBO I've ever rented.
This house was absolutely gorgeous and comfy. The owners really paid attention to the needs of the renter. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and sufficiently stocked for someone staying for a week or longer. They thought of everything. Ample kitchen utensils, cookware and spices to make it feel like home. Tv's, games, info about the town, bathroom essentials, superb bedding and sleep arrangements. The AC was perfect for the HOT weather. I definitely recommend this place to call your home away from home! Thank you!

We were excited to be able to stay in Waco, close to all of the attractions. The only downside was the accuracy of the sleeping arrangements. It is advertised to sleep 8, but there were 3 bedrooms and no available pullout couch in the common room. Sleeps 6 comfortably. Would love to visit Waco again.

The location may seem less “fancy”, but the neighborhood was quiet and neighbors friendly. The location was very convenient to everywhere we needed to go. The inside of the house has been completely updated and the beds were extremely comfortable. The air conditioning worked very well and my entire family felt comfortable. The water pressure was strong in the showers and super hot. It was very nice. We were definitely surprised at all the extra supplies offered from cooking spices to laundry soap. Great Owners!
