This is our fifth year with a student at Baylor and the first time we stayed outside of Waco. We got a puppy last spring that we want to take with us on travels, so we had to switch to booking dog friendly properties. Despite being outside of Waco, the location is a vers easy drive to Baylor and downtown. Plenty of room for our family and loved the big fenced in backyard for our pup (he loved it too!) we didn’t do any cooking this time, but the kitchen is well equipped. Also liked the large driveway with lots of parking, and the in back porch. Everyone remarked that it was nice to stay somewhere quiet without street traffic noises. Will definitely stay again!

Great stay!

The house is located just outside of Waco in Robinson. The neighborhood is quite and feels like being in the country, but you are only minutes of everything you need in Waco. The house is spacious with plenty of room for family members to spread out. The screened porch was a favorite of mine and the kids. The kids also enjoyed the arcade will we watched the Mavericks win the Western Conference Finals in the comfortable media room. If you like the look of the house on the listing, you won't be disappointed when you arrive. Great place and made some good memories!

Came into town for Labor Day weekend to visit Waco.
This rental was super cute, just outside of Waco on a quiet street. Close to everything we wanted to get to, had everything we needed, check in was super easy and really good communication from the property owner. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

This is a roomy house and everything was in order, including live plants. K-cup coffee pods were supplied as were hand soaps in all bathrooms and the kitchen. Every cleaning and laundry product you would ever need were also provided. We typically don't wash clothes on a three-night stay, but I stained a white golf shirt and had everything I needed to treat the stain and wash/dry.
This property is away from noise in a semi-rural setting and is easily accessible from the roomy concrete driveway and parking area. The entry lock is easy to use and the best system we've seen, after wrestling with others that were not as simple and intuitive.
The host was very responsive and made us feel welcome. I would highly recommend this property to couples who like to spread out and families that need three bedrooms and rollaways.

When we first walked in we were so pleased. The house is well decorated with plenty of space for a larger family. We had 3 adults and 3 children in our party and the house worked well for us. The large yard was great for outdoor play, and the sun porch was nice for those of us who wanted to stay a bit cooler under the shade and ceiling fan. The large soaker tub in the master bathroom was a huge hit. As was the arcade games upstairs.
This house is lovely, we highly recommend.

This farmhouse was perfect for our girl’s trip. The decor, cleanliness, and very roomy feel was fantastic. The owners communicated with us easily. The home is well stocked for every need and could accommodate easily more than our 3 adults and 2 babies. Super comfy beds in each room. We will definitely stay here again.

This home is even more impressive and expansive in person than it’s pictures reveal. Large and welcoming. with high ceilings, and beautiful decorator touches. Everyone was comfortable, and it made a perfect setting for our Baylor graduation brunch for 15-18 dual family and friends. The screened in back porch overlooking the expansive back yard and Adirondack chairs made a great place for the younger guests to enjoy each other. Would definitely stay again! And Meryl was a perfect host. Thanks so much!

We have a large family (7kids) and were visiting while are son played in the Little League World Series. The house had everything we needed. We initially didn’t know if we’d be there 4 days or 7+. When we were told we needed to go a day earlier, the host quickly accommodated. The house was beautiful, clean, and had plenty of space for our large family. The location was rural and safe but close enough to everywhere we needed to go. We have shared the property with several friends and hope to be back for college football games soon!

Wonderful and relaxing!
This house was perfect for our stay! We traveled for spring break with our four children ages 12-18. There was plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The backyard is huge and allowed me to sit in the sun and read my book while the kids played. The large bathtub was a treat and another fun way to relax in the evenings! The house is clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed this space so much that one afternoon they specifically asked to go home and just play instead of more sight seeing!
