We had such a nice stay at this home. The check in process was easy and the owners kept in touch all during our stay just to make sure we had what we needed. Location is great- just 5-6 minutes to Baylor and the Silos. Everything was clean and comfortable. Will definitely stay here again.

What a wonderful place to enjoy a small group of family. So beautiful! Everything was provided. If I could give a score of TEN, I would. Roomy, clean, comfy, safe, AWESOME NEIGHBORHOOD! So close to Silos and other Waco fun!

We picked the house based on proximity to Cameron Park and the house provided exactly what we needed. A good common area for our group to start and finish the day at and easy commutes to Cameron, Brazos East and Lake Waco Golf Club, not to mention an even shorter drive to Magnolia. Will try to get it again if we come back next year for the Waco tourney.

My two sisters and I enjoyed coming to Waco to check out the Magnolia Market and had a wonderful time at your charming house. Wouldn’t change a thing about the inside. However, we were slightly alarmed at how unkept the yard and landscape was when we first saw where we were staying. Our fears quickly changed when we were inside. The first impression could be worked on. Lovely, lovely accommodations though. Thank you.

This was my second time staying in this charming property. First time was with my then high school-aged son and a few friends and this time with my aging parents who needed us to be in a one-story property. The property is updated and super clean with special touches for guests throughout. The location close to downtown Waco and to Baylor. Communication with the property manager was excellent. Highly recomemnd!

We will definitely be visiting this home again! It’s proximity to Baylor University and the silos, which were two points of interest for us, made it an ideal location for our family. The neighborhood is safe and quaint, and the home is clean, updated, very lovely.

This house was wonderful. Beautifully decorated, couch was very comfortable, safe neighborhood. You will have to drive to the Magnolia Silos, but nice neighborhood for evening walks, and sitting on the porch. Loved having the laundry detergent to do laundry (not just a one load pod) plenty of coffee and creamer and we loved the popcorn to pop upon arrival!
The only thing I would recommend is the master bedroom needs a blind over the window behind the bed. The outside street light is very bright at night and the window covering was very sheer.

This was a well maintained, clean property. We enjoyed our stay there. However, we were not familiar with Waco and did not realize we could not walk to the Silos even though they were very close. It was a trip to remember for us!

The 4 D's (4 sisters: Debbie, Donna, Danette & Danita) had a wonderful stay at Sweet Retreat! We highly recommend others to enjoy it as we did!

Our stay at this property was quite lovely. The home is a beauty just as pictured. The neighborhood is quiet and clean and easy to navigate around Waco. The home is spacious and the openness and light makes for a perfect spot to gather with our family.
Our family of four came to do the junior ranger badge at the Mammoth monument and of course to experience the Magnolia Silos.
There were plenty of local places to eat and explore while there and the house was centrally located to it all … within a few minutes of the house.
Communication with the hosts was easy and swift.
This will definitely be a place to return when we venture back thru Waco.

Quite possibly the nicest house we have stayed in, and we are VERY picky in terms of location/cleanliness/etc. This house blew us out of the water-we had all kinds of fun plans to do while visiting Waco, but all we wanted to do once we got to the house was relax and enjoy the beautiful home and yard. We could have stayed all day long on the front porch-the weather was gorgeous and it was so peaceful sitting in those rocking chairs!
Truly an amazing house-so close to everything, yet felt so private and very safe. It was extremely clean and laid out wonderfully-we would literally book our next vacation to Waco around when this house has availability, if that says anything! Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

This house was my favorite VRBO to date! Clean, comfortable and had the perfect charm! Plenty of space for our family of four while we were in town visiting family. We very much appreciated the extra amenities like laundry facilities, hand soap and other toiletries. Close proximity to all the Waco sites.

Perfect house for a girls weekend to stroll through Waco! My Mom, Sisters and I couldn’t stop talking about how warm and cozy this home was. It was well stocked, the beds were nice and it was extremely clean. Great location. It’s also just a few blocks away from Chip & Joanna’s castle.

This property was located in the perfect area of town. Lots of space. I wish the back fence was completely enclosed. Overall, it was a wonderful stay.

The pictures and description of the home on the website were right on. The home is immaculately clean and comfortable. The high ceilings, tall windows and doors added to the historic flavor of this completely updated 100 year-old home. We enjoyed our 5-day/night stay immensely. We plan to book it again for our next trip to Waco.

Clean, Comfortable & Convenient
We stayed at this house during my wife’s birthday trip to Waco to visit Magnolia Market. House was pretty clean and comfortable. Rocking chairs on the front porch were a nice touch. Tiled kitchen floor needs a lot attention to fix a couple of tiles, but overall the historic house was all it was advertised to be. Thoroughly enjoyed our short stay!

Comfortable setting in quiet neighborhood
We brought our youngest son down for Baylor Orientation and Line Camp. My husband, my mother and I spent the week in the house. There were plenty of towels and linens and throw blankets--my 85 year old mother gets cold even when it is blazing hot! We found enough cooking pots/pans/accessories to cook what we needed. The oven is very accurate and doesn't appear to have any hot spots. My husband enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels play. Since we live in a desert, we don't see that at all. On our last night, I wanted to celebrate my oldest child's birthday. He is working all summer at Baylor. He had two friends and their parents join us---ten of us in all. The eating area was spacious enough to accommodate everyone and there were plenty of dishes and utensils. Cooking for that many people in a kitchen that is not your own can be daunting, but we pulled it off! We would definitely stay in this beautiful home again while visiting Waco. Thank you so much to the owners.

We felt at home here. The beds were comfortable, the living room was cozy, and the rooms and bathrooms were spacious. Only downside was the curtains let a lot of light in, so our 4 young children were awake at 6:30am every morning. We would stay here again.
