Great house with lots of character and charm. Our family stayed for Baylor parents weekend and it was the perfect spot.

Cutest place with huge Primary bedroom upstairs. Note there is a spiral staircase to that room so someone staying up there should be able to navigate steep stairs. However, there are three good sizes bedrooms downstairs! The home is perfect for a group to gather. We felt safe in the older, partially renovated neighborhood and walked a little over 2 miles to Magnolia.

This house was AMAZING. We had two families (four adults, six kids), and there was room for everyone (some kids shared beds). Parking in the back was incredibly convenient and we were close to everything we needed to get to for a family wedding we were traveling to Waco for. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms had tons of space. If we ever go to Waco and need a place to stay, we will definitely rent this house again.

This home was everything we hoped for and more. It was a perfect girls getaway for 7 friends. The home was clean, neat and well stocked with everything we needed. It was close to downtown and all the fun activities we chose to do. We highly recommend Holy Shiplap.

4 of us stayed here over the weekend and really enjoyed ourselves! Some of the best towels ever! Porch and porch swing were wonderful place to spend a spring afternoon. Very close to all the fun stuff to do. very large back yard and parking area that made having multiple cars a breeze!

8 ladies from our family ranging in age from 20's to 60's enjoyed our stay at Holy Shiplap. Courtney has made the place comfortable and includes sundries that are a nice touch. Glad to have had the chance to experience Waco during the special Silobration weekend!

I gave the neighborhood a less than perfect score because the neighborhood is "hit and miss" in terms of how the homes have been maintained. That said, this home was in a great location to visit Magnolia and Cameron Park/Brazos River area. It has the original wood floors and lovely furnishings. The host has thought of every detail. The primary bedroom is up the winding metal staircase and so worth the climb. We had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.

We were in Waco for our daughter’s Baylor graduation. This was the perfect place to stay with plenty of room and worked perfectly for her small graduation party. Very clean and comfortable, and well stocked. We had our family of five (youngest is 17) and my husband’s parents, and we all had our own space. Thank you!

This property is nice. Lots of character. Bed were comfy and clean. Only issue is the house had that old house smell but other than that it was a nice place. No local TV.

This is a wonderful little gem of a property!! It is exactly like the pictures and then some!!! The beds were all super comfortable, there was even a basket with toothbrushes/toothpaste, which was perfect because one of us forgot our toiletries. The bathrooms are stocked with shampoo/conditioner/bodywash/etc and very nicely remodeled. There are 2 full baths downstairs and one full bath upstairs, so we had lots of space for the 5 of us to get ready. Everything was very clean and super cute decorations! We enjoyed a day full of Magnolia fun and a quiet night in of door dash, wine, and good company. Plenty of room for everyone to lounge and catch up comfortably, and then spacious room to have our own space for sleeping at night. The loft bed and master bedroom upstairs are super cute, but you do have to climb a beautiful spiral staircase to get up there (with your bags) so that space may not be practical for everyone to get up/down from easily. The master bedroom was very large, and the loft bed is right off that and above the living room area...it's tucked away where you can get a good night sleep and not be disturbed if others are up in the house downstairs (with being reasonably quiet). Everything about the house is super charming and the host was very responsive!
We felt very safe in the home and there is great parking behind the property, which was perfect, because the house is located directly next door to and across from two different businesses. We were there for a long weekend though and didnt hear a peep from them. It's also a typical Waco neighborhood, where there are some older homes in dis-repair, alongside gems like this that have been beautifully restored. It was a quick maybe 10min drive to the silos and downtown activities and was the perfect spot for our group of five for a long weekend girls trip! I would definitely rent this property again in the future!

This home was described as "perfect" by several attendees. Good communication with host. We cooked most meal while there and the kitchen was the best supplied of any vrbo property I have used

We loved the property! Unfortunately, we didn't get to hang around and relax at the house. We wished we would have had one more day to do just that.

We stayed here for a Baylor/UT basketball weekend and it was great! We slept 7 comfortably and 10 would have been easy. The kitchen is awesome for cooking, gathering and snacking plus there's a great dining table for games and sit-down meals. Parking in the back of the house accommodated all of our cars so we had safe, easy access. I would stay here again!!

It's a beautiful property that looks to be remodeled by Magnolia Farms; Chip and Joanna Gains. It was fun to see the style and restoration ideas that were used in this remodel.

In town for a girls trip and the Lasker house made us feel right at home!

We travel together twice a year - 4 couples, ages 65-80. The house is lovely with ample room for conversation, meals, games around the table and space for storing food, etc. The host provided coffee fixings, ice maker kept up with us and the island in the kitchen had lots of room for serving. I recommend picking up some trash bags to place on the floorboard of your car due to white rock residue in parking area that spreads to vehicles. Only minutes from Silos. Great host!

We stayed for 4 days, 3 nights and still felt like we didn’t enjoy everything the house had to offer! Courtney was fantastic in answering all questions we had, and the welcome book had some great suggestions that we took for meals around town! Super adorable historic home, will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Waco!

Wonderful stay- clean, inviting, comfortable, easy to find and park.
We loved the house. The location was perfect for Baylor, airport, and silos. It was clean, organized and safe, easy parking, nice bathrooms and comfortable beds. The AC and fans were perfect especially with 107 degree weather! The communication and the pictures were accurate. Everyone loved it.

Amazing!
The house is stunning! Fully equipped with everything you could think of. The owner, Courtney, was responsive, great to work with, and thought of everything! The house was a great size. Perfect for our group of 8 ladies. We were within 10 minutes of any place we wanted to go. The neighborhood is okay. We never felt unsafe but it is definitely an up and coming area. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Beautiful -good location
We had a girls trip to see the silos. The house was perfect for our needs. There are a lot of small touches that made it feel like home. The master bedroom was dark and cold. I haven’t slept that well in a while. I’d stay here again and recommend to anyone!

Gorgeous, fully equipped home
We were in Waco for our daughter’s graduation and this was such a perfect home! All the extra touches (toiletries, robes, popcorn, snacks) made it inviting and comfortable.
As with similar reviews, the area left a bit to be desired but we had no issues.

Exceeds expectations!
This house was so spacious for our group for girls weekend. Clean house, beautiful kitchen, great amenities, Courtney was kind and responsive when needed. My only advice would be to add a full length mirror somewhere in the house. Everything else was perfect!!!!
