Conveniently located closer to downtown Waco for easy access to the convention center. Well maintained property! Will book again next year if available.

We had to drive back and forth between Grand Lodge and Lee Lockwood. This house was perfect for our group. Nice and clean, everything worked, and well-stocked. Quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to everything. Hope to be back next year!

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

We enjoyed our stay at Waco. The house was comfy and cozy for the family to enjoy!

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!

Nicely furnished.

It was a nice clean place. The managers were responsive. We enjoyed our stay.
