We loved the house and Ashely was informative and quick to respond. It met our needs just fine but the surrounding neighborhood gave the ladies a little pause about being there. We didn't encounter any issues, it just felt a little rough at night.

Cleanliness could have been stepped up. Kitchen cabinet doors were dirty, household trashcans dirty, under beds dirty, oven and broiler need cleaning. Things travelers need such as luggage stands, towels racks for the bathroom, extra toilet paper and paper towels should be standard items. The place met our needs although, they did not let us know it was not handicap friendly. Should have handicap bars in bathrooms and tubs should have non slip surfaces. Suggestions: Cutting board, colander and big salad bowl. Using the oven as storage makes it difficult to use.

We were in town with framily for our anniversary. The Central Cottage was just that, centrally located for all our plans. The cottage was large enough for our group of 6 adults and was clean. Loved the backyard area, but only got to use it one night for a small fire. Would definitely stay again.

It was a cute little house and perfect for our needs. There were six of us and we all had plenty of room. We even brought one of our cats and we were able to set her up in the mud room. While we were not able to use the backyard (time and weather did not permit it), it was inviting as a nice place to gather. There was plenty of room as well for two vehicles to park in the garage. We would definitely book this property again.

I recently stayed at this property, and I must say that our experience was just okay. There were some positive aspects to our stay, like the enjoyable fire pit and the corn hole, but there were a few issues that left us somewhat dissatisfied. First, let's start with the cleanliness of the property. While it was mostly clean, we were quite surprised to find dog hair on our linens. This was a bit off-putting and made us question the thoroughness of the cleaning process. Another concern was the size of the bathrooms, which we found to be on the smaller side. This may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, but it's worth noting for those who value spacious bathrooms. Perhaps the most significant issue during our stay was the presence of a groundkeeper. He showed up unannounced on one occasion, and to make matters worse, he was also there when we arrived. His behavior was rather unsettling as he failed to acknowledge our presence and only said something after I approached him to inquire why he was there. Even on a subsequent visit, a day later, he worked in the garage and left without acknowledging us or explaining his purpose. I must give credit to the property owner for being responsive to our concerns, as they did their best to address the situation. However, the whole incident left us feeling very uncomfortable during our stay. Overall, this property has potential, but the unexpected and unexplained presence of the groundkeeper made our experience less enjoyable than we

The house is cute and was comfortable for the three of us. The neighborhood was a nice and quiet area. We were able to navigate to all the areas we wanted to see in Waco. We had to be extremely careful in parking our rental car on the driveway. The right side of the driveway has a huge hole on the left and needs to be fixed, it could cause major damage to a car.

Cute little house in a quiet neighborhood. Most Waco attractions are within 5-10 minutes. Excellent communication from the host! Would definitely recommend. My only issue was the small size of the refrigerator. We bought groceries for 7 people, for 4 days before we got to the house and didn't realize it was a "dorm sized" fridge so we had to get creative. That's probably my fault though. All in all, great vacation house!

We stayed in this cottage for 2 nights as we were on a family road trip. Plenty of space and had everything we needed during our stay. The neighborhood is peaceful quiet, just minutes away from downtown with lots of shopping and many food choices! I would book this cottage if we visit Waco again.

Our stay was EXCELLENT! Ashley was a phenomenal host who made sure we were well taken care of. Check in and check out information was clear, the house was clean (which always makes it easy to take care of.) It was a great location to all the sights. All in all, I would definitely stay here again. 10/10!!!

This home is great! From the check-in to the final locking of the house, our stay was as smooth and peaceful as we could ask for! Any question we had was answered promptly, even when we forgot something and went back after checking out. Definitely would stay again!

We were traveling with 2 big dogs and a cat. We picked this location since it was a short drive to everything we wanted to check out in Waco, and seemed well set up to accommodate pets without a lot of potential for trouble, like fragile knickknacks. The neighborhood was quiet and the beds were comfortable. The backyard set up didn't look as nice as the photo's, and you have to exit the back door of the house and go thru a gate to get to the backyard. I had to put our dogs on leash to do this because I can't trust them to make that short trip without getting seriously distracted by the local cats. The description states cable/satellite TV, but it's streaming only -Roku, Sling & Netflix are provided. Otherwise I would say it was exactly as advertised and as shown in the photos.

It was a place to sleep and a hot shower. We felt safe and comfortable. The living room furniture seemed old and the carpet was dirty. There were long white animal hair’s found throughout the house. This appeared to be the work of a first time flipper. It just needs a little more attention to detail.

Great host and communication. Would recommend for groups of 6 or less. We had 7 and listing states up to 8. Sleeping for over 6 is an air mattress or futon, which is not comfortable. Host was receptive to feedback on this and needing more silverware for larger groups.

My family and my sister's family rented this cute cottage for the weekend in order to visit my daughter, who is a student at Baylor. We loved how close it is to campus and to downtown. And we loved being able to stay all together instead of at a hotel. We will definitely rent this place again!
