This home is absolutely gorgeous and you'll want to spend some time taking in all the special design details. My garden club of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our time here and wished we could have stayed longer to cook a meal in the kitchen that had every single thing you could want including spices. Even a fancy espresso maker, frother, etc. Pristinely clean! My only complaint is that the master bed was not at all comfortable with some kind of weird pillow well that my arm kept sinking into. Also, I did not see anything in the listing that says the master does not have a private bath. It is shared with one of the queen bed rooms. Not ideal but we made it work. The neighborhood is older and beautiful with those gorgeous large trees. The backyard had a large lawn area, adirondack chairs, a picnic table and a firepit We would stay here again but maybe give the king bed to our kids.

My sister and I surprised my mom with a trip to Waco for her birthday. We shopped at the Magnolia shops and stayed here one night. This house blew my mother away. We knew she would love the décor. She was sad we could only stay one night. It is so beautifully decorated and the kitchen is huge. We will be back!

Our family all enjoyed staying here. There are great foam mattresses so no problems sleeping all night. Plenty of room for everyone. Would definitely use again. Thanks!

The house is beautiful with quick access to many activities and sights. Weloves our stay - would definitely come again

It's even better than the pictures. Everything was comfortable and stylish. The backyard is big. Josh and Jill were very accommodating. Thank you for a wonderful place to watch the miraculous solar eclipse.

Decorated beautifully

Four siblings and two spouses travelled from the Province of Saskatchewan in Canada to visit Texas, as this is where our father grew up. We went to the area he was, but also wanted to see Magnolia in Waco. The cottage was so spacious and decorated beautifully! It felt luxurious! We gathered around the large dining table to visit in the evening, and to eat a home cooked breakfast in the morning. We felt at home. It was one of the highlights of our trip.

My friends and I recently visited Waco for Spring at the Silos and stayed in this cute bungalow. The kitchen was well stocked, the home had beautiful furnishings and the beds were very comfortable. It has the potential for a five star rating that many others have given it. However, there were several maintenance items that need attention and the outside was very neglected. We were not able to enjoy the fire pit as we had hoped. I shared my feedback with the owner but didn’t get a reply. I hope that they spend some time getting the property back to the condition that everyone sees in the photos.

This home was absolutely stunning and perfect for a fantasy book club girls’ weekend! The home is bursting with character, beautifully and comfortably furnished, and very clean. Could not have imagined a more unique stay. Only minor critiques would be that the back yard around the fire pit was very overgrown with weeds and desperately needed some maintenance, which made the space uninviting, so our group didn’t use the fire pit as we had planned. Also I feel I should have received the check in code through the app rather than having to text the host when I arrived. While the host was helpful and professional, I feel all communication should be had through the booking app.

Always a great time. Perfect house for family and friends to gather when we visit our Baylor girls. Well appointed kitchen allows us to stay in and cook so we don’t have to eat out every meal.

The property was just as described, and the hosts were helpful, attentive, and responsive. Our girls' group had a great time, and appreciate the hosts' recommendations on the area.

My sister and I loved our stay at the Writer’s Cottage! The home is absolutely beautiful. Every room has those little touches that make the space unique, whimsical, & aesthetically pleasing. Josh was a great host, with quick responses to questions. Directions were clear and accurate. Parking is easy, location is close to everything. I would absolutely book again with these hosts and at this location!

3rd annual birthday trip with my daughters. Love this house, location, & Waco. Perfect place to rest, reconnect, and recharge. See you next year!

Enjoyed our stay.

We loved the cottage! Very spacious and comfortable. It was also very close to everything we wanted to see (the Zoo/the Silos/Spice Village). We spent most of the weekend in the kitchen around the huge island. Hosts are great. Check in and check out was super easy. We will definitely stay again.

Great location and beautiful home. Enjoyed our stay.

The house is beautiful. Everything was very clean. Beds were amazing. It’s in a very nice neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again

I stayed here with my mom and two sisters for a girls trip weekend. We absolutely loved it. The home was beautifully decorated and we loved the kitchen. Very cozy and clean. I will definitely be back.

Perfect spot for a girls weekend - wonderful location, great sitting areas, awesome beds and pillows. Will come back!

The writers cottage is unbelievably adorable and the owners were very helpful and kind, even when I called to tell them I couldn’t get the TV to work and the remote just needed new batteries. Even though I was very embarrassed, Josh was so kind and helpful. I hope I get the chance to stay here again in the near future, it was a treat!

We all loved the property!. Just pristine and beautiful. Very comfortable, with plenty of room. Beds were amazingly comfortable. My sister and two of our friends we have known since childhood, had a weekend getaway to catch up with each other. We will return!

This is a super cute cottage, with all the Magnolia charm plus antiques from the owners. Great location and very convenient to everything.

This beautifully appointed home was comfortable, lovely, and had everything we needed. Lots of room to spread out. Great for a family! We will book again!

We come to Waco about once a month to visit our two daughters at Baylor and have rented many different houses. This one is by far my favorite. Gorgeous and cool decor, the details are amazing, we love the large, well appointed kitchen. Communication with the owner is excellent, very helpful with lots of good tourist tips.

Would stay there again!

What an amazing house! Absolutely gorgeous house! The decor was amazing. Myself and friends had the best girls weekend, Thank you so much, would absolutely rent this house again.

We had a quick one night stay and it was a joy to stay in such a well appointed, lovely place.

Our stay could not have been better. Great hosts and accommodations!! It was exactly what we were needing and a perfect getaway for a couple of nights.

A super quirky & cool place to spend the night in Waco!

Lovely stay and good location.

This home was absolutely more than the photos could ever portray! The home is decorated very tastefully and gives you that Chip and Joanna Gaines feel. Everything was perfect! Kitchen was nicely stocked with anything and everything you can think of! The beds were comfortable and cozy! The owners were very responsive and prompt. The area is very safe and convenient. We will definitely be back!

What an amazing stay! Such an amazing house with special touches everywhere! The beds are the absolute most comfortable beds that I’ve ever slept in away from home! 5 plus stars!
