Hidden Gem !

This was our 1st time staying at a VRBO and we had the best experience. We volunteered to fostering a neighbors dog and have 2 dogs of our own which now makes 3. We decided to take a quick trip not realizing most places only accepted 2 dogs. Before booking, we messaged the host (Meryl), let her know our situation and asked if it was possible to bring 3 dogs. We were so happy how kind and accommodating she was. Our little one went from oh no! We won’t be able to take a trip… to Yay we can take a trip and bring the dogs ! WoW! From the moment we drove up and walked in, this charming home was exactly what was pictured. We stayed for 2 days (myself, husband, 9 yo and our 3 dogs), to celebrate our little one finishing up the school year. We drove to Blue Hills Ranch and did the safari tour which was so much fun and wasn’t too far. The location was great and was not far from restaurants/shopping etc. Meryl was very responsive and everything was so seamless. Our favorite part was the upstairs game/entertainment room and the Large yard with enclosed back patio. There was a variety of family board games as well as several stand up arcade games that kept us entertained. The house was well supplied and it made us feel like we were staying with family. We had everything we needed!Meryl, Thank you for opening up your beautiful and cozy home. We definitely enjoyed our stay and made some fun memories and will be coming back… next time bringing Grandma.-De La Cruz Family

Waco retreat

House looked small from outside but was surprisingly roomy inside. Cozy and all the beds were very comfortable! House had a funky odour we all noticed - almost like a skunk but we couldn’t smell it outside. Back porch was our undeniable favourite place but wasn’t swept and generally could have been cleaner. Also, one of the upstairs bedrooms didn’t have a window. That room needed a bedside table and lamp. Other than that, the house was great. After being out and about every day, it was wonderful to come back in evenings to recap our day on the back porch listening to the birds!!

Perfect for our Baylor family plus dog

This is our fifth year with a student at Baylor and the first time we stayed outside of Waco. We got a puppy last spring that we want to take with us on travels, so we had to switch to booking dog friendly properties. Despite being outside of Waco, the location is a vers easy drive to Baylor and downtown. Plenty of room for our family and loved the big fenced in backyard for our pup (he loved it too!) we didn’t do any cooking this time, but the kitchen is well equipped. Also liked the large driveway with lots of parking, and the in back porch. Everyone remarked that it was nice to stay somewhere quiet without street traffic noises. Will definitely stay again!

Love the Shiplap!

The house is located just outside of Waco in Robinson. The neighborhood is quite and feels like being in the country, but you are only minutes of everything you need in Waco. The house is spacious with plenty of room for family members to spread out. The screened porch was a favorite of mine and the kids. The kids also enjoyed the arcade will we watched the Mavericks win the Western Conference Finals in the comfortable media room. If you like the look of the house on the listing, you won't be disappointed when you arrive. Great place and made some good memories!
