Family trip to Waco

My family and I had the absolute best time at this property. The kids and dogs had a blast running and playing in the huge beautiful backyard. The neighbor, Lafell, was super sweet and helpful. The house was exactly as pictured in the TV show. The location was super convenient to everything in Waco and could not have asked for a better host. Will definitely be returning with our family!

Cute and fun, but a little dirty

It was very cool to get to stay in a Fixer Upper house! The property manager was quick to respond and very clear with expectations for check in and out. The house though, was very dusty and buggy (though maybe that’s the norm for summers in Texas?).

My daughters and I had so much fun staying at a place flipped by the Gaines’s. Gave us a real feel for what the couple has done for housing and design in Waco. Plenty of room for fun and relaxation. Very glad to have a good AC on the super hot days. Nice back deck. It’s an easy trip to the Silo’s etc.

Cozy, beautiful home.

We loved staying in the Little House on the Prarie. The interior of the house is so cozy and peaceful. It’s decorated beautifully to compliment chip and Jos work! The neighbor was extremely kind, as were the hosts. We lost power for a few hours(storms) but we had a fun night of apples to apples(provided by Kristi) in the candlelight. I will remember this trip with joy :)

Precious House

Upon arrival, my husband and I were concerned because of the location of the house but we were pleasantly surprised after entering the home. Very clean and perfectly decorated! Seriously the most comfortable bed that I’ve slept in at a VRBO (and I’m picky!). The neighborhood was so quiet that we could have easily slept all morning. The backyard is huge and there’s a nice little seating area with a fire feature on the back deck. Very cute and charming home!

We absolutely loved staying in this home. We especially enjoyed browsing through all the Magnolia magazines and we started reading the book The Magnolia Story that was on the shelf.

We enjoy the house however we feel there is room for improvement. You are need to get an exterminator to take care of the wasp problem at the front and back of the house.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the house, but we sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered. Our yard crew had been there just before your arrival to freshen up the outdoors, and they were instructed to remove any wasp nests they found. The house was also sprayed for insects both indoors and outdoors. We understood how frustrating this could be, especially with the wasp population being particularly prominent in Texas this year. We experienced the same challenges at our own home and kept wasp spray nearby. We appreciate your suggestions regarding the wasp problem, and we will definitely look into hiring an exterminator to address that. We also understand the importance of cleanliness and will ensure that the house is thoroughly dusted and that the drains in the bathroom are cleaned before future guests arrive. Your comments about the laundry room have been noted, and we will take action to improve that as well. We hope you reached out to us about these issues during your stay so we could have assisted you promptly. Thank you again for your insights, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!

Thermostat

There is something wrong with the thermostat. Kept turning it down to 72 and during the day and night I would go up by itself. Woke up in the middle of the night hot. Got up at 2:00 am and it was 77. I'm a 53 yr old woman and I just cannot do hot during the night and I'm sure other people staying there would agree.

Hi Kristi, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I’m sorry to hear about the thermostat issues you experienced during your stay. We were never made aware of any problems, and it appears the thermostat was set on a schedule mode, which could have been easily turned off had we known. We understand how important a comfortable temperature is, especially at night, and we appreciate your feedback. We hope to provide you with a better experience on your next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Kristi Runyan

Host profile image

I grew up with deep roots in the the Central Texas area and have called Waco home for over 25 years. Raised my three kiddos in this community & love the small-town feel that our community offers. I have enjoyed watching the transformation of Waco from a sleepy lil college town to what is now one of the most highly sought after travel destinations in the country! Such a joy & blessing to have the opportunity to share my home & my love for this community with people from across the world.

Why they chose this property

The Batson family, who were on THE Fixer Upper show, contacted me about their beloved home as they were wanting to expand their family. This quaint, sweet home would simply not accommodate their growing family. Since I had been successfully renting & been sharing THE BARNDOMINIUM (Also from HGTVs FIXXER UPPER), this home was a perfect addition to my vacation rental family!

What makes this property unique

This home is so charming and quaint! It has such a nice open floor plan that you feel very connected from every room in the house. It has the same feel that captivated viewers on the show. The back porch is ideal for cooking out & lounging out back and enjoying an evening in Waco, Fixer Upper style!
