About this property

Premier Host for 6 years! Drive TWO streets to Downtown & Magnolia Silos!

Welcome to The Mavie House! We’ve had the pleasure of hosting an array of guests from Baylor University families and students to Magnolia visitors, work crews, wedding groups, girls’ trips, and more. Unlike many properties, we’re just one block from THREE Magnolia Fixer Upper homes, perfect for an evening stroll! We’re also less than 10 minutes from Baylor and just over 2 miles from the Magnolia Market at the Silos and downtown Waco.

Our spacious home comfortably accommodates larger groups with four bedrooms and three bathrooms, making it ideal for couples, families, or a girls’ getaway. Waco offers something for everyone scenic river walks, hiking at Cameron Park, lake days, and plenty of shopping.

Full of character, comfort, and charm, this newly renovated historic home is designed for relaxation and fun.

Conveniently located near main roads, you can reach downtown in minutes with an easy two-street drive. The home feels both fresh and cozy, and includes WiFi and a smart TV for your entertainment.

Enjoy both a large front yard and backyard, perfect for relaxing or playing outdoor games.

The 4 of us on a girl’s trip each had our own room. It was very easy to communicate with the host. The living and dining areas were roomy enough for conversation and games. The kitchen was well stocked. I have back problems so some of the beds were too soft. The twin beds were hard. The showers were slick and could use mats. However, we were very pleased overall and will stay there again in the future.

The house was both, spacious and cozy. Beds were comfortable, heating and cooling were both on point. (That’s important when the mornings starts at 60 degrees and it’s 80 degrees by lunch). Loved the decor, loved the location- no complaints. I was also pleasantly surprised to find seasonings for cooking already stocked,yay! Did I mention the front porch and backyard? Perfect for my family. I had a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Phylisia

Host profile image
Hello! I’m a Native Texan and Teacher! I grew up in the Texas Hill Country and Waco. My grandparents planted their roots in Waco. The house is actually named after my grandma. She was the sweetest soul! I love homes. My dad was a home builder, so I grew up around all sorts of homes. I enjoy designing floor plans, outdoor areas, and interiors! I enjoy gardening and taking care of farm animals. Traveling abroad is a new favorite of mine. When I first heard about Airbnb I fell in love. I really enjoyed the various designs and characteristics of the homes on Airbnb and thought, “How can I do this?” That’s how it all began! I want my guest to feel cozy and peaceful at my home as I do when I’m here. God Bless!

Why they chose this property

My childhood best friend actually grew up on this street! I was on this street a lot growing up! Her home is a light blue stucco home two blocks down on the right toward 29th street. The homes between 26th and 29th are just beautiful and historic. They have so much charm!

What makes this property unique

We really strive to make our guests feel comfortable and peaceful here. Also, I do EVERYTHING in my control to help guests feel comfortable during their stay. Anything you need, call me, and it’ll be delivered or fixed asap!
