Weekend in Waco

Came into town for Labor Day weekend to visit Waco. This rental was super cute, just outside of Waco on a quiet street. Close to everything we wanted to get to, had everything we needed, check in was super easy and really good communication from the property owner. We’d definitely consider staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Meryl Olsen

Hi, I'm Meryl! I live in Robinson, TX - just outside of Downtown Waco. I am originally from Grapevine, TX and have lived in this great state my whole life. My fiancé Andrew, (co-host) works for the Fire Department and I am a stay at home mom to our two year old son. I also love redoing furniture, anything DIY, and find joy in thrifting and showing how to design on a dime! We both love traveling, being outdoors, and are always looking for our next adventure. We would love to host your next VRBO stay :)

Why they chose this property

Our home is a short drive to downtown Waco, about 10 minutes until you are in the middle of everything! Then come back to our quiet neighborhood to a home that is relaxing, comfortable, and full of character!

Our home truly speaks to everyone in the group-
We have areas for sitting and relaxing, areas for games/movies, a full kitchen, a dining area, a laundry room with washer and dryer, and a spacious backyard with yard games. Sit on the screened in back porch or lay in the hammock and watch the sunset!

What makes this property unique

Our sleeping areas include-
-Master Bedroom (1st floor): King Bed

Bedroom #1 (2nd floor): Queen Bed
Bedroom #2 (2nd floor): 1 Full bed, 1 Twin bed
-2 Twin rollaway's that can be placed anywhere

-We do allow pets! There is a MAX of 2 pets per booking. We just ask that they stay on the first floor and off of the furniture.

-We have a spacious driveway for your parking needs however, there is a MAX of 4 cars per booking. We live on a street that does not allow street parking so all cars must be parked in the driveway and we need to assure there is plenty of room for people to still get in/out of the driveway comfortably.

-We do have a tiny house on the premises that could be occupied by a different rental group during your stay and we ask that you respect their privacy and be mindful of the noise level. The only thing that is shared with the tiny house is the entry to the driveway, otherwise it is completely separate.
