Adorable and so convienient!
This is a darling cottage, and it is clear that the owners have taken great pride in offering this home as a rental. The decor is lovely! The owners have a lovely tray of treats out on the kitchen island, and have free keurig coffee for the stay. We loved the back yard, which includes a super cool “Cowboy Pool”, 2 hanging chairs and a fire pit. A perfect place to recap the days’ events and plan for the next day’s adventures. The location is superb - just a few blocks from the Siilos and downtown, and an easy reach to other parts of the city. While we enjoyed the Magnolia locations, we also loved exploring some of the local spots including Fabled bookstore and coffeshop, The Findery for awesome interior decor and Pignetti’s for some great Italian food. Brittany and Michael were delightful hosts and had excellent communication skills. Thank you for your hospitality!

Girls trip
Great location, property clean, comfortable and nice extra touches. My sisters & I took our mother to Waco for her 75th birthday. She loves HGTV - got a thrill out of going to Silos & all the shopping & brunch at 1928. Thank you for the comfortable stay

About the host

Hosted by Brittany and Michael Miller

Host profile image
Howdy,

We are Brittany and Michael Miller. We are currently in DFW but Brittany is originally from the Waco area and Michael is from North Texas. Brittany is currently a Realtor in Dallas and Michael works as a Geologist for an Oil and Gas company. Being avid travelers we wanted to start a short term rental to give guests the best experience possible while travelling to Waco. We love seeing our vision brought to life and hearing the positive guest experiences after their stay with us.

Why they chose this property

With the Silos and Magnolia Market only a few short blocks away and the historic charm most of the houses bring in the Downtown Waco area, this neighborhood was a must have when starting our STR.

What makes this property unique

Hosting a large lot with a beautiful backyard, we currently have a Cowboy Pool with a fire pit and an outdoor dining space. Perfect spot for a weekend or weekday getaway!!
