About this property

Historic Cottage In Cameron Park Near Baylor

Come stay in our Cameron Park guesthouse! Built in 1925, the property has been lovingly restored. Walk the grounds, or walk one block to Cameron Park itself for kayaking, biking, etc. 4 minutes from Baylor Stadium and Magnolia; 6 minutes from Ferrell Center.

Fabulous space for couples or small families. Great for Baylor events; 5 minutes from campus. Enjoy all the amenities of Cameron Park.

The area is wonderful for walkers and runners.

We're two Baylor professors with flexible schedules. Happy to host you & give you all the inside information about Waco--places to eat, stores, downtown, Baylor, etc.

Wonderful old, historic neighborhood; originally developed in the 1920s as a prime location near the 'new' Cameron Park.

One private bedroom, with queen bed, sleeps 2. One high-quality inflatable bed can be made up in the living area; perfect for kids. Can sleep up to 4 people.

Pets allowed inside, if fully house-trained. We also have a fully fenced backyard.

The cottage and surrounding area met all our expectations. We enjoyed spending time in a historic part of Waco with proximity to Cameron Park and all that downtown has to offer. We plan to stay here again when the cottage is available.

Cute quaint property. The bedroom was a little warm but they left you two standing fans to help with the heat. So close to the park and downtown.
