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.

We enjoyed our stay in this cottage located not too far but secluded away from the city noise and bustle. The house is perfect for a couple and the large yard is a bonus. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very accommodating to our needs.

Absolutely perfect.

A quiet, well-maintained cottage. I brought my dog along, and they didn't charge any extra fees. They just asked that I clean up after it, which was a very reasonable request.
