The Shotgun House was exactly how we pictured it! Having watched the "Fixer Upper" remodeling show several times, we were anxious to see if it was completed and decorated how it was shown on TV . . . and it was!Alex was a great communicator sending us all the needed entry codes before our arrival plus providing us with a very detailed guest guide. The guide gave us many recommendations of where to dine and what attractions to see.We will definitely stay again when visiting Waco!

Coolest Property!
We loved the house and how close it was to the Silos! It is gorgeous and the communication with owners was so quick and pleasant! Would 100% recommend anyone visiting Waco to stay at!

Beautiful outdoor appeal and lovely decor inside. Various kitchen appliances to not only cook but entertain. There was only two towels, so unless you want to use the washer/dryer for towels, bring extra. The stairs to the loft are extremely steep and high, I could not take my eyes off my 3 year old. My kids however enjoyed the backyard. And we loved the walking distance to the silos. It was also very close to Baylor and restaurants. Overall, beautiful home.

About the host

Waco is extremely special to us.
My wife and I met at Baylor and have lived/traveled around the country but we chose to move back to Waco for a variety of reasons.
One of those was to expand our real estate portfolio with unique stays in places we care about. We're active in the community, local church, and are happy to share our recommendations of our favorite things to do in town.
⭐️ Regardless of if you stay with us, message us and we'd be happy to share our Guide to Waco and suggested itineraries ⭐️

Why they chose this property
This part of Waco is extremely special. It's nestled between Magnolia/The Silos, Baylor University, & Downtown Waco (including the Riverwalk, new basketball arena, etc.). So there's always something to do for virtually anyone and is extremely walkable.
What makes this property unique
This house was featured on Fixer Upper Season 3 Episode 15. It was built by Chip & Joanna Gaines and is an unique stay for any Magnolia fans. A few highlights:
- Original 1920's shotgun house was moved on a custom trailer to this lot and remodeled while keeping a lot of the original touches
- Custom ladder on pulley system that opens up to loft
- Pieces of the original house/items that were featured on the episode are part of the house
- The original brick foundation from the house was moved and set up as a the outdoor firepit patio
- And so much more...
On top of this - even if you aren’t a Fixer Upper fan - guests rave about the location of the house and its proximity to all things Waco. Walk to dinner/drinks, walk to a game, & walk to all the shopping you’d like.
