Homan Haven the Homiest Home in the Heart of Texas
Slow Down & Stay Awhile in Our Historic Waco Retreat
Welcome to Homan Haven, where 1920s soul meets modern, intentional design. Located in the Heart of Texas, this beautifully restored historic home offers that sought-after "Fixer Upper" charm you’ve seen on screen, right here in person. Whether you're in town to shop the Silos, cheer on the Bears, or simply reconnect with family, this is your perfect home base.

Space to Breathe: With 3 bedrooms and 4 comfy beds, there’s room for the whole family (up to 8 guests) to find their own corner.
Morning Rituals: Walk just up the street to For Keeps Coffee & Bakery for a latte, then head back to enjoy the breeze on our inviting front porch.
Thoughtful Details: From the Baylor-ready location to the designer finishes, every inch of this home was curated with your comfort in mind.

About the host
Hosted by Amie Teel
My husband and I live in central Missouri. We have 4 children and spend most of our free time watching them in their many sporting events. Our family loves to camp and travel to see new places.
Why they chose this property
I chose Waco because I feel like it's a city with a lot of history. The area is always improving and homes are being given new life with renovation. I appreciate the history in these homes and the character that they provide. Aside from home renovations, there are so many greats things for families to do in the Waco area.
What makes this property unique
Our property stands out because of the preservation of the original features such as the original hardwood floors first installed in the 1930's. The house has high ceilings and beams, tall window, and lot of stories. We worked to maintain the modern farmhouse style to be alluring for Magnolia Fixer Upper fans while making the space comfy and functional. We are centrally located for most of the Waco attractions, never more than a 15 minute drive.
