Historical Morrow House Season 5 Fixer Upper, Featured In Cottage Style Magazine
Our historical home was on the first episode of season 5 of Fixer Upper. When Mrs. Gaines toured the house as the second option they called it #TheRealFixerUpper! It was not a home ultimately designed by the Gaines's but we are honored to be a small part of the filming. The excitement for the home was captured best when Joanna Gaines said "I feel like a dog with a T-bone steak, I am like please give ME the T-bone steak!" Since its renovation in 2017 The Morrow House has been featured in Cottage Style Magazine, Modern Farmhouse Style Magazine and Modern Texas Living Magazine. The Morrow House is also featured in the new book titled "Historic Homes of Waco Texas".

A bit about the Rodriguez Family: Travel, and shared experiences have always been a central part of our family time. In today’s world the demands of career and activities can pull us in many directions, but getting out of town together or sharing unique experiences has always given us meaningful ways to connect and recharge. When we moved to Waco three years ago an extraordinary journey began for each of us. One of the unexpected blessings was that we had over 80 houseguests during the first year! Everyone wanted to visit and explore Waco and we were his or her guides. It was great for us to show Central Texas to our friends and family because it encouraged us to get out and explore in new ways, and gave us new opportunities to get to know our new home. Each of our guests has had different ideas of what they want to see and do when they visit; some want to drive in the country and shop old antique shops or see pastures full of cattle. Others want to watch a Baylor athletics event and eat at one of our great local restaurants. Some want to shop all weekend and others want to walk along the Brazos and see lightning bugs! However all of them leave here loving the people and the pace of life in Waco.
After Amy and I met, I felt that the Morrow House was a part of our family journey here in Waco. The home’s beauty, history and resurrection story make it a beautiful haven for people to escape to. Our family, including my parents who moved here to join us two years ago, is thrilled to have an opportunity to share Waco with our guests from all corners of the world as we’ve been doing for the last three years.

We absolutely loved The Morrow House!!! The home is beautiful, clean and the beds were very comfortable. Kimberlee was so incredibly nice and accommodating! We loved the history of the home as well.
We frequent the Waco area and I have to say this house is a great place to stay at. Everything was wonderful and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone who wants a clean, adorable, close to downtown house with an excellent host.
The home is beautiful, clean, fully furnished with everything we needed. This is the second time we have stayed there as a group of ladies who are friends from Baylor University.I recommend this home to everyone.
Three friends and myself traveled to enjoy Magnolia Silos. We visited the Castle and Hotel 1928. The home was an amazing plus to everything else. Decor was beautiful. Beds were comfortable Loved it all!!!
The host was excellent! We had a bit of a hiccup night one but she resolved everything in a timely manner. Rooms were clean and the kitchen was great! The house met our needs for our trip!

Thanks for your kind review! A hiccup is an understatement, for some reason our power was out, and even though the power company sent someone out to do the necessary repairs, the work was not done until 3:00am. So, Kim and her group had to stay in a hotel for a night which was something I have never had in hosting for over 7 years! Clearly we reimbursed her and her group for the night, and they were incredibly gracious. Excellent communication and kindness all around (even the gentlemen working on the power problem). Blessings to you Kim and your group and thanks again for your kindness in this uncontrollable situation.Glad the rest of your stay was great.
Great weekend in Waco. Loved this home and all of the details. Highly recommend and hope to stay here again in the future. We have stayed in many homes in Waco and this one is at the top of the list!
We had a great time getting together with family . It had an excellent kitchen and a good farmhouse feel The long kitchen table was fantastic for eating together and playing games.
Beautiful home & great location!!! We had a very relaxing stay! Location is perfect for amazing entertainment in the area. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your Beautiful home!!!
We had a perfect weekend at this adorable cottage. Plenty of room, beautifully decorated, modern amenities with authentic southern charm. Would most definitely stay here again.
Our family enjoyed our stay so much and are thankful for the memories we made here. The home was comfortable, very well stocked, and had a great amount of space to spread out.
Charming house for our family to enjoy Homecoming weekend. Great accommodations and the host was very helpful!!

Why they chose this property
The beauty and history of The Morrow House drew me to it, but its resurrection story made me fall in love. Its such a symbol of life, that once was lost can not only be found, but can be better than before! That's why my husband and I decided to share this home with visitors to Waco. We hope everyone who stays here feels the love and hope that we feel in the Morrow House.
What makes this property unique
From the two rockers on the front porch, to the twinkle lights on the back patio, and every modern amenity and stylish detail in between The Morrow House is designed to please each and every guest.
