Great place to stay

If you are looking for a clean and convenient place to stay in Waco, TX this is the one. It is practically right on the Baylor University Campus and close to "the Silos" of Chip and Joanna Gaines. We had a great time and would return if the chance came again.

Great way to visit Baylor

The place was very cute and clean. The property host made everything very easy from checkin and out with added special touches. The location is on the Baylor campus which was great for touring and is close to the silos and other downtown restaurants. If we are back in the area, we would definitely consider staying again.

Great getaway

Our first trip to Waco to see Silos. Our location was great and really easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. I enjoyed watching the kids walking on campus and it was surprisingly quiet. The unit was very clean and well furnished. They had a great patio set up and we enjoyed sitting out in the afternoon with our Dog. Also, we could walk our dog around the neighborhood. It was a great trip and a great place to stay. If you had a child on campus it would be perfect also.

This is my second time to stay in these condos while visiting my college student. You can walk to campus activities from the condo and it is perfect for a short stay with enough room to spread out. It is so cutely decorated and the appliances and furniture and are all very nice/upscale.

Perfect

Everything was as described. For some reason I had assumed there would be TVs in the bedrooms. But there wasn’t, I thought I had read it online. So having a family of 4 with 1 tv wasn’t ideal. It was really comfortable and good size to accommodate what we needed. We were Traveling back home from San Antonio. Was definitely had a nice homey feel. I would suggest a little more lightening on the floor level. The bathroom and kitchen area was dark and hard to see things. I liked the extras such as suggestions on favorite eats and places to see. Having a coffee pot with coffee and creamer was perfect!

Thanks for staying with us Dawn! We appreciate your review and feedback. I do apologize if there was any confusion about the listing. We have just updated the kitchen and upstairs bathrooms to bright LED light bulbs to help make it brighter inside. We are glad you felt at home, and hope you keep us in mind the next time you are traveling through Waco!

About the host

Hosted by Jack Thomas Herrin

Host profile image
Born in Waco, raised/ educated in Austin, my family has been in and around the Waco area for generations. I currently "reside" in Colorado but more or less spit my time between the 3. I have a deep passion for everything outdoors, live music and, of course, Baylor University Athletics.

Why they chose this property

Family Owned and operated since construction was completed in the 70's by my Grandfather, Jack Thomas, who was a student athlete and later coached football for the Baylor Bears. Having served and supported the University and the local community for well over 30 years, he had a deep passion for the University and its sense of community.

Once student housing, we have recently remodeled completely and now aim to service the Baylor Community and the Greater Waco area in their accommodation needs while maintaining the sense of community that is our heritage.

Although he is no longer with us it is with great pleasure that we are able to continue serving the Baylor/ Waco community for which I know he'd be proud. we hope to carry on Jack Thomas' s legacy of hospitality and generosity for many years to come.
