Lori was an amazing host, what you see in the pics is what you get. She was very responsive to any questions we had. I loved how she was very detailed with notes in her home and the sweetest welcome she left us was so sweet and thoughtful. The area was amazing close to so many places and a very nice neighborhood. Definitely looking forward to booking again!!

Absolutely perfect!

Lori is simply the best host we’ve ever had! The property was well appointed and had everything you could possibly need. Lori even brought us special treats that were much appreciated after spending the days outside. If you’re going to Waco, stay here, you’ll love it.

Perfect property!

I don't think I could adequately provide enough adjectives to describe how we felt about this property! From the cleanliness to the decor to the welcoming backyard, everything about the Haven was perfection.The home had a full array of cooking/baking supplies, fridge had a few things we find we always need. The layout and bedroom situation was great, everyone was comfortable. Well lit, cozy.The sitting area outback made for a pleasant Saturday evening sit with some pizza and drinks.Lori provided an extensive list of places to eat, explore and shop as well so we never had difficulty with filling time.

Nice home away from home

This place is very homey. You can tell Lori puts love and thought into the decorations, furniture and the extras inside and out. She has thought through many little things that you want/need when staying away. I came with my daughter and almost 3 year old grandson. He loved our "Texas house" and wants to go back. I'm from New Hampshire, so not sure if I'll be back. but if I do, I would definitely stay here! Thank you Lori!

Baylor 50th Reunion

Three lifelong friends who met at Baylor when freshmen in 1970 came together for our 50th reunion. The Haven provided us a very comfortable place to gather to celebrate and reminisce. The location in the Woodway area was convenient to many major roads in & out of Waco. Plenty of restaurants were nearby to make it easy to plan dinners. The neighborhood was quiet and the house simply & pleasantly appointed. The perfect spot for our reunion group!

Super comfort

We came to Waco to watch our son compete in the iron man. We visited Magnolia market and saw some of downtown Waco. Would have enjoyed more time here as it is a very cute location. The neighborhood was quiet and my son and I biked around it. The house had everything plus. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed all the extras provided. I would definitely stay here again.

Charming House

Lori was such a wonderful communicator. She made check-in and check-out a breeze! The house was decorated like a charming cottage. There was a fresh peach cobbler and ice cream as well as some other treats. Overall this is a wonderful place to stay in Waco! Not far of a drive to the silos and other attractions! If we visit Waco again this is where we will be staying!
