About this property
As seen on Fixer Upper - Stay in The Fabulous Waco Mid Century Modern Home!
Family kid friendly! Enjoy your stay at our fabulous Waco Mid-Century Modern Home, featured on Fixer Upper in Season 2! This house was expertly remodeled by Magnolia Homes. Located in the center of town, nestled in the wooded acreage of the Mountain View neighborhood, this property features a stunning view of the woods, a pergola covered patio with grill, an open floor plan, & a beautiful state of the art kitchen. With it's new cedar siding, this "mountain" modern is sure to offer the perfect dose of "zen" that you might be needing. Our home is 4bed/3bath, plus a nursery off the master bedroom, perfect for your little one, or an air mattress on the floor for kiddos. The home will sleep 10-12 people (queen air mattress for 11-12). Conveniently located 12-15 min to downtown Waco, The Magnolia Silos & Baylor, with HEB & Target up the street, you can't beat this location. When picking a home in which to stay, the neighborhood is very important for safety. This home is in a great neighborhood and we have never been afraid to go outside or take walks, even at night.

About the host
Hosted by Josh and Jill Barrett
We love hosting new friends in our home and watching them make wonderful memories with their families.
We got into this quite by accident. I basically lost my job the day before the episode aired. Our daughter, Lyla, was born on March 3, 2015 when our Fixer Upper episode came on the tv in the hospital room where we were resting with her. After things settled down, we assessed our situation and we were inspired to list our home on VRBO to help with the mortgage payments, or risk losing our new home.
We listed the home and the rest is history!
My wife, Jill Mashburn Barrett, is a wonderful designer and started an internationally known coffee shop on Baylor University Campus called Common Grounds in 1994. We have a warehouse by the Magnolia silos where we store unique goods and furniture from all over the world and Joanna has shopped there many times to help furnish this, and other homes on the show. Jill and the warehouse, "Falcon and Owl" were featured on some episodes in Season 3 of Fixer Upper.
I (Josh Barrett) own numerous rental properties with Jill including a home for women coming out of rehab and looking for a safe place to stay. Our dear friends, Summer and Ronnie, live in one of our other rent homes and manage this wonderful mission for us. Our homes are higher design than a typical rental property in town and our hope is to provide a next chapter in the lives of people looking to find an affordable and well designed short and long term stay. I am also starting an energy brokerage firm in 2017 to help people wade through the complex process of purchasing electricity for their commercial needs.
Please keep a look out for our new homes and boutique stay ideas coming soon on our website: hospitallerhomes.com
