We loved our stay and were completely delighted with how well the owners have kept the home looking so similar to the episode it was featured in. Thank you for making our first trip to Waco so special!
We enjoyed our stay. Lots of room to roam in this house. Located close to stores and shopping. Very nice people. Would definitely recommend this house.
We had a wonderful time at this VRBO. Waco was fun visiting Magnolia and doing some shopping. It was nice to come back to this property in the evening and sit together in the living space. Bedrooms beautiful and comfortable. Thank-you !
We had a short trip to The Silos, Magnolia Market and Magnolia Table . The house is very close to all theses and Baylor University as well. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels, fans for each bedroom and kitchen supplies. The check out procedure was simple. We would definitely stay here again.
Our stay at the German Schmear house was amazing, it was what we thought it would be, very comfortable, close to everything. House was very clean and had lots of room for everybody. Would definitely stay there again. It was just a short drive to silos, restaurants, shopping.
We came to Waco to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. It was the perfect place to rest after each event We had plenty of room for five adults To spread out yet, be close together. My husband and I grew up in Waco and I actually grew up right down the street from where we stayed so it was so nice to reminisce and enjoy the neighborhood again so close to everything we needed: shopping restaurants, and all the activities we had a great day thanks for sharing your home
Great stay in Waco! Close to everything. Such a cool property. Crib and pack in play for kids. Lovely back yard. Communication with host was great! Would recommend!
House is as advertised, clean and prepped with general items like toilet paper, spices and cooking oils. Check in and out smooth. Plenty of room for 4 people traveling as a group or multiple couples.
Extremely clean. We used 3 of the beds and all were reported to be very comfortable. Sheets were sooo soft. Communication with owners was spot on. Stay here, if you want, because of the Fixer Upper connection. More so stay here because it is clean and a very comfortable home!
The house was just like it appeared on the show. Beautiful open space downstairs and a well appointed kitchen. This is in a great quiet neighborhood not too far from the Magnolia Market to complete the experience.
This was exactly as advertised and communicating with Jeff and Sara were prompt. Great place to experience part of the show and house didn’t disappoint.
Our experience in this home was five star. The home was clean and fully stocked with anything you could need. We had plenty of soft towels and the beds were so comfortable. This home provided lots of laughter and good memories for us on this trip. We highly recommend this listing because Jeff and Sara have put a lot of thought into making this a comfortable home.
The property itself was clean and pleasant but there were some caviates which you should know about. First the back of the house has a converted garage which was renamed the cottage. The address is difficult to see so we had individuals attempting to get in our house and were Shining flashlights on the house and waking up our guests. People thought someone was breaking in and it was unsettling. Second neighbors played music till late in the night EXTREMELY loud which disallowed sleep. Finally the place needs bug control. Many cockroaches
The house was everything we expected it to be! Very clean, just like the pics. Definitely enhanced our girls trip by staying here. We enjoyed the home while watching the fixer upper show that the house was on. Thanks for the experience 😊
