The Blue Door- 6 min to Silos/Baylor/Downtown

Come stay in our clean, welcoming home in downtown Waco! This brand new home (2022) with COLD A/C is a 6 minute drive to Magnolia Market Silos and 8 minute drive to Baylor. Cameron Park Zoo is only 2 minutes away! Our 3 bed (plus pack-n-play), 2 bath has plenty of space and amenities to feel at home. This is the perfect place for a family to stay or a group of friends to getaway and explore all that Waco has to offer! We look forward to providing a relaxing and comfortable stay for you and your guests.

Almost everything in the house is brand new, including the mattresses and linens. You can enjoy staying in historic downtown Waco among 100yr old homes, in the coziness of 21st century comfort and eco friendly efficiency. Upon arriving you will see some beautiful authentic farmhouse relics in the front flowerbed from our Grandmother's farm- about 1hr up the road. The house has a private fenced in backyard in a nice quiet neighborhood for you to enjoy. We have a fully stocked kitchen for anything you would like to cook. You will notice in the bedrooms some custom headboards we made ourselves from an old shipping crate. In the closet you will find some hand stitched quilts made from our Grandmother and Aunts. If you look closely you can see the charming imperfections!

Very nice, modern home
Home was very nice on the inside. Everything inside looked pretty new and very clean. A slight hiccup with check-in. We received the instructions after check-in time, but it was quickly resolved. Thanks for a great stay!

Great space for our getaway
As mentioned by others previously the location gave us pause but we had zero issues. No one bothered us. It was very convenient and easy to get around to and from in Waco. Communication with owner was excellent and very quick. We only had minor issues requiring us to ask questions. Cleanliness overall was great, we only had a couple of concerns with linens that seemed to have been used but there were extra. We had everything we needed and it was spacious and quiet-except for the cats outside talking to each other :)

Super Clean & Comfy
Communication was prompt & any issue we had was quickly resolved. A quiet area with some older homes that appear to be part of a revitalization effort (?) Felt safe in the home. The primary bedroom is extra large for a house this size, very nice surprise! Updated appliances & access to washer & dryer made it a comfy stay for our group of 3. Would stay again 👍

Nice Stay
The house was very cute and clean. It had a perfect layout for our group. The owner checked in with us via email to make sure we arrived and had everything we needed. The location was great for visiting the zoo and the Magnolia Silos, as well as many restaurants.

We loved the house! So new and beautiful. We loved all the amenities in the house and the decor is beautiful. This home is close to the Silos, HEB, and restaurants. The information binder was great and the restaurant recommendations were on point. We enjoyed a restful stay in the home during our visit. Definitely recommend if you are visiting Waco!

Very cute house in a slightly sketchy neighborhood
The neighborhood was run down, and we were a little nervous about the safety of our surroundings outside. The house was absolutely lovely: clean, well decorated, welcoming and comfortable. Magnolia attractions were within a 10-minute drive.
