Walk to the Silos! 3 Bed 1960's Bungalow near Baylor

Summary:
One block from the Silos and next to the famous "Shotgun House", this cute 3 bed/2 bath bungalow is the perfect spot for you and your family to explore the Magnolia market and downtown Waco. Fully restored, you'll feel like your staying in one of Joanna's "fixer uppers". With a full kitchen, washer and dryer, one King bed and 2 Queen beds, this can be your "home away from home" in the Heart of Waco.

The Space:
Sleeps 6 to 8 people. Each of the 3 bedrooms has a super-comfy queen size bed and the master suite has an attached full bathroom. The other 2 bedrooms share a bathroom. In addition to the queen beds, the den has a full-size sofa that comfortably sleeps an adult as well as a twin air mattress for the floor. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher along with pots, cooking utensils and dishes for cooking up gourmet meals while you're in town. Large washer/dryer set will take care of your laundry. And the dining table seats 6 with leaves to expand it to seat up to 10! Off-street parking makes sure you don't ever have to fight for a parking spot. :-)

The Neighborhood:
The bungalow is within short walking distance of the Magnolia Silos and downtown as well as many restaurants and fast food joints as you walk to towards I-35. Chick-fil-A, Panera bread, Torchy's Taco's, In and Out Burgers, just to name a few. One house down from the bungalow is the "Shotgun House" of Fixer-Upper fame. It's right across the highway from Baylor University so it makes a great landing pad for visiting students. 3 blocks off of Interstate 35 makes it easy to find.

Getting Around:
Walking will get you to many places but Uber and Lyft are also both available.

Other Things to Note:
This Short Term Rental is licensed by the City of Waco License #STR000659

Perfect spot for a Waco Christmas
This house was an absolute dream. So close to Magnolia Market & Silos. It was so nice to no worry about finding parking and it’s just an easy walk from the house. We were able to come & go to Magnolia Market anytime we wanted to. The house is also so conveniently located in Waco about a 10 min drive to anywhere. The house was comfortable, cute and cozy. I would stay here again for sure! Oh, the Villastay guidebook was a dream. It had answers to our questions, fantastic restaurant suggestions. It was very helpful.

Super location near the Silos
This was a perfect home for a family trip. It’s bigger than it looks from the outside. Walking distance to the Silos! Quiet despite being close to freeway and multiple fast food places. Plenty of towels and amenities. So much to do in Waco! Would definitely stay again.

Great parking, everything needed is in the house. Great smart TV in the living room. Beds are very comfortable with plenty of pillows. Close to pretty much all things in downtown Waco, Baylor, river. Quiet location other than the rare Train that comes by and blows the horn. Perfect place to sleep.

Girls trip
Visiting Magnolia was one of my best friend's dream. I live in Houston and she is currently living in Thailand. Our other friend lices in Wisconsin. When we planned our yearly girls trip and they were coming to Texas is was a no brainer to come visit. It was a great location and easy to walk around Waco. We each had a room and were comfortable!

Great house near Baylor and Magnolia
We loved this house. Well maintained and well stocked. Thorough instructions for check in, getting around the city, and throughout the house. Ceiling fans in all the rooms, plenty of seating for dinner and in the living room. Stocked with everything you will need and more. Within walking distance to Magnolia Market and just across the highway from Baylor. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. We will definitely be back to this house.

Magnolia Magic
This home is so cute, quaint and in the perfect location for not only the Magnolia Market but the shops, restaurants and musings that the city of Waco has to offer. We enjoyed the back yard space in the evenings. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable and the hosts were attentive. Thank you for your Texas hospitality!

Cute bungalow steps away from Magnolia!
We loved our stay at this home. We were two adults and two children, 5 & 3 years old. The bungalow, was laid out very well, the bedrooms were plenty big enough and the kitchen well stocked. It was perfect for our overnight stay and a block from the Silo’s. The owners are really great to work with and we’re very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!’n

This house needs improvements
This house needs a lot of repairs and there are a lot of things that need to be fixed! The front porch is very dangerous for anyone to be on! I tried to ask for a phone call to speak with someone about it but they would only talk through text! Our trip was amazing but both of us could not wait to get out of that house! Even the brace that is holding the roof on is not even attached! The dishes were so dirty that we did not even feel comfortable to cook in them! Even the coffee cup were put up dirty! I have all pictures as our proof!
