New! Cheerful cottage filled with art and books in the heart of Waxahachie

Welcome to the Little House of Books! This luxe two bedroom, 1 bathroom house has the best of both worlds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Little Creek Trail and Chapman Park and yet is adjacent to bustling Highway 77 and all of its shops and restaurants. It's a three minute drive to Waxahachie's iconic dowtown square.

Guests can enjoy an art- and book-filled retreat with cozy seating for reading after a busy wedding, girls' night out or work trip. This house sleeps up to four, making it ideal for couples and families or small group seeking a taste of the Crepe Myrtle Capital of Texas.

This 1950s house has all of the charm you would expect in a Waxahachie home. Original hardwood floors, four over four windows and elegant molding. Each bedroom in kitted out with luxurious linens, ample closet space and ceiling fans.

The kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, large pantry with a few basic staples and a built-in wooden ironing board original to the house. The house also has a full sized washer and dryer in the laundry room, as well as a spacious fenced backyard for soaking up the Texas sun.

Cute home
My husband and I enjoyed our stay while in town for an event we host. Reminded me of my great-grandparents home. Loved having a full kitchen and washer/dryer. Great water pressure and lots of hot water. Even though it is small, it had everything we needed. Convenient location close to HEB and :)Taco Casa! About a 10-15min drive to TX Motorplex! The neighborhood was mostly quiet except for the house 2 doors down… but I would definitely rent again to avoid hotel living!

Great stay
My family united over the Texas Country Reporter Festival. My daughter & husband shared a booth, so the rest of the family came to visit! Some did not stay with us, but the house gave us a great get together space all our own. It was immaculate and had everything we needed plus more! The kids even had a little place to play! The AC was on when we got there and was perfect! My girls loved the book selection, even though we didn’t have time to read! Great place & would definitely stay again!

Loved the Little Book House
We loved the laid back vibe from this house. It was decorated beautifully! I was pleasantly surprised with the extras provided such as coffee, tea, popcorn, and oatmeal. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. Very easy to check in and very conveniently located to downtown (5 minutes) with a quiet neighborhood and large backyard. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful cottage! I rented it for a girlfriend getaway. There was plenty of room to visit, work on a project, yet have separate space to relax. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. It’s easy to get to downtown and great restaurants. Great host with excellent communication!

Wonderful Stay!
We traveled to Waxahachie for a family wedding and throughly enjoyed our time in our VRBO home away from home. Katherine, the owner, was awesome and communicated throughout the process. The home was just as described m filled with charm and personality. The backyard is beautiful as well as the home. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the extras provided such as toiletries and towels. We would not hesitate to reach out again and stay if the home was available.

Perfect small town get away
Such a lovely cozy home to come back to at the end of the day. Everything was neat and clean. The home is a bit older (built in the 1950s I believe) but has been updated. Communications with the owner is timely. I would not hesitate to book this again whenever I'm back in the area. Plus, it's super convenient to be able to park in a garage. Be aware it's on older house/garage and can only fit a compact SUV or smaller.
