Restored 1930s Uptown Bungalow 2 min. to Magnolia Silos

Summary:
Be enchanted by this charming restored retreat with original details in the wood floors, doors, and trim. (We were inspired to take on our own fixer upper after we moved into our home featured in season 5 episode 1 of Fixer Upper on HGTV - the one with the moon door!) This bungalow was originally built in the 1930’s so has great character. Decorated with teal accent walls, open shelving in the country-kitchen, and mid-century furnishings, making this home comfortable yet stylish. Only 2 miles from Magnolia Silos and within walking distance of several coffee shops and cafes.

Not one of our better vrbo experiences

The couch and living room chairs were dingy and I didn’t want to sit on them. It was our worst vrbo experience to date. We won’t be back to this property.

Not suitable and we didnt even stay there after all

We arrived at the property to meet a friend that was staying with us. When I saw the property, I was very disappointed. The house did not look like the pictures inside and out. The stairs were beginning to rot and the porch was dirty. The cleaners were there, and we had planned to return after they finished, but when we looked inside, it was a no for us. The couch was nasty looking. I have stayed in many VRBO properties around the country, and this is the first time I was totally disappointed. We had to scurry to find a hotel room, so we didnt properly make contact with the manager. I have been in contact with her to resolve this issue, but WE DID NOT EVEN STAY THERE. I suggested to the manager that she should have the property inspected and cleaned and repaired before renting it again.

Baylor vacay

The property was as pictured. There was ease of communication with the property manager and the check in process was seamless. The parking was tricky because of the very narrow driveway but luckily the owner of the business next door allowed us to park in his lot, as long as we parked next to the wall. The road noise was only a minimal issues and was drowned out by the AC units.

Good Stay in Waco

This is a cool house, very spacious, a lot of character and well appointed. Our only issue is there is a noticeable amount of road noise as there is a fairly busy road out front. It is not terrible, but it is a factor. However, the hosts were very communicative and great to work with!

Beautiful home and short drive to everything

The house itself is lovely and extremely clean. Communication with the manager was easy and the response time was quick. We loved checking out all Waco has to offer and we were pleasantly surprised how close the house was to everything we wanted to see. We also enjoyed the coffee shop and pub that was across the street.
