Baylor Football Season Ready! Take TWO streets to Downtown & Magnolia Silos!

Unlike other properties, we are located one block away from THREE Magnolia Fixer Upper homes that you can see on your evening walk! Additionally, we are less than 10 minutes to Baylor. Plus, we have plenty of room for your large groups with FOUR bedrooms and THREE bathrooms. Additionally, our home is the perfect getaway for a couples, family, or girls trip! Our Mavie House is located just over 2 miles from the Silos and downtown area! Waco offers beautiful walks by the river, hikes through Cameron Park, trips to the lake, shopping shopping shopping, and much more!

Character, comfort, and charm describe this newly renovated historic home! My wish for you is to enjoy a weekend of relaxation, fun, and of course, plenty of sweetness!

Other things to note

Welcome to Texas! The weather can range from one extreme to the next all within 24 hrs. We ask when using heat keep the temp no higher than 68 and when using AC no lower than 65 (at night only) and 70 during the day. This helps the unit run as efficiently as possible without causing damage.

Additionally, we try to keep the electricity usage as Earth Friendly and conservative as possible. When not using a room, can you please be mindful of turning lights off in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and all other areas of the home. We are super appreciative of your assistance in helping us be more environmentally friendly.

Please text the property manager, Ashley upon checkout. Her number is in the guestbook.

Children are allowed, but I do not have the home set of for safety in regards to infants ages 0-2. Also, most of the furniture, bedding and towels are white, so children of all ages may need to be watched carefully to avoid spills and stains. I appreciate your help in keeping the place clean from stains!

Please no shoes on the living room rug or bedroom carpets.

Fireplace is inoperable at this time, and for display only.

Windows - if for any reason you need to open windows please be very careful. They are the original 1916 windows. They are heavy and don’t hold in the open position. If let loose they will break. Thank you for being careful!

Great stay near all things Magnolia!

We loved our stay here at Sweet Mavie house! The location proximity to all things Magnolia could not be beat. The property was super-clean and had all that we needed. The hosts are laid back and made an effort to make our stay as comfortable and easy-going as possible. We loved all the Magnolia decor touches, too! Thank you for a lovely place to stay on our couples getaway!

Baylor Family Weekend

This property was spacious enough for all of us and has three bathrooms. The living room is large and comfortable with a full kitchen. The location is a bit of a drive from the Baylor University campus and a short distance from restaurants and shopping. Overall, good stay for larger parties.

Sisters reunion

Our stay was for 5 sisters ages 69-82 and 2 spouses. We come from New York State, Minnesota and Texas. So Waco was a good spot to meet. And there was the attraction of the Magnolia Market/Silos. The "cottage" fit us well. The living room had comfortable seating for everyone. Perfect as much of our time was spent talking and visiting. Plenty of bathrooms.....comfortable beds and central air conditioning! This was important as temperatures outside were unusually high for the time of year. Overall, the house deserves a high rating.

Great house for 8!

We loved staying at this house in Waco! The house was charming, clean, and located in a great spot. There are only beds for 8 and it said it sleeps 10. We had to look around for other bedding and did find an air mattress. But loved the house and would definitely stay again.

Girls Trip

House was a good place to stay for our girls trip as there is plenty of seating in living & kitchen / dining room! Beds were comfy. Downsides were trash cans were full & stinky, dishwasher was broken & yard needed mowed & attention in back for mosquitos. Time outside was spent on front porch which have 2 nice rockers, a couple would have be nice. Neighborhood is not the best with some booming music when cars drove by but it didn’t really bother us much. Owner was responsive when notified of full trash & dishwasher but of course could only apologize. Overall, great proximity to various shopping / restaurants and home was comfortable.

The overall place is nicely appointed. The climate control was great, but the house needs some work. The floor tiles slide in multiple places when you walk and my son slipped and fell to the floor, the dishwasher is not secure in it's spot, the bathroom with tub didn't drain, the master bath right sink didn't have hot water (warm) and plumbed on the wrong side. The pans and dishes were dirty. The property manager was responsive and willing to work on the items but we held off since we didn't want the disruption due to our sons wedding. Once we checked out, the property manager told us a ceramic figurine was broken (we didn't break it) and she would charge us 15 and then said never mind. Location was okay.
