Baylor 50th Reunion

Three lifelong friends who met at Baylor when freshmen in 1970 came together for our 50th reunion. The Haven provided us a very comfortable place to gather to celebrate and reminisce. The location in the Woodway area was convenient to many major roads in & out of Waco. Plenty of restaurants were nearby to make it easy to plan dinners. The neighborhood was quiet and the house simply & pleasantly appointed. The perfect spot for our reunion group!

We came to Waco to watch our son compete in the iron man. We visited Magnolia market and saw some of downtown Waco. Would have enjoyed more time here as it is a very cute location. The neighborhood was quiet and my son and I biked around it. The house had everything plus. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed all the extras provided. I would definitely stay here again.
