About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Downtown Waco retreat! 2 blocks to Magnolia Silos! Huge private balcony!

"Time together is a gift"... this quote from Joanna Gaines perfectly encompasses what we want our space to be... a place where friends and family can enjoy time together.

Located on Austin Avenue in the heart of Downtown Waco, we are quite literally steps from an endless selection of shopping, restaurants and entertainment options.

- 5 minute walk - The Magnolia Silos and the Finderey are both a 5 minute walk from our door, with lots of other great shopping opportunities in between.
- 2 miles or less - Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Cameron Park and the Cameron Park Zoo are all less than 2 miles from our property.

You truly cannot ask for a better location in the Waco area.

BEDS to sleep 6 comfortably...
Bedroom 1 - features a king bed, adjoining full bathroom with large soaking tub and direct access to our private balcony. Tempurpedic mattress with down comforter, 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Smart TV w/ full cable & streaming apps.
Bedroom 2 - features a king bed, adjoining full bathroom and direct access to our private balcony. Tempurpedic mattress with down comforter, 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Smart TV w/ full cable & streaming apps.
Beds 3 & 4 - two resort quality tempurpedic rollaway twin beds can be used in the master bedroom or living room. We shopped extensively for a rollaway bed that offered the same comfort as a stand alone. No sore backs or restless nights with these beds... you'll want to bring them home with you!

Our expansive private balcony offers views of downtown Waco and the upcoming Magnolia Hotel. Featuring spacious outdoor living and outdoor dining areas as well as a firepit, it's the perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or relax after a day of exploring. In addition to our private balcony, the property also features a shared 3rd floor balcony with an outdoor television and 360 degree views of Downtown Waco.

5★ AMENITIES:
We've paid particular attention to "the little things" that make a stay more comfortable:
- Large king beds w/ high-quality, tempurpedic mattresses in both bedrooms
- 1,500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets
- Premium resort-grade towels
- Dedicated work space with complimentary stationary and post cards
- Expanded charging ports on all bedside tables
- High speed wireless internet
- HD TV's w/ full cable & streaming apps in the living room & both bedrooms
- Complimentary pack & play, high chair seat, children's dishware and utensils, and sound machines to make your little one's stay as restful as yours!
- Propane grill with accessories
- Propane fire pit

PLEASE NOTE! Our condo is located in the heart of Downtown Waco near many restaurants, bars and music venues. You will often be able to hear music from neighboring establishments, particularly on Thurs, Fri and Sat nights. We have provided sound machines in each bedroom for your convenience but if you are looking for absolute solitude during your stay, you might want to consider a property outside of the downtown area.

If you're looking to stay in the heart of what makes Waco so special... great food and shopping, Silobration, farmer's markets, live music, street festivals, homecoming parades and more... you've found the right place!

Please feel free to message me if you have any other questions regarding our property. We would love to welcome you as our guest.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.

Clean and comfortable.
This property is beautiful and clean. The bedding is luxurios and do very comfortable. The kitchen is big and it would’ve been good for cooking - we weren’t. Ha The tv was hard to figure out and we stayed frustrated, until one of us figured it out. The bed frame was a little tricky as the post stuck out. My brother stubbed his toe because of this.

Nice property with loud neighbors
The property was very clean. It was a very nicely decorated appartment in a great downtown location. There was a lot to do within 5-10 minutes of the property. The Only downside was the Karaoke bar practically next door. They stayed loud well past midnight. This is a great property otherwise.

Lovely spot!
We loved this spot. Very conveniently located in downtown Waco. We came to visit the Magnolia Market and other Magnolia locations, and we were right next to Hotel 1928 and in east walking distance from the silos. We spent so much time out on the patio enjoying the fire pit. There was a good bit of noise from neighboring bars, but Robin was really communicative and helpful if it got too loud for us, which it didn’t. Thanks for the great stay!

Great stay!
Beautiful & clean condo. Well stocked kitchen. We loved spending time on the private patio. Listing pictures are 100% accurate. If you’re visiting for all things Fixer Upper, this is your perfect place. If you’re in Waco for anything else, this is still your perfect place. Tip: you have to walk up a flight of steps to get to the unit, so don’t pack more than you can carry up. If there’s an elevator, I didn’t see it.

The Retreat is the heart of downtown Waco
Loved our location of the condo and within walking distance of the Silos and all of the hotels and restaurants we wanted to visit. Cozy beds and comfortable set up. Had everything we needed. Loved sitting on the deck and enjoying the views. Clubs we’re loud so need to be a night owl for this location. Wouldn’t be ideal for young children sleeping at night. Perfect for an adult girls trip!
