Clean & Comfortable With the Right Amount of Funk
A very nice place to stay that lives up to its reputation. The house has been well maintained since its TV makeover making it a great place to stay for a visit to Waco. The hosts are right on top of it and very responsive. Highly recommended.

One Night Stay for Graduation
The property is unique (fun to watch the episode on Fixer Upper) and met our needs for an overnight stay and place to chill after graduation ceremony. Note that parking is limited and house is on a busy street. It’s an older home (despite the remodel) so there are expected signs of age. Note there are two steps into the main living area (which was a hardship for two of our guests).

Baylor Thanksgiving
It was the BEST Thanksgiving! The Baylor WIN helped since our “bear” plays! It really was the perfect house for our family to spend time together! It was so spacious with open living/kitchen areas and great seating! Wish we were still there! And so clean and just a cool vibe throughout. Thank you for a memorable weekend! Also loved the Christmas tree! Felt so homey & festive! Very easy checkout too! Probably the best ever!

Property not being well maintained
It was fun to see the mid mod featured in fixer upper. Unfortunately the property was not being well maintained. It is listed for sale so that may be part of it but the front door has a large crack in a panel that you can see through. The living room carpet is filthy, the fan over the range was covered in grease and the windows were dirty. It was nice to have the mid century living room furniture which was comfortable. It’s little touches like remote controls for the living room tv not labeled and missing batteries. I didn’t contact the property owners about any of the issues because they didn’t impact our stay. Overall it was adequate but I would not choose it again. Bbb. Bbb

We had a long weekend trip for 7 ladies from the class of 1965 that have remained great friends throughout all these years. We try to have frequent trips so places in Texas. The Mid-Mod house was great. I would definitely stay there again.

Waco Get Away
We took some good friends to see Waco and this home was the perfect place to gather. The home is close to everything and provides the perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing. The living and dining area of the house bring the outdoors inside and provide a very relaxing environment. The patio setting is beautiful and provided a great spot for coffee in the mornings listening to the birds. The home fit the six of us just right and the kitchen provided everything we needed. It was interesting to see the video restoration and history of the home. Josh was a great host and was easily accessible for questions. If you are headed to Waco, this is where you want to stay!

Girls trip of a lifetime
Location and house was as pictured with comfortable living room for visiting and had a good house lay out for the 4 of us.
However, we messaged host with areas needing to be addressed for maintenance. If those are addressed I would change the rating to 5 star.
