Fun girls trip for sorority bid day at Baylor

Perfect spot to join my older daughter and sister-in-law to be there for my middle daughter’s sorority bid day. Also brought our little dog who loved the spacious backyard and walks to dog friendly Pinewood for morning coffee. He also really enjoyed watching the world go by through the beautiful glass front door. I love historic homes and this one is a beauty! We also really enjoyed the gas fireplace on the cold weekend.

Holiday stay

We needed a place for additional family member to stay during the holiday. This home was so nice and had a great location. The beds were very comfortable and everything was conveniently located upstairs with the bedrooms, so coffee was only steps away in the mornings!

Beautiful Home

We stayed in this beautiful home to celebrate my 50th birthday, and I'm glad we chose this home. It's so close to the Downtown area and centrally located to everything there is to do in Waco. We will definitely stay here again on our return trip to Waco as there is so much to do in Waco than one weekend can handle.

Great location and super easy check in. Loved that there was gated parking and keyless entry. Comfortable beds and great character to the house. Close to everything, never spent more than 15 min in the car driving to places. Our Baylor student found the house easily and said it was only an 8min drive. Slight road noise at night but nothing that would keep us from staying here again. The kitchen had everything we needed. (Pots, pans, dishwasher, coffee maker, etc) The house had a great layout, witg multiple sitting areas inside and out as well as spacious bedrooms.

Quick trip to Magnolia

Had a great long weekend in Waco. We went with my parents. It’s good to note that the bedrooms and kitchen are upstairs and with older people or toddlers the stairs could be an issue. The house is absolutely beautiful, everything you need is there. It’s close to Magnolia and great restaurants and easy to get in and out of. Would definitely recommend!

Great place!

Loved the historic feel with modern comfort! Hard to find better parking at any other VRBO in Waco. We have used several. Centrally located. It was nice having a separate living area downstairs for those of us who wanted to relax and read. It was worth carrying luggage upstairs. Definitely would come Again!

Don't just stay in a home - stay in home from yesteryear!

The Inn on Austin Ave offers the perfect home away from home. Everything's included that you would expect but then there are the items you weren't expecting - the s'mores kit for the fire pit was an unexpected bonus! Outdoor dining space was perfect for eating or late night drinks and the parlor was a great place to sit and enjoy family time. You can rent a home for any getaway - but you don't often get to rent a 100 year old home that has amazing details in it. We definitely enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it.

Positive reviews are correct!

The many positive reviews for this property are accurate. It is a really cool restored old house/law office in an excellent location. Sure there are noises like creaky stairs, nearby trains, city life, etc. but they support what you would expect in a small-town atmosphere. I really like knowing that the bedding, including comforters, are professionally cleaned between guest visits.

Amazing home!!

Our stay at this beautiful home for a quick mid-week trip was fantastic! This turn-of-the-century home has obviously been lovingly and painstakingly restored, and is simply stunning. The spacious rooms are well appointed, but also feel homey. The new beds were incredibly comfortable, and provided a great night's sleep. We enjoyed the lovely leather sofas and the huge TV. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with everything we needed. And everything was so beautifully decorated and clean! The neighborhood is quiet and close to so much, but especially to all things Magnolia. Hosts (and owners) John and Erin were very gracious and hospitable, and have thought of so many details for a great stay. I'm so glad to have found such a lovely home! Looking forward to my next visit here.

Our stay at the Inn at Austin

We loved the Inn at Austin. It was great to have the whole property and the grandkids loved the big parking area in the back for riding bikes and scooters. They also used the basketball goal every day! Erin was great to work with and very responsive to any questions we had. The Inn is in a GREAT location. It was so easy to get around. We were within a few steps or miles of everything we wanted to do. Everything you could need is available in the house and kitchen. We just had a great time and enjoyed getting out after a year of not doing much. We enjoyed the neighborhood with sidewalks, sitting out on the big front porch and also the upstairs patio for dinners in the evening. We thank Erin again for everything from making the reservation a simple task, to getting the access info to us, to answering our questions.

Amazing Girls Trip Location!!!

My sister and I booked this awesome inn for our week-long getaway with our 3 girls. There were enough common areas for us to either hang out together or get away from each other and read or work on homework (me!). The beds (and bedding) were so comfy and there were lots of towels and amenities for us all, plenty of outlets for all of our electronics, and everything in the kitchen that we could want. The washer/dryer was so appreciated and we traveled home with clean clothes! We didn't use the fire pit as it was very warm, but we LOVED the outdoor dining area on top of the carport and used it every day for a morning cup of coffee, dinner together after a long day, or a late-night drink before we turned in. It can be so difficult to book a property in a safe-feeling neighborhood and central to all the spots you want to visit when you live states away. We read lots of reviews on many different properties and we hit the mark with this one. We loved being able to park off the street, we always felt safe coming and going and this location was so easy for us to get to no matter where we spent our day. Best of all our hosts, Erin & John, were a dream to work with. They prepared us to arrive at their home, quickly answered all of our questions, and left detailed instructions for check-out. The virtual electronic guide to the area's restaurants, shopping, and other fun spots was a huge help to this out-of-town family and was a really fun feature. We highly recommend this property for your next trip to Waco! :)
