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

Echt Farmhouse - 12 min from Baylor & Magnolia Market Silos

Our place is 12 min. from Magnolia Market & Baylor's McLane Stadium & 1.5 miles from I-35. You'll love our place because of its quiet location in the country on a working homestead.

This rental is part of a duplex named "Echt House" and this side (left side) of the duplex is named "The Farmhouse". The other side is named "The Ranch" and both are available for larger groups. We ask that all guests be considerate of any guests that may be renting the other side.

We are only 4 miles from the #1 rated restaurant in central Texas -- Cafe' Homestead -- and the Homestead Craft Village. Also, we're only 15 minutes from BSR or Cameron parks.

It is Eco-friendly with spray foamed insulation, energy star washer, dryer, refrigerator, range and microwave with many Eco-friendly supplies.

Its great for couples, business travelers, solo adventurers and families (with kids).

Come and see central Texas!

Note to long term renters: If you intend to book for eight nights or more, we ask that you to contact us prior to booking because we have a short "Terms of Agreement" to sign, other fees and other considerations to mention that make for a better rental experience for all of us. This is especially helpful because of our duplex situation. Thank you for your consideration.

Just a place to stay

We just needed a place to stay for the night. We got there late. It is off the beaten path which is great and quiet but super dark so be carefree navigating.

Cute, clean, quiet farmhouse close to Waco

The Farmhouse (1/2 of duplex) was incredibly clean and comfortable. It was so quiet but only 10-12 minutes to Baylor, we were there for family weekend. This is a great place to unwind and disconnect with comfortable bedrooms, living room and a nice relaxing bathroom.

Cute place…

The place was cute, but could definitely use some upgrades. Ceiling fans in living room and kitchen area didn’t work correctly (wobbly like it’s not mounted correctly), one of the couches was broken & looks like a dog tried to eat the handle?

Great property, feels like country just minutes from all the fun of Waco. The night sky was brilliant with stars and a bright moon, loved the charm. Property owners were easy to communicate with and available if needed.

Clean and Quiet

The property is clean and quiet. It’s a duplex, so I suppose that could affect the quiet, but there was an unrelated group in the adjacent side and we didn’t realize that until leaving the next morning. Communication was clear and met our needs. Would stay here again.

Super cute and clean!

This was my first time staying in a place that wasn't a hotel when traveling and it definitely was a great experience. It was a very warm and welcoming environment. Decorations were super cute and it was very clean for us. The location was quiet and the scenery was beautiful. I definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely Home

This is a lovely home that is well appointed. Easy access to freeway yet also very quiet. While it is a duplex, it is obviously well built because we never heard the other couple next door until they were leaving. The living room has reclining lazy boy rockers that are very comfortable. Chris is a very "hands-on" owner and replied to us quickly before and during our trip. 5 Stars and we are looking forward to our return trip over Labor Day. Thanks Chris!

Cute!

Great little place. Parking was a little wonky. 3 other cars in the same driveway before we got there. Place was clean and simple. Quiet area and back porch was nice looking although we didn’t use it. Love that it was pet friendly. Honestly was a big reason we chose it. Coffee selection was nice! But wish they had water bottles in the fridge as well.

Concert Stay

Booked this property for one night for a concert that was in town. Duplex is clean and decorated very well. They neighbors were very nice but when they left their dogs howled for hours. The walls are thin and you could hear everything. So sad to hear dogs cry for so long.
