Silos Vacation
Came with my mom for a girl’s trip to the Silos. The house is beautifully updated and decorated. Everything is new and clean. The location is an easy walk to the Silos and other shopping in the area. Tons of great restaurants nearby. Overall, we had a great trip!

A good time was had by all
Great place and location. A suggestion for both bathrooms - rails for the shower and bathtub. Both were slippery and someone could easily fall with no rails to grab hold. Also, a shelf in the shower to place shampoo/body wash. The kitchen was very well thought out. There were pleasant details everywhere. Would easily stay there again. Nice and clean as well!

Great house in great location
We stay in a lot of vacation homes and I’ll have to admit, this one was everything promised and more. It was just as pictured, clean, convenient, and stocked well beyond the average. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, snacks, etc. I would most definitely pick this exact house on our next visit. Absolutely perfect and the owner/management know what it takes to make a carefree vacation experience a reality.

Waco warm welcome!
Jesse’s Place was a great home base to explore Waco and Baylor U. It was convenient to the campus, Magnolia Silos, and Waco. House was clean, had all the home amenities we needed (shampoo/body wash/ conditioner, washer/dryer/ smart TVs. The video game machine was a bonus and the bunk beds gave everyone a good restful sleep. Jessica took care of us with the check into the property and the automatic gate for the rear driveway made us feel safe. Would stay here again! Thx

This home was perfect for our family of 7! We were in Waco to visit our daughter and attend the BU game. We also celebrated Thanksgiving! The kitchen had everything we needed.

Lovely remodeled home with space for everyone. Just wish the fan chains were longer so speed could be adjusted. Very close to LOTS of eateries and within walking distance to Magnolia/silos. Neighborhood is not great, but once you’re inside you forget about it.

Beautiful home
We enjoyed our stay in Jesses house! It is close to silos but we drove to silos so we didn’t have to carry the packages approx 3 blocks. There was plenty of free parking in town. Plenty of places close by to eat!! The property is surrounded by a wooden fence with auto gate to enter and exit. This was wonderful! We would not hesitate to return to this home when we return to Waco. The welcome book was fun to read. We felt well cared for during our stay. If we had a question we just had to ask. It was like having our own concierge service. If you go to Waco stop by Jesse’s family Tortilla Factory located 1226 Webster street. His cousin is a lovely man and a joy to chat with. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Perfect weekend getaway at Jessie’s place.
Jessie’s place was the setting for a wonderful weekend hub for my family. The house was so cute, pristine, and very well stocked with everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the backyard patio with the shade canopy in the mornings and evenings. The neighborhood is still up and coming but proximity to the Sillos and lots of restaurants was awesome.
