Absolutely Perfect!

Where do I begin. Our stay was wonderful! The host was communicative and helpful from the beginning to the end of our stay. I had inquired about a slow cooker on the property, and although there was not one at the time of my inquiry...voila!...upon our arrival there was not just any slow cooker, there was a 10 in 1 cooking pot that matched the cute decor of the kitchen! So thoughtful!!The home is darling, spacious, and very comfortable. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. We would love to come back!

Fun girls weekend

We really enjoyed this house! It was very cool to stay in a fixer upper house, the decor was spot on too! The host allowed us to use the house past our check out time since our flight didn’t leave till later in the evening. Great communication, lovely people. Highly recommended!

The fixer upper

The house was immaculate clean, and cute decor but the house is alittle run down. The neighborhood is older and houses across the street looked well taken care of but, the neighbors on both sides of this house need some attention. One looked abandoned and the other is lived in but not taken care of. Bed was cumfy but we didn’t sleep either night,We could hear loud traffic during both nights and a neighbor had a barking dog. The master shades do not fit the windows well and had sheer curtains.

Property was prefect for us to visit our 2 kids at Baylor. After dinner a bunch of Bears and a few parents stopped by to enjoy the fire ring. We'll book again!

A Perfect Stay at The Baby Blue Cottage

We recently stayed at The Baby Blue Cottage - Fixer Upper, Season 3 in Waco, Texas, and it exceeded our expectations. The cottage is tidy, well-furnished, and much more spacious than we anticipated, with a lovely open kitchen area. We found the cottage to be peaceful and comfortable, equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Its location is ideal, just a short distance from downtown, where we enjoyed dinner each night of our trip. The owner, Jackie, couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. Our interaction with her was flawless, making our stay even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Waco, I highly recommend The Baby Blue Cottage. It truly felt like a home away from home.

Great Location

We were in town celebrating my Mother in law's 70th birthday. This house was very convenient for visiting Magnolia and all that Waco has to offer. It was fun to stay in a fixer upper house, we ended up watching the episode of this house while staying there one night. The owner has worked hard to make the interior resemble the finished product of the show. The only "surprise" was that the bathrooms were not as updated as I was anticipating, but they were clean and functional.

Great Weekend in Waco

My wife and I traveled down to Waco to see our daughter compete at Baylor and it just so happens my wife is a huge Fixer Upper fan as well. What better way to get the whole Magnolia vibe than to stay in an actual house from the show. It was pretty cool to see all the details we remember from the renovation that Chip and Joanna did. The house is well taken care of, clean, and has all the amenities you can think of while staying away from home. It’s also a quick drive to the Silos and the university Jackie and Anwar were amazing with their communication before, during, and at check out and all of the instructions were clear and concise. This all made our stay very easy and relaxing. If we’re ever back in the area we’d definitely stay here again.
