Girls’ Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect spot for our 3 generation girls’ shopping trip. We were able to walk to boutiques and the silos and it was just a short drive to the places we wanted to eat. It was clean and we felt safe.

Lovely experience

The Clay Cottage is well appointed and comfortable, accommodating my family of six. The owners are gracious, kind, and excellent communicators. They provided a home that was appointed to allow us to prepare our meals and find refuge from the Texas heat during our stay. We were able to walk to many of the places we visited in Waco. This was a nice experience that was enhanced by the owners kindness.

Great location with charm!

A cute little house in a great location for accessing most of downtown Waco! We were able to walk to all the restaurants, shops, and attractions on our list! Plenty of street lights so we felt comfortable walking home from dinner even as it started getting dark. We ways travel with white noise machines, so had no trouble with street noise. Highly recommend!
