A perfect graduation weekend
We were so fortunate to happen upon this listing when our daughter was a freshman and it has been our number 1 choice ever since. Lori is such a gracious host. She makes sure that every thing is perfect down to the last detail. There was no question as to where we wanted to spend our daughter’s gradation weekend. We had family fly in from out of state and I kept hearing over and over what an amazing home it was. Lori truly thinks of everything needed to make your stay the absolute best. I can’t recommend this host and home enough. It is the perfect retreat to relax and catch up with family and friends.

Perfect location for college roommate mini-reunion
My 3 former college roommates and I converged on Waco for a mini-reunion last weekend. The Haven@Chapel RIdge was the perfect location for us to catch up. We found everything we needed in this charming cottage and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The owner was attentive to questions we had and we appreciated all the little details she took care of to make sure we were comfortable, including snacks! I would highly recommend The Haven for a small group of friends or a small family. We just might have to meet again at The Haven next year!

Best VRBO in Waco
This was our second stay. It is a fabulous, clean, nicely decorated home. I've stayed at many VRBO s and this is on my top list. Host left us brownies, ice cream and a basket of snacks!

No better place to stay
There are not enough adjectives to adequately describe the hostess or the property. This experience far exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was stocked with extra foods to enjoy, a fresh platter of brownies upon our arrival, and ice cream in the freezer. We felt welcomed and safe our entire stay.

Perfectly Cozy
Everything was incredibly cozy! Lori provided several snacks and refreshments, including a peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream. The fully fenced in backyard was perfect for throwing the ball to our pup. The entire home was just lovely! This was the perfect weekend getaway - close to Baylor, downtown, and shopping. Thank you so much, Lori!
