A REAL Fixer Upper - Giraffe House

Are you a fan of HGTV's Fixer Upper? Step into the world of Chip and Joanna Gaines and experience the ultimate Waco getaway at The Giraffe House - the charming three-bedroom abode featured on HGTV's Fixer Upper Season 4, Episode 15. This delightful home is the perfect retreat for anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind stay just minutes away from downtown Waco and all the Magnolia and Baylor hotspots.


Waco Vacation Rentals manages the property and is available to respond to any questions you have about the property or the check in process. You will be emailed a digital welcome LINK with area information 7 days before your stay, complete with popular places to see, favorite restaurants and things to do in Waco.
On the day of your arrival, you will receive a TEXT message and an EMAIL with access information at 1:00 pm Central Time for your vacation rental. This is self check in property at 3 p.m or after.


The entire house and yard is for your enjoyment during your stay. The playground featured on the show for the kids, grill, table for your outdoor enjoyment.
This house has a shared driveway with house to the left. Plenty of parking to the right towards garage. Please pull forward and do not block driveway at any time.

Lounge on the inviting front porch swing, or head to the spacious backyard for a relaxing retreat. The open living room boasts stunning herringbone flooring salvaged from the bakery, while the pantry doors were a magnificent find from the garage renovation.
The fully equipped kitchen is ready for anything, while the upstairs bathroom is a true masterpiece with a wooden beam and rock from the house's exterior. And if you need a quiet spot to unwind, the upstairs office/reading nook is the perfect place to kick back and relax.
While most of the homes featured on the show are chosen by couples looking for a new place to call home, this particular property received some special attention from Chip and Jo. The couple purchased it as an investment property before completely envisioning and remodeling the home.

Car is recommended.
Uber is available.

While the home was originally celebrated on the show for its uniqueness from their other properties, it still features the signature Chip and Jo style that we all know and love. The Giraffe House exudes a cozy cottage vibe with modern upgrades and eclectic touches that will make you feel right at home.

PLEASE NOTE: Please note that the Master Bedroom, bathroom, and office area are accessible via steep stairs, so they may not be suitable for all guests.
The upstairs office adjacent to the Master bedroom and bath has padded seats and may be suitable for a child to sleep. We also provide a Play n Stay for our small travelers.
