Clay Cottage- Magnolia, Baylor and Downtown Waco

Very clean and well equipped especially in the bedrooms with chargers and bathroom with travel size options. Loved the small touches and could tell someone thought about the guest experience.

Detailed Review: The rental is EXACTLY what it says it is. A 3 bedroom, 1 bath cottage type home. It’s not a perfect picture book home, and that’s actually what gave the home charm and made it more comforting. The beds/bedding were comfy. Very close to Baylor and restaurants for parents coming to visit. The home is cozy, and we had a great visit. The owner is amazing with communication, and the pre-visit communication was the best I’ve ever had in 17 years of using this site, addressing possible issues beforehand. The neighborhood is under renovation (as most of Waco is); that said, it is safe and the few people we experienced in the area were kind. We sat on the front porch and talked for a while and had a great time. As far as if being a loud neighborhood, I guess if you live in a very quiet area it is. There is a nice bar/grill spot a street or so over, if you’re sitting outside you can hear music from there. Inside I heard nothing. Neither bothered me and the music was actually nice. I think I heard a car once. As a nurse, the only warning I would give is that it’s a pier and beam foundation, so there is some sloping for older or balance impaired people. There is only one bathroom which did not bother us at all, but again for older or balance impaired people, stepping in and out of the tub is a slight change in height that you should be aware of. Other than those things, this is a great spot that we sincerely enjoyed. Will likely stay again when visiting our Bear.

Clay Cottage stay Cute and very clean with everything you need to enjoy a stay. It’s an older house, so floors are sloping but I thought that added to the charm. Noise from street can be loud. Also there’s a freight train nearby that seems to go by at 3am and doesn’t stop blowing its whistle. Woke me up each night. Microwave stopped working a few times which was surprising because it’s a new one. Owner said he’d look into it. Speaking of owner, he’s very responsive and answers all questions immediately. Walking distance to Magnolia and restaurants. Lots of nice rehabs on the street but also some run down properties, but we felt safe.

Clean, great location by the silos. Communication with host was great!

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.

Wonderful stay We enjoyed a wonderful two-day stay at the Clay Cottage! The location is just a couple blocks from the Silos in a clean and fairly quiet neighborhood. A terrific base from which to explore all that Waco has to offer. Such a perfect spot to visit with friends in the cozy living room or around the fire pit out back. It was easily the best-equipped rental we have ever stayed in with all the kitchen necessities you would need. The beds were so comfortable! David was a great host with immediate response to any questions we had. We can’t wait to return for another stay.
