Beautifully Renovated Home near Downtown Waco, Baylor Univ. & Magnolia Silos

Surrounded by majestic oak trees, the beautifully renovated Brickyard House offers you comfort, modern convenience and tasteful style. This authentic Texas home provides the best of both worlds: relaxation in the peaceful countryside and easy access to Waco, Baylor, Magnolia Silos and the small Czech town of West. This historic 4-generation farm is recognized by the State of Texas as an official historic 100-Year Family Land Heritage Farm. Book this gem of a property before your dates disappear.

The property includes a full one-acre yard with countless colorful birds coming and going throughout each day. You will have the entire home all to yourself. And once you arrive, you will quickly understand why our guests keep coming back. The Brickyard House is a peaceful retreat. And if you have any questions at all, before or after booking your visit, simply reach out to Clyde. He is genuinely happy to help. Whether you're coming with family, with friends or on your own, a wonderful getaway awaits you. This property is not a typical short-term rental. It truly is a home away from home, a place for you to recharge and rejuvenate at the end of each day, whether you are visiting Waco, West, or just staying on the farm.

And although The Brickyard House is a great place to unplug and unwind, you can also enjoy our free Wi-Fi network to stream your favorite shows on a 55" HD TV or to login and get some work done. When you're ready to venture out, you can grab kolaches in the historic Czech town of West (less than 5 minutes away) or experience the recently revitalized downtown district of Waco (only 15 minutes away). After an event at Baylor or after exploring the Magnolia Silos, escape the crowds and return to your country retreat. However you choose to spend your time, the memories you make here will last a lifetime.

Listen to the songs of cardinals and bluebirds, and if you're lucky, you might even see a roadrunner or two, or possibly even hear an occasional barn owl as the sun goes down! Enjoy a glass of wine with a beautiful Texas sunset, followed by some of the best star gazing in the state! Or enjoy a morning cup of coffee while watching baby calves run and jump in the surrounding fields. It's now your turn to exhale, relax and enjoy your stay here at The Brickyard House.

And finally, we encourage you to read the reviews of this property for yourself to see what our guests have to say. We think they speak for themselves.

Also worth noting:
With 2 bedrooms (1 king and 1 queen) and 1 bathroom, the house is perfect for 2-4 guests. However, there is also a sofa sleeper in the living room so the house can actually sleep up to 5, if needed.

A Peaceful Farmhouse Stay

This farmhouse was a perfect peaceful country retreat! A tractor was displayed at the edge of the well-cared-for yard surrounded by beautiful oak trees. During morning coffee, baby calves, cardinals and bluebirds would appear. The farmhouse and property were very clean and it is evident that this was a once wonderful family home where great memories were made. Clyde anticipated my questions in advance by providing detailed instructions and he kept the lines of communication open in case I needed anything, but it was a perfect stay!

Great place, great host, peaceful location = 5 stars all around!

Great location if you are looking for distance from Waco, but close enough to drive (or uber) in for the day (20 mins out). Clyde was fantastic at communicating and the house is spotless clean with cold water in the fridge waiting for your arrival. Beautiful and thoughtful updates! Highly recommend!

Cozy Country

We had such a wonderful stay at the Brickyard house! Clyde is the perfect host and very responsive to communications. The house was clean, spacious, and provided everything we could have possibly needed. And having coffee with the cows was such a sweet surprise! Super easy to get to nearby Waco too. We will be staying again!

This is my 4th time to stay at the Brickyard House! It is wonderful - perfectly clean farmhouse in the country but so close to Waco. It is so serene to look out back and see the cows in the pasture. Everything you need is provided. Clyde our host provides amazing communication and service. We can't wait to go back!! hostEverythingnneednpeovidedpeicide

Best Vrbo

I can’t say enough about this property. It is beautiful inside and out, including the cows that come to visit in the mornings. Our “super host”,which is an understatement, was wonderful. Clyde communicated with us on the daily. The most wonderful part was learning the family history of this home. Thank you Clyde and family We will be back.

Private and comfy

I loved staying here for Baylor Family weekend. This was a much better option for us than a Waco hotel. So quaint and quiet and only 15 minutes campus. The beds were very comfy, so we slept great. I’ll have to say that the cows coming to the fence line for water in the mornings is the main reason I’ll come back. It added to the vibe for sure!

Best VRBO stay ever!

Clyde puts hospitality first and we felt so welcomed. His family home has been wonderfully renovated for guests and we had everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Quality through and through in the kitchen, living room, bedrooms. The surroundings are quiet and peaceful and the cows in the field are a key component of that peaceful presence one feels. For anyone who loves a cozy, quiet get-away, this is THE place to be!
