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.

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!

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.

Great place!

I came to visit Waco with my daughter and 2 grandkids ages 2&3. We had a wonderful stay at Clay Cottage. The beds were comfy, the living room was cozy and comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very responsive and offered many wonderful suggestions for things to do and places to eat in the area. The location was perfect, it was a quick walk to the Silos and we felt very safe. Check-in and out was a breeze. I highly recommend staying at Clay Cottage!

Close to Silos/Downtown

Property was in a great location to everything we wanted to visit. Silos were right down the street within walking distance. Great restaurants and entertainment close by. Five minute drive to Baylor Campus. Over all great cottage, very clean and easy to get in and out of. Host was very easy to communicate with and accommodating.

Delightful little house

We enjoyed ourselves in this wonderfully equipped house. The decor is lovely, the furniture is very comfortable, and the ac works really well. The proximity to the Silos at Magnolia is awesome, and we enjoyed walking to restaurants, as well as cooking at home. Clay Avenue is busier than I thought it would be, but the house itself makes up for that.😊. Would highly recommend.

Cute Cottage

Cottage was very cute and clean. Bathroom was tiny and difficult to maneuver if you are more than 5'5" tall or over 185 lbs. Neighborhood is transitioning so be aware not all homes are updated and some transients may be around. We had no issues but just be mindful of surroundings. Abundant exterior lighting so light filtering window treatments would be helpful. Very close to Silos and downtown Waco. This was a great place to stay for our visit. Owners were very responsive and gave helpful guidance to local eateries and activities. We would stay here again.

Just the right size

This cute cottage is located very close to the Silo area. If it had not been so hot, (95-100 degrees) we could have walked to it. The cottage itself was clean and decorated very tastefully with lots of extras for guest: charging devices at each bedside, hair dryers, shampoo, conditioner, & bottled water to name a few. Although this home is located on a busy street, we were not bothered with noise that kept us from sleeping. There are several homes being renovated in this area, but again, no noise that bothered us. There is one bathroom, which is small, but the owners have taken advantage of every space to make it very functional. We had one issue the first morning we were there, but the owner, David, responded within 15 minutes and took care of the need. I’m happy we chose this rental as it was close to everything we wanted to do.

PERFECT Location!!!

We absolutely loved our stay in this cute and charming home on Clay Ave! We were in Waco for Baylor’s Orientation for my freshman daughter and moving my junior daughter into a new house so this trip was a working trip for us! The location was perfect and only 2 blocks from Magnolia so I was able to walk to Magnolia Press every morning for coffee. My daughter and friend staying with us did morning runs around the silo district and neighborhood daily too and felt very safe. Clay Ave is a busy street but we never had any issues with noise at night. Also the beds were some of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. We’ve stayed in many rentals and it was so nice to come back home after a long day and get a good nights sleep. The house had everything, even a hairdryer for each bedroom which was such a bonus allowing us to dry our hair in the bedroom while someone else used the bathroom. One bathroom was never a problem - the house has everything you need, even extra toiletries, and the owners had cute baskets in each room with waters and chocolates for us upon arrival! Such a wonderful home and we will definitely stay again!
