Ultra clean home

Fantastic stay! The house felt cozy and safe. It was extraordinarily clean. We’ll certainly book again on our next trip. It’s also centrally located so you’re a short drive from a major grocery store and great shopping.

Adorable and comfortable home

This is a charming house filled with books. The two bedrooms and one bath is more than enough to accommodate four adults. It includes all the amenities that you will need. The host is very engaging and responds quickly to your questions. If we ever make it down this way again, we will definitely stay here again.

Clean, great location and we loved the books!

This property was clean, stocked well with the things you need, such as kitchen appliances and equipment, plenty of towels and wash cloths. The only drawback was the mattresses on beds were uncomfortable and the thermostat kept changing temperature to some kind of automated program already installed. Overall we were pleased with the home.

Wonderful cottage! I rented it for a girlfriend getaway. There was plenty of room to visit, work on a project, yet have separate space to relax. Excellent location in a quiet neighborhood. It’s easy to get to downtown and great restaurants. Great host with excellent communication!

Great little place to stay!

My family stayed in this cozy, eclecticly decorated, home for a weekend. It had absolutely everything we needed and was very clean. Quick access to grocery, restaurants, shops, etc. I would defintely rent again. This home is in an older neighborhood with small homes, but the surrounding area is nice. My one and only very minor complaint was with the electrical outlets. Our three-prong cords did not work due to this being an older home with two-prong outlets. I would suggest bringing an outlet adaptors. Other than that, everything was fantastic!!

Wonderful Stay!

We traveled to Waxahachie for a family wedding and throughly enjoyed our time in our VRBO home away from home. Katherine, the owner, was awesome and communicated throughout the process. The home was just as described m filled with charm and personality. The backyard is beautiful as well as the home. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the extras provided such as toiletries and towels. We would not hesitate to reach out again and stay if the home was available.

Perfect location with 2 door garage

I came here for TX2K and I could not be happier with this location and the property. It was exactly what I needed. Garage allows you to keep your vehicle clean and safe. Huge backyard for playing catch or a quiet dinner outside. Full kitchen with dishes and silverware, stove, over and microwave. One small TV but like I said, I was here for racing, so I didn’t need all the amenities I would if I were taking a vacation. I can’t say enough about the location. It’s near everything in town and has easy access to all parts of the small city. I’ll be back each year as long as TX2K is here!!
