Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located place. This home is located 10 minutes or less to Magnolia, Baylor University, Cameron Park Zoo and much more. Our home holds a lot of history being owned by the descendants of Doris Miller "Dorie". We are thankful for our past and present Veterans. You can't go wrong choosing this place. If you are looking for cozy, come be our guest. If you are a Baylor student looking for housing this is your place with everything you need.
Bringing kiddos? We got you covered! There's an oversized trampoline, basketball goal, and swing set in the back yard! Let's not forget the Ms. Pac Man Arcade games inside 😃See you soon.

What's nearby

  • The Cameron Park Zoo in Waco, Texas is a terrific zoo! The zoo has a great range of animals and exhibits and the grounds are well kept and spacious. There's lots of shade to keep you somewhat cool during those hot Texan summer months if you visit during that time frame. The animal enclosures are nice, and can really give you great views of the animals themselves if you are a bit patient. This also makes for great photo views, as shown here with this photo of an approaching jaguar. Food and snack prices are also very reasonable, as are prices for souvenirs. This zoo makes for a great day out for the family.

Lots of Heart, Great Communication

The host is friendly, accommodating, great at communication, and has such a beautiful story attached to this property.

Quiet Neighborhood, Family Space

Unique older home in Central Waco, close to everything we wanted to see. Nice cold AC welcomed us. We remembered American war hero, Doris Miller and celebrated Juneteenth parade. Kids loved the toys and games.

Lovely home with great details from the past

My family stayed here for graduation and really enjoyed it! LaKee was a great hostess and shared some fascinating history with us. They loved the details that had been preserved from the houses origin, built in corner hutches and such details were beautiful. My sister had lovely memories flood back of sleeping at our Grandma’s house with the ac unit humming her to sleep. The big connect 4 kept our younger guest entertained while everyone got ready in the morning. Really great stay and close to Baylor and the park.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
The listing fell short of the overall shape and cleanliness of this home. We were utterly disappointed and did not even stay one night here due to the condition. The owner has done a great job taking photos that hide the actual condition of this home. I would not book here again.
