Family Reunion

Our family reunion is held at Tours Hall every summer. We usually stay at a local hotel l. This year we have the wonderful addition of our 9 month granddaughter so we thought a house might suit us better. This house was perfect! It has everything that you could possibly need. It is big and roomy and do well stocked. The front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee and visiting. We walked to the kolache and pizza shops. Carla was an amazing host. We will definitely be back year after year!

Family wedding get together

We had a wedding in Waco for my cousin and this house accommodated all the out of town travelers. There were about 15 of us all including the kids. Carla was very responsive and accommodating from the beginning. This is an older house that has been remodeled but still has that old time charm to the house. I would definitely stay again. Thanks.

Great family gathering place

We were so happy with The Oak House. This place has 5 bedrooms and 4 of those are very large, making ample room for air mattresses if needed. The kitchen was roomy, and the two dining areas made for great spreads, board games, and conversation. I was worried noise would vary throughout the house but it was not bad at all. My kids enjoyed the basketball hoop. There was a corner store and a restaurant within walking distance, plus Starbucks, McDonald’s, Sonic and a huge gas station within a mile. We made our way down to Waco several times for tourism, groceries, and shopping.

Nice and Easy

Carla was a great host! The house was. Lean and tidy, and checkin was extremely easy. She knew we were staying in town for our university’s homecoming and had school themed decorations in place, and left us a welcome cake. There’s a binder full of recommendations of all the best places to eat, etc. everything in the house was nicely labeled making it extremely easy to find anything. A truely lovely experience.

Awesome Autumn Baby Shower & Girls Weekend

We were looking for a special place for baby shower. Our daughter-in-law’s out of town guests wanted to have a girls weekend while together. We combined it all with additional guests for a brunch shower and this location was perfect! We had everything plus extras; the owner was so accommodating and a step ahead with everything! Definitely 5 stars and above!

Amazing house!

We stayed here for a weekend trip to Waco and Fort Worth. Perfect location outside of the bustling cities. About 20 minutes to Waco and an hour to Fort Worth. Spacious house - we had 6 adults and 2 babies and never felt cramped. Kitchen was fully stocked, great bakery across the street, easy access to the interstate without feeling like you are right on it. House is gorgeous - beauty of an old house with the convenience of updated fixtures. Carla was an amazing host! She was very responsive and gave great recommendations! Will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.

Wonderful Stay in West!

Our stay in west at the Oak House was wonderful! Our family gathered here for the OU Baylor football game - we traveled from Duncan, Edmond and Clinton Oklahoma, Bryan Texas and upstate New York !! It was the perfect place for our whole family to catch up and enjoy one another. The house had plenty of space for the 11 of us. It was cozy, spacious and rich in history, which made everyone feel super comfortable! We ate nearby at the Tipsy Lion and picked up food across the stress from the pizza house - even enjoyed using the basketball goal for a little pee dinner game! Our host Carla was fabulous and checked in to make sure we were taken care of! Everything was easy, accessible and very clean - we all highly recommend staying here!

fun retreat

There were eight of us and we were in the area one night for a Baylor game. Some of the girls wanted to stay in a restored home and this one was just perfect. So many little touches and the ambience of a by-gone era. It was evident that this is an owner that really cares! on the way to the game we went just down the street to the bakery! It was such a fun stay!

Beautiful historic home yet so homey

Beautiful historic home that was immaculate and beautifully renovated while still being homey and comfortable. The kitchen and linens were amply supplied and of nice quality. The outside temperatures were near 100 degrees and the AC system kept everyone cool even the bedrooms on the 2nd floor.
