House met our expectations. Lovely decor and very clean. Walking distance was perfect for Magnolia and tours. Safe neighborhood. My only recommendations would be to provide hooks in bedroom for clothes and hooks in the bathroom for towels. Also a covering for the window over the bed would be a plus.

A short walk to everything worth visiting in Waco. Adorable set-up, kitchen, master bedroom and living room. Clean, updated amenities, great closed in backyard. Thank you for hosting us and our little fur babies. It was the perfect birthday getaway!

Very nice little house. Perfect accomodations for our short visit to Waco. Good location for walking to the Magnolia area. However, bad location for loud music on Friday night coming from the Backyard bar ~200 yards from the house. Mostly good. But we're too old for loud music at night

My husband and I decided to stay a night in Waco during our trip to Texas and this quaint little home was available for us. It’s decorated super cute and the host was very accommodating. A quick walk to the silo district, wish we could have stayed longer!!!!

I was in Waco for a conference. The house was just 5 minutes from the convention center and close to everything downtown or along the freeway. It was a great location. Very comfortable for 1-2 people or, like me, 1 and a dog. The backyard was great for him. Would definitely stay there again if I find myself in Waco.

Just returned from Waco visit. Clay house was just as described. Very close to Magnolia Market, Dr Pepper Museum and downtown Waco. All within walking distance. Would highly recommend Clay House stay if looking for small updated quaint house. Had plenty of room for 2 of us. Amenities were perfect for our short stay(3 days).

This was such a cute VRBO. Exactly as listed on the website. The location was perfect just a 5 minute walk. More wash clothes, towel racks & silver wear would be the only thing I would change. The inside is decorated so cute! Highly reccomend this property.

we stayed here one night & had a comfortable experience. We woke up with the sunrise, as the uncovered window above the bed brought the sunlight in early. All but the bedside lights in this home are daylight bulbs (5000k or so) and didn't allow for much nighttime ambiance. We were able to check in a couple hours early, and had a warm welcome once we got in. Very easy check in/out process, 100% recommended for a couple or small family.

This small but cozy house was just the right size for a short stay. We selected the home due to its close proximity to Magnolia & was not disappointed - it's literally a short walk over. We also walked around downtown Waco from the property & felt very safe. I didn't pay close enough attention to what's available in the kitchen though - no stove, cooktop or toaster so preparing a decent meal there was tough but there is a gas grill out back so we got creative! It was nice to have a washer/dryer since we arrived in Waco after already visiting Austin.

Everything was great about this place except the neighbor’s light shines in the master bedroom all night long. And there is no window covering for that window. Bring your eye mask. Otherwise great location and well appointed.

We loved the layout of this small house and really appreciated the close proximity to The Silos and Magnolia Market. The house is very clean and tidy with just the right amenities for a multi-night stay. The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is large and clean. There were only a few things that we could see that would improve the overall stay. First, the shower head did not have enough pressure and made it a little challenging to use. Second, there is a large window in the wall over the bed. It doesn’t have any kind of window treatment and that means that the street light outside really lit up the room at night and made it difficult to sleep. A simple blind or curtains could alleviate this problem. Lastly, the couch is not very comfortable. I am sure this is due to it being a pull out sleeper sofa. A couple of footstools would go a long way to making this more comfortable by giving you a place to prop your feet up and relax. As I stated earlier, with the exception of these few things, we loved the location and cleanliness of this cute lodging. We have already recommended this to some of our friends that’s are interested in visiting Waco. We will certainly stay here again when we come visit again.

The property was just as pictured. Close to the Silos and many restaurants. The bed was comfortable and just enough space for me and my sister. Made lots of memories and enjoyed our stay!

We enjoyed The Clay House very much. The location couldn’t be better, just a short walk to The Silos. It was super cute and comfortable. We will definitely stay again next time!

We enjoyed our stay at Clay House to celebrate my moms birthday with her 2 daughters at Magnolia. We loved to be able to walk and enjoy Magnolia and the Silos area. Pictures are outdated and we thought there was a kerig coffee machine. However, coffee was provided in the kitchen! Thanks for this option. We ended up walking to Magnolia Press each morning for coffee instead. It was only a few blocks away and so good! Future guests… Bring hair conditioner if you like separate conditioner for washing your hair. This was not available at the property. Thankfully my sis packed some! Home was clean and has the old feeling of a fixer upper with some unleveled floors and finishings. Decorates cute and has a nice touch! Conveniently located by the Silos! Huge bonus and if you love music…the Backyard bar is near by. We heard cover bands playing every night and enjoyed it. We were able to fall asleep without issues from the noise.

Great property and location , walking distance to magnolia silos, area restaurants as well as shopping. I wish there was a freezer or ice maker because it was so hot outside and wanted to refill our cups to keep our beverages cold. Having a washer and dryer was a plus and the included detergent was generous. If our son chooses Baylor we will be back for sure and rent this lovely home again.
