Comfortable, clean, lovely
Check in was a breeze, we came to Waco to see the Mammoth site and relax for a few days. The studio was clean and had everything we needed; kitchenette was great so we didn’t have to eat every meal out, full bath with gorgeous shower, and the pool! It felt so private and secluded, yet was in a beautiful historic neighborhood with lots of stuff to do nearby. Helpful folder in the room with restaurants close by. It was wonderful!!

Just ok
The house was fine, not what we expected and not the privacy we were looking for. Pool was fine but wouldn't swim in it. Air Conditioning unit leaked all over which wasnt great for sleeping. It's a bed and bathroom plain and simple.

Excellent spot when you need a private place to stay for a weekend
The hosts are excellent with communication. The place is spotless and thoughtfully well supplied.
I did not get a hotel room before they were booked up, and this was an excellent alternative.
I would stay here again, and I highly recommend it

Visit to Waco
Everything was exactly as advertised. Nice comfortable 1 room apartment. Nice pool to swim in and perfectly located in the city with easy access to any and everything we wanted to see. The host family had the room set up with everything anyone would need. My wife and I are very impressed with the whole set up and are both very pleased and happy we chose this site.

Top-Notch Place for a Travel Worker
I appreciate the privacy during my stay. It's a studio packed with everything I needed to be comfortable after a 12-hour day at work. The neighborhood is beautiful, and I felt safe at night. I'm already planning to stay here again.

Very beautiful little spot
We enjoyed the beauty of the neighborhood, the great accessibility to downtown, and the would have certainly enjoyed the privacy of the pool had the weather permitted. We found the guest house to be beautifully and thoughtfully fitted. We would definitely consider staying again!
