Songbird Haven - 2BR/ 1BA cottage 10 miles from Silos, Peaceful & CLEAN

Songbird Haven, our cozy 2 BR/1 BA country cottage, is 10 miles from the Silos, Magnolia and Baylor and just 3 miles from Homestead Craft Village and the Ploughshare Institute. If you’re traveling alone, with a spouse or friend, or in a group up to four, our super clean cottage provides a comfy and peaceful space to unwind after a busy day. The front porch is a great place to rock your cares away! (Max occupancy = 4 registered guests.) Absolutely no parties or large gatherings. You will always have lots of privacy and may never see us, but we do live on the property. It’s important for us to know who is on our property at all times.

THE SPACE:
Our super CLEAN 2 BR/ 1 BA cottage, fitted with modern conveniences and comfy furnishings throughout, offers travelers a truly relaxing and refreshing country stay on the outskirts of Waco. There’s lots of room for up to four guests to spread out with 860 sq ft of living space, which includes a full living and dining area, a large kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom. The large front porch offers a beautiful space to enjoy good coffee and good conversation amidst the melodies of wild songbirds.

The cottage has free high-speed Internet. Note: We do not provide TV.

NO PETS & NO CHILDREN UNDER 8:
The cottage is NOT suitable for pets nor for young children under 8 years old nor for infants.

MASTER BEDROOM - Queen Bed
Queen bed with comfy Sealy mattress, extra pillows and blankets

BEDROOM #2 - Single Bed
Single bed with comfy Sealy mattress, extra pillows and blankets

LIVING ROOM - Pull Out Queen Bed
Cozy recliner, loveseat and sofa with a surprisingly comfy pull-out queen bed (see our reviews — our guests agree that it’s a VERY comfortable pull-out sofa sleeper!).

Fully stocked with plates, drinking glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, a large microwave, four-burner stove, oven and fridge - everything you need to comfortably dine in!

COFFEE & TEA BAR:
A generous complimentary coffee and tea bar with all sorts of “fixin's” to rev your engine and brighten you day!

DINING AREA:
Round dining table with seating for four not only serves as a fun space for card games, Scrabble, Forty-Two, puzzles and board games, but also as a great laptop workspace. You will find a comfy office chair stored in the master bedroom closet should you need it.

FRONT PORCH:
We think the front porch has “the best seats in the house,” if you want to relax outside, catch a sunrise or sunset and listen to the songbirds.

LAUNDRY AMENITIES:
Large capacity washer and dryer with complimentary detergent, electric iron, ironing board

BATH AMENITIES:
Pulse massage shower head, wall cabinet with built in magnifying mirror, makeup remover towelettes, plush bath towels, an assortment of luxury soap, shampoo and hair conditioner.

Lovely spot for our family!
We really enjoyed our stay. It had the nicest coffee bar of anywhere I have stayed with Vrbo. It was a cold weekend, but otherwise I would have enjoyed the front porch! The owners gave us good ideas of local places to visit. I would stay here again!

Quiet cottage in Waco
The location was great. Quiet place outside of Waco hustle & bustle. Clean, comfy & hosts were very kind. The ony thing i would suggest is that they advertise the no TV in the description. Also, door code was the wrong number. Had to call the host. Other than that, it was very comfy.

For those with little outside interest
Not conducive to be outside in heat. View from cottage and porches limited with over grown bushes so not as pictured. Art in cottage nice. Clean and fresh remodel with good furnishings and decor. Air in cottage cool. No books or reading material except about Waco. We had a teenager with us so having no TV or board games to entertain was limiting. Host were nice folks. It is a duplex and housing close on both sides. Not a view as pictured. There was a very busy, narrow and loud road very close to the cottage. We liked being in the country and near Homestead Farms and Village which we were revisiting. The communication from the host was pushing the Homestead Farms, their connection?

I texted the owners 1-2 weeks prior to our stay asking a specific question about guests. I never received a response. Cell service at this property was limited at best. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi was not any better with limited to no service during our stay.

Songbird Haven was so relaxing and convenient
Arrived a little early but was no problem, just waited a bit outside. Garry And Shoshanna are very nice and warm host. They saw to any needs or questions we had. Easy to communicate with. We loved Homestead Cafe, only across the road within 2 miles from us. Great Food. The home is cozy and very comfy. We just stayed there 2 days and relaxed and sat on the porch. Clean and pretty.

Exceptionally clean, comfortable and away from congestion.
The cottage was exceptionally clean. The furniture was very comfortable - not the worn-out stuff we sometimes contend with. All pots, pans, dishes, silverware, soaps, coffees, spices, bathroom amenities, etc were furnished although, except for the coffee, we brought our own. The heater / a/c units worked flawlessly. We were very pleased with the unit.
