Good to know

This one of a kind 5 star stay has so many fun features to experience and has something for everyone!! For those who like to dabble in design, the space is often used by photographers due to the fun design features throughout the house. There is also an interactive mural on the outside wall that was done by an Austin artist who has been featured on TV numerous times. The mural looks like you are blowing the dandelion and making a wish. For those who like to cook, there is an expansive and well stocked kitchen which includes a wine fridge, an automatic water bottle filler, stove, fridge, microwave, Keurig, dishwasher and a backsplash that is hand painted and cut which was specifically designed for the house. For those who like to socialize and relax, there are amazing outdoor areas like a passthrough window which combines the outdoor space with the kitchen, an outdoor movie wall and projector to watch a flick under the stars, you can spend some time swinging in the swings to the music from the Backyard Bar and Grill, grilling a tasty meal on the grill shaped like a pig, roasting s’mores over the fire pit, eating a delicious meal at the spacious outdoor table that has an outdoor TV or sitting on the balcony staring at the beautiful Texas night sky with the Alico building and Silos in the background. For those who like pure luxury, there are 2 stylish master bathroom suites with top of the line mattresses and comfy sheets. Each bedroom has a full modern bathroom attached with beautiful double vanities and exquisite tiled walk in showers! There is also a queen pull out coach in the living room for 2 extra guests. If you are looking for a place to do some remote working, look no further! There is a built in desk area with speedy Wi-Fi and built in phone chargers throughout. There is also a washer/dryer combo to use during your stay. This house has so many special features that you have to come and see it for yourself!! It’s perfect for a romantic getaway, a friend’s outing or a family vacation! There is also so much to do in the city of Waco! In the summer months you can cool off by learning to surf, using the cable park to wakeboard, go down the water slides or float in the longest lazy river in Texas all at Waco Surf, play tee ball at Magnolia Silos, hike through Cameron Park, Kayak/paddle board down the river or get a Dr. Pepper float at the museum’s soda shop. During the cooler months you can try Axe Throwing, watch a Baylor Football Game, browse the stores at Magnolia, find some tasty retro candy at Hey Sugar, rent an electric scooter and zoom across the Waco Suspension Bridge, check out the chalk murals or try a pottery class at Black Oak Art. There’s something for everyone!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location couldn’t have been better, just a short walk to the Silos, which made it so convenient. My daughter and I loved the house and the neighborhood; it was truly the perfect Waco getaway. Bethany was wonderful to work with…friendly, responsive, and made check-in super easy. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Waco!

I cannot say enough great things about this amazing house and host! Perfect location and made for a perfect place before racing Ironman 70.3 Waco. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to enjoy the fire pit when it’s cooler.

Great property, second time we have stayed and super close to the silos and downtown. Bethany is an excellent host and a very good and responsive communicator. Looking forward to our third trip to the house.

Loved staying at the Wishing House. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Waco. So nice at night on the weekend to hear the live music outside. Everything was perfectly set up in the house. We felt right at home and well taken care of. We would love to come and stay again.

We loved the house and the location, the atmosphere was inviting and cozy. Lots of spots to hang out around the house, all was in place and had everything we needed. The house is pristine clean, with a lot of amenities that made my family feel right at home. The area has cool places to walk to, to shop and to eat. Our host was responsive and accommodating. Will stay here in the future for sure!
