German Schmear house

Our place is Centrally Located in Waco. You are close to a Target, a Starbucks and HEB...not far from Baylor and Magnolia. The house is tucked away on a peaceful, quiet street. The layout of our house provides a big open living space that is great for families (with kids) and big groups. If you love to cook, our kitchen is a great space to host.

Come stay in our Newly Renovated German Schmear house. 1970s Ranch-style turned European Eclectic. Plenty of room with a great open floor plan. Natural light throughout. We are located around 10-15 Minutes from downtown, Magnolia Silos, Baylor & McLane Stadium.

German Schmerer
The property itself was clean and pleasant but there were some caviates which you should know about. First the back of the house has a converted garage which was renamed the cottage. The address is difficult to see so we had individuals attempting to get in our house and were Shining flashlights on the house and waking up our guests. People thought someone was breaking in and it was unsettling. Second neighbors played music till late in the night EXTREMELY loud which disallowed sleep. Finally the place needs bug control. Many cockroaches

Perfect for a visit to Magnolia Market
We had a short trip to The Silos, Magnolia Market and Magnolia Table . The house is very close to all theses and Baylor University as well. The house is beautiful, comfortable and well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of towels, fans for each bedroom and kitchen supplies. The check out procedure was simple. We would definitely stay here again.

Weekend celebration!
We came to Waco to celebrate our daughter’s wedding. It was the perfect place to rest after each event We had plenty of room for five adults To spread out yet, be close together. My husband and I grew up in Waco and I actually grew up right down the street from where we stayed so it was so nice to reminisce and enjoy the neighborhood again so close to everything we needed: shopping restaurants, and all the activities we had a great day thanks for sharing your home

Excellent experience
What a treat staying in one of the homes Chip and Joanna renovated. The first floor certainly had the Gaine’s stamp on it. The second floor was fine but nothing compared to the first floor. Highly recommend if you are a Fixer Upper fan.

Fixer Upper Disappointment
If the property owners want to rely on the Fixer Upper connection, they need to make every effort to insure that expectations around a quality experience are met. The first floor main living area is nicely decorated per “Fixer Upper” expectations. Second floor with 3 bedrooms and all bathrooms are original except for paint. Overall, the house is looking a little tired. The cleaning crew clearly needs supervision and/ or inspection. The tile floors on first floor needed a good scrubbing only because walking barefoot (one night) in the house resulted in dirty feet. There was a fishy smell in the kitchen that required flushing the garbage disposal with hot water and soap. No paper towels were provided in the kitchen nor K-cups for the Keurig coffee maker. No instructions were provided on how to use the TV (when to use the cable remote vs the Roku remote). No password provided for Netflix use. We were instructed that under no circumstances should we park on the street, yet there was a vehicle parked in front of the house the entire time we were there. We learned after the fact that the vehicle belonged to the VRBO renters that occupied the adjacent guest cottage. We should have been informed that there were other people at the property. I made this reservation on behalf of friends and it is embarrassing to have to apologize to them for a multitude of small and easily-solvable issues.

Extremely clean. We used 3 of the beds and all were reported to be very comfortable. Sheets were sooo soft. Communication with owners was spot on. Stay here, if you want, because of the Fixer Upper connection. More so stay here because it is clean and a very comfortable home!
