Baylor 50th Reunion
Three lifelong friends who met at Baylor when freshmen in 1970 came together for our 50th reunion. The Haven provided us a very comfortable place to gather to celebrate and reminisce. The location in the Woodway area was convenient to many major roads in & out of Waco. Plenty of restaurants were nearby to make it easy to plan dinners. The neighborhood was quiet and the house simply & pleasantly appointed. The perfect spot for our reunion group!

Great stay to enjoy Silobration
Lori’s a very generous hostess. Her Haven home is very comfortable and decorated adorably. She stocked the kitchen with waters, snacks and breakfast. She was easy to reach before and after our stay. I would highly recommend staying here and we would return for sure.

Super comfort
We came to Waco to watch our son compete in the iron man. We visited Magnolia market and saw some of downtown Waco. Would have enjoyed more time here as it is a very cute location. The neighborhood was quiet and my son and I biked around it. The house had everything plus. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed all the extras provided. I would definitely stay here again.

Charming House
Lori was such a wonderful communicator. She made check-in and check-out a breeze! The house was decorated like a charming cottage. There was a fresh peach cobbler and ice cream as well as some other treats. Overall this is a wonderful place to stay in Waco! Not far of a drive to the silos and other attractions! If we visit Waco again this is where we will be staying!

This property was very clean, very well-stocked, and the A/C was ice cold. It is in a nice, quiet neighborhood near plenty of restaurants. The owner left us a peach cobbler (YUM). We loved it!

5 Stars all the way!!!
Wow! I read the reviews and decided to book this home for our 2 night stay in Waco and am I glad I did. First I had to ask Lori to change my arrival date because I was over zealous in how quickly we would arrive from New Mexico and she was able to do that. Then we arrived and could not open the key lock box so she immediately showed up to help- only to find we were at the wrong house (thankfully it was also one of her homes next door). She was so sweet and I felt like we could become instant friends. Entered the home to a homemade peach cobbler and ice cream. I have stayed at many vacation rentals and never have I been welcomed like that. (We took the remainder of the cobbler and ice cream on our travels and my husband could not stop raving about it). Now about the home.., sooooo cute. Well decorated. And very comfortable. All the amenities of home. Sometimes vacation homes barely have enough paper goods to get you through your visit- this isn’t one of those homes. She provided laundry soap and shampoo/conditioner, hand soap.. all of the things you might need. When we return to Waco, we will most definitely try to book one of her homes. Oh yeah- the neighborhood was so clean and peaceful. There are no sidewalks but the streets were quiet so we were able to walk with our little dog every day. 5 star stay!!!

A perfect graduation weekend
We were so fortunate to happen upon this listing when our daughter was a freshman and it has been our number 1 choice ever since. Lori is such a gracious host. She makes sure that every thing is perfect down to the last detail. There was no question as to where we wanted to spend our daughter’s gradation weekend. We had family fly in from out of state and I kept hearing over and over what an amazing home it was. Lori truly thinks of everything needed to make your stay the absolute best. I can’t recommend this host and home enough. It is the perfect retreat to relax and catch up with family and friends.

Perfect location for college roommate mini-reunion
My 3 former college roommates and I converged on Waco for a mini-reunion last weekend. The Haven@Chapel RIdge was the perfect location for us to catch up. We found everything we needed in this charming cottage and had plenty of space for the 4 of us. The owner was attentive to questions we had and we appreciated all the little details she took care of to make sure we were comfortable, including snacks! I would highly recommend The Haven for a small group of friends or a small family. We just might have to meet again at The Haven next year!
