Perfect location for a Waco vacation!

We were in town for a Big 10 track meet at Baylor. The Farm was the perfect place to stay! It was an easy 15 min drive to the university, as well as any amenities we wanted or needed. However, when we were “home” we felt like we were miles from the big city. It was peaceful and beautiful. The house had everything we needed, was very clean, and comfortable. We spent quite a bit of time outside where we enjoyed the fire pit, cattle and large beautiful trees. We are planning to stay here again next time we are in the area and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Oh so peaceful!

The Brickyard House is easily one of our favorite VRBO rentals! When my husband and I decided to visit the West and Waco areas for a nice relaxing weekend to celebrate his birthday, we looked for a cozy cottage in a secluded area. The Brickyard House met all of our needs. It's literally surrounded by peaceful pastures and is located along a very quiet country road. The home was perfectly spotless, well-maintained and supplied with everything we needed and more. But being secluded didn't mean out of touch! Restaurants in West were less than a 10 minute drive. We enjoyed the Tipsy Lion. Everything in Waco was only about a half-hour away. We highly recommend George's Restaurant there! At night there were so many stars! And the king-sized bed was very comfortable. We both slept like babes. Even though we never needed anything, our host Clyde kept in touch and shared information about his lovely home and things to look for in the area. We will definitely look to stay there again in the future.

Hotels no more

This will be the first place I look for availability anytime I stay in Waco. If it isn't available, I would seriously consider rescheduling my trip to when I can stay here. It was very easy to get to. Close enough to the freeway for ease of access, but far enough away that I couldn't hear the traffic when trying to sleep. The house was clean, comfortable, welcoming, cute, and I truly felt safe during my stay. The host, Clyde, was very attentive, easy to reach and I truly felt like he was available to help me with absolutely anything I would have needed. I would like to suggest getting 1 or 2 chairs to sit on outside. While the weather was cold (for Waco) during my stay, being from the north I enjoyed it and would have liked another place to sit than the picnic table. If there were chairs and I missed them, my apologies. All around, a great place to stay. I am going to suggest it to everyone I know looking for a place to bed down for a night or longer when in the Waco area. Thank you for offering this piece of your family to me. I enjoyed every minute spent on the property.

Best VRBO ever

This was by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at. The discrimination of this property is spot on in fact I believe it’s so much more. The communication was wonderful with the owner. From the moment you arrive it is clear to see this is a very cared and loved property. This isn’t a modge podge thrown together place. Nice appliances, furniture, linens, and dishes. Lastly COWS they are simply amazing and lovable I couldn’t wait to get up and see them in the morning and we came from Wisconsin where we can see cows all over something just hit differently here. Birds galore as well. The location was super quiet as well. I can not wait to come here again. I enjoyed it so much I wish I could have left them a thank you gift because our vacation was so perfect because of this place.

Great location if you are looking for distance from Waco, but close enough to drive (or uber) in for the day (20 mins out). Clyde was fantastic at communicating and the house is spotless clean with cold water in the fridge waiting for your arrival. Beautiful and thoughtful updates! Highly recommend!

A Perfect Stay

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was just as described in the listing, if not better. The home was spotless, well-maintained, and had all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. It’s clear the host takes pride in the property, and it really made a difference in the overall experience. Communication with the host was a breeze. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and eager to assist with any questions I had before and during my stay. I really appreciated the clear instructions for check-in. The location was perfect for my needs, and the surroundings were peaceful and relaxing. Overall, I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed vacation rental.

Ty so very much for sharing your family home with others! We haven’t been “staying” here, we have been “living” here the last couple of days. It takes me “home” to the farm life in my soul and you are a wonderful attentive host. You and your family did an amazing job on the remodel. And I love that you kept it personal with some of your family belongings and with the photograph of your dad, the painting from your mother and I’m sure she played this piano beautifully. We will definitely be coming back …. Soon!

Graduation Weekend

My family and I enjoyed our stay this past weekend. We were in the area for our daughter's graduation from Baylor. The house was immaculate, the kitchen was nicely outfitted with everything you might need. It is definitely one of the nicest properties we have stayed at. It was a very relaxing setting. We made breakfast each morning and also grilled one evening making use of the gas grill. We fed the cows while dinner was cooking. We did also see a roadrunner. The host's communication was excellent and he was very responsive to our questions and requests. If we are ever in the Waco area again, we will definitely stay at this location.

Peaceful and Quiet Nest

This property provided my husband and I a quiet, laid back interlude during our travels through the southwest. It was warm and welcoming and provided the perfect escape from all the hustle and bustle of the cities we had visited. It had all the amenities we needed with just a short drive to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The single dwelling home is an updated and fully renovated farmhouse on a quiet paved road within 15 minutes of Waco. Though we never met the owner, Clyde, in person, he promptly responded to our texts and was very accommodating. We would highly recommend this property.

This is the perfect spot to get away from city for a short, quick stay. We rented this house for a night while we attended a Baylor game. The house is inviting, charming and very down on the farm feeling. It’s quiet but still quick access to the highway for easy travel. Clyde is incredibly prompt with communication and even offers food to feed the farm animals. We would definitely rebook here!
