About this property

Charming Home minutes from Cameron Zoo, Park, Lake Waco, Magnolia's & More

With its comprehensive remodel with an artisan’s approach and sensational location, this charming, Dean Highland area gem is definitely worth experiencing. Our desire is to bring families and friends together for great memories. Lovely refinished, original hardwood floors, updated cabinetry, real cedar closets, a metal roof, well crafted fencing, new sheetrock, new windows and a host of other updates balance the project which was focused on blending old with new, preserving much of what was in that era and enhancing what no longer worked in a modern home. In the end, this three bedroom, two bathroom home spread across an estimated 1,450 square feet presents an appealing aesthetic, both inside and out. Large gardens, producing pecans, and ample sunlight, inside and out, round out what might be one of the most delightful, intriguing homes for your stay in the Waco area. Enjoy the large private backyard, mature pecan trees, swings and outdoor seating. A relaxing get-a-way. Each room is uniquely & professionally furnished with special touches to provide guests with comfort and relaxation after spending a perfect day in Waco. Convenient and close proximity to Waco's Major Attractions such us Cameron Zoo, Cameron Park, Magnolia Market at the Silo's, Waco Riverwalk, Baylor University, McLane Stadium, Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, Lake Waco, Hawaiian Falls, Waco Surf, Wine Tours etc. Great place to share with your family & friends. Also, within minutes to great food on the Brazos River and Local Eateries and Cafe's.

Waco gem
Fabulous two night stay at this lovely home. It was well located for everything we wanted to do. The home was a beautiful blend of decor that fit the home’s era with modern conveniences and comforts. Incredible attention to detail with thoughtful touches abounding. The oversized backyard was a delight. A few minutes on the swing hung on a giant tree branch and I was truly “on vacation!” We had 3 adults and a small dog - but it could easily fit a few more. Highly recommend!

Welcoming Atmosphere
This property was welcoming and felt a home away from home. It was clean and having a kitchen helped with planning meals. I would come back and recommend to others.

Sweet little home!
We were in Waco to visit family for the weekend and chose the place largely in part due to proximity to family and the back yard. Our kids (3, 2, 4 months) LOVED the backyard. The weather was nice so they played in the treehouse and on the swing every day we were there. The house was charming and perfect for our family. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. They thought of all the details. The home was even decorated for Christmas and so cute! We especially appreciated the Nespresso machine each morning! Thank you for a wonderful experience and look forward to staying here again next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Dan & Cynthia Borsellino

Host profile image
Over our 40 years of marriage we have frequently opened our home for others to have a safe haven and rest which has expanded our long term relationships. We love building and supporting our local communities. Our vision is to provide business travelers and people on vacation with a meaningful alternative to a hotel experience.

Why they chose this property

Upon first glance of this property we were immediately attracted to the craftmanship and charming appeal. We were looking for a place where we could bring our grandchildren to enjoy Cameron Zoo and the Park along with boating on Lake Waco. Our desire was to invite others to experience Waco as well with their family and friends. We were also wanting to have a place for small retreats which we have facilitated before. We have named the home Debbie's Place after a dear and close friend of ours who passed away from her battle with cancer. Debbie and her husband Peter have been long term friends and have served with us in our communities. Debbie was able to attend a retreat that we organized back in 2021 before her passing. Our hope is to carry on the vision that we shared together in bringing rest and relaxation for everyone who stays in our homes.

What makes this property unique

Quiet neighborhood, charming home that has been updated and a little history with spacious rooms, great outdoor setting for relaxation.
