Clean, spacious & close to Magnolia
We came to visit Magnolia with other family. We loved having so many bedrooms & baths. The rental company was very responsive. Only negative is the busy traffic behind the home. Bring earplugs & white noise. Beds are comfortable… we slept really well! We had a Wonderful time in Waco!!
