Forest Cottage: Pet-Friendly Shaker-Inspired Retreat | Cottage in Waco, TX
1 Bedroom Cottage with Bedding, Fireplace and Internet
The Forest Cottage is designed for couples. It works for singles who want some quiet and privacy, too. If you're a couple who loves each other, we think you're going to love it here. If you're a single and are looking for a safe, quiet place, ditto.
In addition to our normal cleaning, we make sure every surface that is normally touched (handles, table tops, etc.) has a sanitizer applied according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Please SAVE us for future reference.
THE SPACE
The Bed
It's big. The cottage is small but the bed is as big as they get (king). And it's comfortable. And clean.
The Shower
It's probably bigger than the one you have at home and it never runs out of hot water. If you need "wake-up-therapy," you'll love it.
Privacy
It's tucked away in the forest so no one sees you even if you're out on your deck.
Coffee
Meaning coffee or tea or hot chocolate. We believe there's something about sitting down with a hot beverage that connects and we believe we need closer connections.
Food
Microwave, fridge, a two-slice toaster, a single cup coffee maker with a variety of coffees and teas, dishes and a separate sink. Feeling outdoorsy? Remember the gas grill on the deck.
The Window
Magnolia? You'll come home tired. This cottage is ready to pamper you and help you get ready for another day at it tomorrow. Your view is out an 8' window overlooking the forest. 2-night minimum.
The Deck
Bring some steaks or chicken and sides if you like to grill out. Your deck is private and is lit until 9:30 each night.
The Kitchen
It's actually what I would call a "kitchenette." You have a microwave, a two-slice toaster, a single cup coffee maker with a variety of coffees and teas, dishes and a separate sink. If you really want to cook, remember the gas grill on the deck.
Alexa
Your cottage comes with "Alexa" with just about every genre of music you can think of through Amazon's music library. So, whatever your mood, dial in the music of your choice.
Water Heater
The water heater is a tankless (never-ending) style so, if you're the type who likes to take (l o n g) showers, you will be in Heaven.
WiFi
We have WiFi that varies from blazing fast to not so great. I've been told we don't have control of that.
No TV
We do have a projector that uses a screen that is as wide as the window (8') that you have access to with an HDMI port. Fire Stick, Apple+ ROKU . . . but no TV.
The Gate
You'll be on our land in rural Waco. There's a gate to get in that is almost never closed. If we do feel the need to close it (never have), we'll make sure you have its code. Most of our neighbors are part of Homestead Heritage. Once you get to know them, you'll see they are a pretty wonderful group.
Attractions
You will be close to Magnolia and Baylor (about 13 minutes) and everything else downtown Waco has to offer. For a slower pace, you're about 2 minutes away from Homestead Heritage and their number-one-rated restaurant, Cafe Homestead. They now serve breakfast Monday through Saturday. Don't just eat though. There is a lot to see and do so allow some time to walk around. Their newest shop is the Basket shop where you can see beautiful baskets or sign up to make one yourself.
Chicken Tractors
The photos attempt to show you the house and the deck. We have some chickens in movable cages (called "chicken tractors") located in between the rows of blackberries.
Doug and Donna
We hope we can meet you before you leave. We always like to hear what you did and what you liked. You probably won't see us unless we happen to cross paths in the parking area or if you need something we can help with. You'll have my cell number when you get here. Please use it if you need anything.
