Historical Morrow House Season 5 Fixer Upper, Featured In Cottage Style Magazine
About this house rental
Our historical home was on the first episode of season 5 of Fixer Upper. When Mrs. Gaines toured the house as the second option they called it #TheRealFixerUpper! It was not a home ultimately designed by the Gaines's but we are honored to be a small part of the filming. The excitement for the home was captured best when Joanna Gaines said "I feel like a dog with a T-bone steak, I am like please give ME the T-bone steak!" Since its renovation in 2017 The Morrow House has been featured in Cottage Style Magazine, Modern Farmhouse Style Magazine and Modern Texas Living Magazine. The Morrow House is also featured in the new book titled "Historic Homes of Waco Texas". WE ARE IMPLEMENTING INCREASED EFFORTS TO PROTECT GUESTS DURING THE CORONA VIRUS.

A bit about the Rodriguez Family: Travel, and shared experiences have always been a central part of our family time. In today’s world the demands of career and activities can pull us in many directions, but getting out of town together or sharing unique experiences has always given us meaningful ways to connect and recharge. When we moved to Waco three years ago an extraordinary journey began for each of us. One of the unexpected blessings was that we had over 80 houseguests during the first year! Everyone wanted to visit and explore Waco and we were his or her guides. It was great for us to show Central Texas to our friends and family because it encouraged us to get out and explore in new ways, and gave us new opportunities to get to know our new home. Each of our guests has had different ideas of what they want to see and do when they visit; some want to drive in the country and shop old antique shops or see pastures full of cattle. Others want to watch a Baylor athletics event and eat at one of our great local restaurants. Some want to shop all weekend and others want to walk along the Brazos and see lightning bugs! However all of them leave here loving the people and the pace of life in Waco. After Amy and I met, I felt that the Morrow House was a part of our family journey here in Waco. The home’s beauty, history and resurrection story make it a beautiful haven for people to escape to. Our family, including my parents who moved here to join us two years ago, is thrilled to have an opportunity to share Waco with our guests from all corners of the world as we’ve been doing for the last three years.

My family and I just stayed at the Morrow house and we absolutely loved everything about it! We regularly stay in Vrbo's on our vacations and this was my favorite property yet!
The layout was perfect for our needs with the three spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms, the overall design and decor are stunning, you truly feel like you are staying in something out of a magazine (because you are!), it was also clean, well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the location is convenient to all the main Waco sites. Communication and the check in / out process were all also fantastic! Oh, and the amazing cookies, tea towel, and beds that felt like you were being hugged by a cloud were all an added bonus.
If I had to say any cons, the only thing I was a bit concerned about was the neighborhood when we first arrived. However, after being in Waco a few days we quickly learned that the city is still very much in a time of transition / revitalization and this was actually one of the better neighborhoods / locations.
All that said, if you are going to Waco, do yourself a favor and stay and the Morrow house, it is so worth it!

Nice house but not ideal for the money…..
Let’s do a list of positives and negatives and stick to the facts for those who may be interested in certain amenities:
Pros: 1.) Three bedrooms with a bathroom attached to each 2.) Large and updated kitchen 3.) Fairly close to downtown and Magnolia (driving distance 10 min. ) 3.) TV’s in 2 of 3 bedrooms with cable and updated showers/tubs 4.) Tea Towel as gift and cookies upon arrival
Cons: 1.) Neighbor’s dog (adjacent to property barked every night and when I contacted the property manager they said there hadn’t been a complaint (I find this impossible given the loud and consistent, close noise)). It was horrific the first 2 nights put in earplugs to try and sleep). I texted property manager at 11:00 pm on the first night as the dog was barking loudly and they said they would follow up with the neighbor but the property manager never got back to me. I was told “not to engage with the neighbor” even though in my text I stated “I would respectfully not engage with the neighbor”. The dog barked 6:00 pm to 9:00 am on and off, Every Night…..Fence is right beside back bedroom next to kitchen. 2.) Morning telecommmute traffic was loud as the road beside is busy which just added to the noise when trying to sleep. 3.) You can hear the train a few times a day and in the am 4.) Some doors aren’t flush and are therefore are open to some noise in the house 5.) high cleaning fee but they ask you to take out trash, run dishwasher and put towels in laundry room. 6.) some dirty areas like under the cupboards and fridge (visible), under sink— house needs to be deep cleaned considering the cost.
I would recommend this place for multiple families or multiple couples (not ideal for kids) but with taxes, fees and cleaning it is not ideal for a few people. It is nice, but not worth the cost.

This is the most well equipped property that we have ever stayed in! We did not have to bring soap, dishwashing detergent, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed plus more. The property is just beautiful! The pictures don’t do it justice. The beds are high quality and comfortable. The back patio area is dreamy. Communication with the owner was outstanding. We loved our time here! There were even fresh. baked cookies and a free tea towel waiting for us when we arrived. Classy!

We really enjoyed our stay in this charming house. We came for 4 days while preparing to drop our daughter at Baylor. The tea towel and cookies were a lovely touch. The house had everything we needed and the kitchen was well appointed. I loved the clean soft bedding. We will definitely be back.

Such a beautiful and warm home. The owners are awesome and have done such a fabulous job restoring this old home. It is beautiful, cozy and the perfect getaway. It is close to shopping and great food. Kimberlee was amazing and so great about communication. Thanks so much and we will absolutely return to your beautiful home!

The Morrow house is absolutely charming, clean, quiet and location is a short drive to most tourist destinations. Beautifully decorated, comfortable beds and we were greeted with fresh chocolate chip cookies when we arrived to the house. The house is stocked with a keurig and regular coffee pot and there were different types of coffee to choose from. House also has an alarm that’s very easy to use and we felt very safe at the house and it was very quiet at night. We had absolutely no issues during our stay and my only complaint is we didn’t stay longer to appreciate more of the house. I highly recommend staying here and this will definitely be my go to when staying in Waco.
