We hosted a small graduation dinner for family and ever raved about how beautiful the home was. Charmaine was extremely flexible and accommodating which saved me a lot of stress on graduation day. I would recommend this home and property manager to anybody that visits Waco

We were in Waco for my daughter’s graduation from Baylor. The house worked great for our extended family!

The home is unique and spacious. It has all you need for an extended stay and rooms for everyone. The neighborhood has had a downturn but we had no problems at all. We enjoyed evenings watching passersby from the porch. We would stay again for sure.

Love the main floor space. Open and very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Bedrooms were comfortable. While the tub/shower are indicative of the style/age of home. The showers were uncomfortable to use and small.

We had a two night stay for my daughters bachelorette ladies. The house is absolutely beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay. It was great to be able to see the renovation recap of this beautiful property. The host was absolutely amazing, very thorough and responsive. The neighborhood was also pleasant and quite. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Please do not make the mistake we made. We rented this house a week ago (mid July) for my family to celebrate my husband’s 80th birthday. Many weeks of planning went into this weekend.We rented this house so all my family could be together (since we live in different cities). The description says 5 bedrooms (sleeps 12). The third floor bedroom had no air conditioner (the window unit was broken). The four bedrooms on the second floor were 84 degrees by the first evening. The air conditioner worker came out to check out the units and said the units are not adequate to cool the house when we have 100+ degree days. The owner offered, late in the evening to move us to two houses. The whole point was to be together. Four adults slept on a blow up mattress and couch on the first floor. Our Granddaughter and her family couldn’t stay because it was too hot for the baby. We only stayed one night. The owner gave a partial refund for the second night, but that does not make up for the time we lost celebrating this milestone. I would not recommend renting this house in the hot summer months. Nice place except for the air conditioning, that is why I gave it a 3 rating.

After years of worldwide VRBO rentals, we are forced to leave our first negative review. The home was clean and the living areas were nice, unfortunately the bathrooms and bedrooms were in need of significant work and the neighborhood is simply unsafe. We left after one night due to the gang-like activity well into the night. This is a hard pass.

We had a great time staying at the Gorman Gorman house! It was beautiful and gave us tons of room so for our girls trip we could spend time together and all have our own space. Our favorite thing that we did was to watch the episode of Fixer Upper while we were staying at the house. It was fun to watch the transformation while we were sitting in the finished project! Charmaine was an excellent host and was very friendly and helpful. We loved our stay!!! Thank you!

Once inside all was amazing. The neighborhood was pretty loud at night.
Charmaine could not have been any better!

The house was beautiful, so close to downtown Waco and clean!! We all enjoyed our “Fixer Upper” experiences. The owner was so friendly and answered calls and text when communicating with us, she even had bottled water, snacks and some food items for cooking in the pantry, and coffee. The washer and dryer was very nice to have as well. Overall, it was a great homey place to stay!

We had an amazing time! Mom friends know how to go with the flow.
Our host was on top of things when a brief disaster struck. Excellent communication. Even though my Vrbo site was taking forever to load.
A few points to ponder, the showers are small, with a rather invasive curtains. It takes a few times to figure out how to keep the curtain in check.
The neighborhood is noisy, with roosters, dogs fast cars and parties. Earplugs work great!
Perfect setting for visiting the Silos, spice village, etc

This property was perfect for a group of adults getting to know each other for immersion at Baylor. Lots of bathrooms and charm. The kitchen was perfect for gathering around and talking.

We had a good time in Waco. The house is very nice and we had difficulty getting around the house because of the stairs and high sided bathtubs. Downstairs is a great entertaining space, and the kitchen is great. The parking is a little challenging if the house in the back is rented, but manageable. The host could not have been nicer, and urged me to write this review, even though it wasn’t a perfect home for us! It had cool features and then difficult features, I.e. third floor stairs were very steep and not for a group like us (60’s). Very clean and very easy to control the temperature in the house (multiple thermostats).

So excited to find this property listed. Five bedrooms and five baths allowed each couple their own space and bathroom. The open concept on the main floor allowed for family to still be together, while still doing their own thing.
The renovated older house was beautifully done. Loved the wrap around porch.
The booking process was easy and great communication with the owner. Highly recommend this location

Truly wonderful home, everything as expected, what a privilege to stay in one of the original homes in Waco, owners are great and very responsive.

Very clean, very well stocked with everything from coffee to toilet paper. Beautiful spacious gathering place. Stairs a little difficult for people with knee problems. Wish there were mirrors in all the bathrooms and shower handles working over the tubs. Everything else was wonderful. Even heard roosters crowing in the mornings around the neighborhood! It was a wonderful experience overall.

I rented this lovely home to host my parents and my sister and nieces who came to town to see my daughter perform in a show at Baylor. This home was perfect for gathering together, relaxing and enjoying our time together. There was plenty of space to spread out and everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. We watched the Fixer Upper episode that featured the home and that made it especially fun to stay there. The home had everything we needed and Charmaine was a joy to communicate with, always lightning fast responses and you could tell she really wanted us to enjoy our time together. Thank you for providing us the perfect home for a multi-generational gathering!

Such a Beautiful Home & Wonderful Experience!
Charmaine gave us—from beginning to end—a wonderful environment in which to enjoy some special family time! She’d thought through every detail, communicated clearly and consistently, and did everything she could to ensure we had a great experience…and we did! Thanks, Charmaine!

What an incredible experience from start to finish! Started with great communication from the host & ended with making memories that will last a lifetime! This property gave us the ability to have a home away from home in Waco to host an intimate & memorable gathering to celebrate our daughter’s graduation from Baylor. The spacious yard & front porch made the yard games a tremendous hit. And the inside setup was perfect for serving a catered meal to our guests. Highly recommend this host!

Property and accommodations were very good for our gathering. Neighborhood was a little sketchy. We had no problems but not knowing the area security was a little bit of a concern.

While the house may of been renovated on Fixer Upper, it’s in need of another make over. Kitchen & dining room are great, rest of house not so much…Killed at least a dozen moths in the attic bedroom during our stay. TV in attic had no sound. Made due during our 2 day stay. Alarm system (supposedly unarmed) went off not once but twice resulting in a visit from the local Police. Thankful that it was at 6:00 pm vs 2:00 am.
