"Very clean, cute and inviting. The upstairs loft was difficult to use as the stairs are very steep. All in all Waco and the Shotgun House was great. "

Very clean, cute and inviting. The upstairs loft was difficult to use as the stairs are very steep. All in all Waco and the Shotgun House was great.

The Shotgun House was exactly how we pictured it! Having watched the "Fixer Upper" remodeling show several times, we were anxious to see if it was completed and decorated how it was shown on TV . . . and it was!Alex was a great communicator sending us all the needed entry codes before our arrival plus providing us with a very detailed guest guide. The guide gave us many recommendations of where to dine and what attractions to see.We will definitely stay again when visiting Waco!

We loved spending our girl’s trip at the Shotgun House. Loved the home- beds were comfy and hosts were responsive. In walking distance to the Magnolia Silos. Would stay again!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Cute and fairly efficient. The lock on the door didn't light when touched, so it took us more than 15 minutes to get inside when it finally lit the #s so we could see them. My son is 6'3" and slept upstairs. Getting up and down and around the stairs was awkward and more cumbersome than we anticipated. We were three adults and there were only two towels in the bathroom. I started the washer but have no idea if it actually began the cycle, the dashboard on the machine wasn't intuitive to me or my husband. The rug in the bedroom is a tripping hazzard. It's torn in many places and leaves holes that catch. We sorely missed having somewhere to put our bags and clothing. There are no hooks other than those by the front door for hanging clothes and there was no place to set our bags in the room other than the floor. We are in our 70s and stooping to search the bags on the floor isn't easy. Also, no place to put decorative pillows when the bed was turned down, except the floor, which begs the question is that where they are in each guests stay? Missed having a place by the bed to set my book and water tumbler. The block of wood hung by the bed is way to high to be efficient. The shades rattle at the baseboards and were a constant clicking during the night that kept us all waking. We used no dishes and left to eat, because our hanging clothes were draped over bar stools. So, cute and novel that it was on Fixer-Upper, but not practical or a place we would return to stay.
