Beautiful outdoor appeal and lovely decor inside. Various kitchen appliances to not only cook but entertain. There was only two towels, so unless you want to use the washer/dryer for towels, bring extra. The stairs to the loft are extremely steep and high, I could not take my eyes off my 3 year old. My kids however enjoyed the backyard. And we loved the walking distance to the silos. It was also very close to Baylor and restaurants. Overall, beautiful home.

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.

Great location!

There is so much to love about this property! The location is 5 minutes walking or driving from all that Magnolia Market has to offer. Including Magnolia Table, less than a 5 minute drive. It is also convenient to I35 and Highway 6. The house itself is adorable. For a weekend or even longer stay it's perfect. If you have any issues with heights, stairs or ladders, you'll want to stay downstairs. But the house made fabulous use of the space available. Kids would probably love climbing up to their own room! We didn't use any of the appliances but they are all updated and look great.
