Good to know

OFFICIALLY LICENSED AS A SHORT TERM RENTAL WITH THE CITY OF WACO: License # STR000060-01-2025 You've never seen a place quite like Poppy & Rye Cottage -- the spunky little sister to Poppy & Rye House -- our other popular, highly-rated Airbnb in Waco. Brought to you by mom-and-son superhosts, Rye & Dana Gage, the Cottage is fun and fresh, with a crisp black & white backdrop blended with warm wood tones and accents of bright poppy red. Unique handcrafted pieces, created by Rye (owner and Harp Design Co-trained woodworker), are featured throughout. The Cottage is a two minute walk to Magnolia, The Findery, The Backyard — and a quick drive (or leisurely walk) to Baylor, the Brazos riverfront and Austin Avenue. Shop 'til you drop, then come home and cozy up around the firepit, fire up the grill, enjoy a glass of Poppy wine, stargaze in the hammock, gather for a meal on the patio, or play some ping pong on our handcrafted table! Poppy & Rye Cottage is the perfect little place to tuck away for your Waco getaway.

Other Details to Note

- Hot tubs are wonderful, but water is water. So use caution, especially with kids. 1) NEVER leave the hot tub lid off when not in use. 2) ALWAYS stay within arms reach of your kids. 3) BE CAREFUL if drinking — hot water and alcohol are NOT great dance partners. - Potential for noise from live music on Friday & Saturday nights from an outdoor venue, The Backyard, a block over. - Are the dates you're looking for unavailable? Check our other Airbnb just down the street, Poppy & Rye House (sleeps 6). Or check our cozy new spot — Poppy & Rye Bungalow (sleeps 4), just two miles away.

Guest Access

Full access to the house, patio and private fenced backyard. There's also an optional backyard parking area for more vehicle privacy. Check yourself in with Schlage Smartlock keypad and one-touch lock as you leave each time. (No keys to keep track of!)

We had a great stay here! The space is small but very cozy and felt like home right away. We really appreciated the updates throughout the house. Everything felt modern and thoughtfully designed with purpose. The home had everything we needed, and the host was very responsive and even accommodated an early check-in for us, which we really appreciated. The spa/jacuzzi was very clean, and the checkout process was simple and hassle-free. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in Waco!

We loved our stay! We loved their attention to many small and large details in creating a super cute, comfortable place to stay. They anticipated our needs and were excellent hosts. The location was great for touring Waco and was a wonderful place for our girls getaway. Thank you Dana and Rye!

This by far has been the best bnb stay for us!! You really did think of everything. Super clean, walking distance to just about everything we had planned, super cute backyard, and we truly felt at home. Can’t wait to come back and stay again ❤️

Dana was the best host! Gave us all the instructions to the home and recommendations for local eateries, groceries and things to do prior to our stay without me even asking! The cottage was magnificent! Such a beautiful little home with everything you need and it was the perfect size for 4 of girls! The amenities are amazing from the comfortable bedding to the hot tub and cozy outdoor space! Dana also makes you feel at home by providing emergency essentials and even gave us some snacks, treats, and champagne to welcome us - she really thought about it all! Would highly recommend this property and any property that Dana hosts!

Could not ask for a more perfect stay! It was the most adorable cottage with so much attention given to the little details to make you comfortable throughout your stay! My husband and I treasured our evening talks in the hot tub and by the fire to reconnect after a day of exploring. We definitely hope to stay again!

This airbnb was perfect! Host thought of every detail and was very friendly and responsive. Being able to walk so easy to the Silos was truly the selling point. I will definitely be coming back and staying here again! I cannot recommend it enough!

Perfect little cottage for family of 4 to sleep comfortably, or a girls trip. Or a couple….with room to spread out. So many thoughtful touches for travelers. We’ve Airbnb’d a lot….my favorite stay!!!
