LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! A warm welcome awaits you at the cute house with the bright door and signature chevron wall. Poppy & Rye House is a cozy retreat nestled in the heart of the Silo District... private and relaxing, yet right in the middle of Waco's biggest attractions. We've been recognized by HGTV's top designers, featured as a top Airbnb by Levi Kelly, and frequently selected for photo shoots by leading retailers. WE ARE OFFICIALLY LICENSED WITH THE CITY OF WACO: #STR000353-04-2020

Good to know

Bright, light and airy with pops of poppy red and handcrafted pieces, it's the best of the old with the luxury of the new. The interior was thoughtfully designed by Dana with original shiplap, bead board, and hardwoods that are beautifully blended with all new modern decor. Rye -- a Harp Design Co-trained craftsman -- has crafted one-of-a-kind pieces throughout the home. We have 3 bedrooms with 3 FULL bathrooms (a rare find!). Two bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms for ultimate privacy. We're located in the heart of downtown Waco, a short walk to the Silos, on the next block over. Relax with friends and family on not one, but two, of our large porches (front & back!), or enjoy the private fire pit area in the backyard. 5 Reasons You'll Love Poppy & Rye House 1. Take the short walk to Magnolia (next block over) 2. Settle in to our cozy Adirondack chairs around the fire pit in our backyard 3. Grab a morning cup of coffee at Magnolia Press (just around the corner) 4. Listen to live music at Backyard (check their calendar to see who’s playing!) 5. We're LOCAL. No 3rd party managers for us. You'll have direct access to the owners! (If this property is unavailable, be sure to check our other Airbnb just down the street -- Poppy & Rye Cottage.)

Other Details to Note

The front bedroom has two (2) twin beds with slide out trundles for four (4) total beds if needed. (Handy for kids / extra guests.) We're within earshot of the Backyard venue which has live music from leading musicians / bands on Thurs, Fri and Saturday nights. You can sit around the firepit in our backyard and enjoy your own "private concert". A plus for most! BUT, if you're the turn-in-early type, we have ear plugs and noise machines on hand to block out the music completely. Check Backyard's concert calendar to see who's playing while you're in town — just a short walk around the corner.

This spacious house has everything you need for a great stay! Dana and Rye did not miss a thing. The house is beautiful and so relaxing! We spent a lot of time on the front porch and in the backyard. Perfect location in Waco! You can park your car and walk to great restaurants, shops, a bakery, and museum. The grocery store is a short drive, and the kitchen is fully stocked to whip up a meal. We’ve stayed at Dana and Rye’s other house, and we will definitely rent either one on future trips to Waco. We love Dana and Rye’s houses. Feels like home!

We absolutely loved the Poppy and Rye house! The location is fantastic, and there are clear instructions for literally everything. Dana went above and beyond to bring my groceries inside when they were delivered and my flight was delayed! Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing time! The house was close to all the downtown attractions and you could walk pretty much everywhere. The inside of the house could not have been more perfect. Extremely comfortable for our crew and all the finishes were great. Would definitely come back and highly recommend staying while in Waco!

Beautiful kept arbnb! Clean and the extra touches I.e. welcome was nice. The extra goodies in the master bath was unexpected and the touch of the white robes was very love! Band was going to play our last night and Dana called to inform us so we would not be alarmed from the noise of a rap band. Dana gave us options, in case we didn’t want to stay that night with the noise.She is caring and kind! Such a blessing to stay there!

I don't even know where to start but I think this is our favorite Airbnb to date! An absolutely perfect stay! The design of the home is stunning with thoughtful attention to every detail. It was clearly renovated with care and love. The home is incredibly comfortable and cozy, and we loved reading about the history of the house and its transformation. The location couldn’t be better; it's just steps from the Silos and everything we wanted to explore. We'll be back. 😊

We loved our stay at Poppy & Rye! Will definitely come back again because the house felt like home to us! Thank you so much Dana for providing a beautiful home for us while visiting Waco!

My friends and I were celebrating our birthdays and were in desperate need of a getaway. Dana sent us messages that helped our excitement build. The house and many thoughtful extras exceeded our expectations and we can’t wait to come back. When I say Dana anticipated our every need, that’s an understatement. There are way too many extras to list. Every time we opened a door, drawer, or cupboard, we found another delightful surprise. I wish she had a unit in Washington, closer to our homes. I cannot recommend this rental enough!

We had a great time staying here! The place was so cute and super comfy and clean. Dana was so communicative and flexible with our check in which we really appreciated. We loved being able to walk to Magnolia and downtown so once we arrived we didn’t have to drive anywhere we wanted to go. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Waco!

Our stay at Poppy & Rye was Five Stars and More! Even better than expected! Best Airbnb we have stayed in. It was so cozy & had so much Waco Character. Easy check in, walkable to everything we wanted to do & see & more, the BEST & most comfortable beds, beautiful decor, so many personal treats & elements, from the moment we walked in, until we checked out, Beautiful backyard (loved listening to the music from “The Backyard Bar Stage & Grill”) & cutest front porch & swing. We were blessed to stay there & can’t wait to be back one day! So fun watching the YouTube videos of the history of this home. We loved being in our very own “fixer upper.” Magical stay! Thank you for blessing us with your beautiful home. ❤️❤️

Wonderful ABnb in the heart of Waco! Great location and the home is beautiful. Used for a wedding party and it was just perfect. Really enjoyed the hospitality—I personally met Riley and what a fine young man. Highly recommended for future stays! Thank you.
