Good to know

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest addition to our Poppy & Rye portfolio of cozy Texas escapes — right in the heart of Waco, home to Magnolia, Baylor University, and endless charm. Our Waco getaways are named for, and inspired by, our beloved Poppy — an Oklahoma cowman, a writer, farmer, college professor, and a mighty fine dancer. His spirit of warmth, wit, and storytelling lives on in each space, with many of his poems gracing the walls of our homes. This thoughtfully designed retreat blends comfort, style, and hospitality, creating a warm space to relax, recharge, and explore. Poppy & Rye has proudly maintained a 5-star rating since 2019, and ranks in the top 5% of homes on Airbnb — a reflection of our personal commitment to each and every guest experience. We’re not out-of-state investors; we live nearby, love Texas, and are hands-on hosts who care deeply about the details. Speaking of details — meet Rye, a proud Baylor grad (Sic ’em!), grandson of “Poppy” and skilled craftsman. Rye worked his way through college at Harp Design Co., Chip and Jo’s go-to woodworking shop, and discovered a passion for woodworking along the way. Many of the pieces in our homes are handcrafted by Rye himself, bringing warmth, story, and artistry to every space. Come stay with us and experience Waco the Poppy & Rye way.

Other Details to Note

Our little bungalow is about a block away from Waco Drive, so you may experience some ambient road noise. If you’re a sensitive noise person, we’ve got noise machines and ear plugs on hand.

Absolutely loved our stay! From the moment we arrived we felt at home. It was so cozy! We were greeted with lamp light, music, and the fireplace was on. We especially appreciated the covered parking because it was dark and pouring down rain upon our arrival. The host communicated well and gave great suggestions for our trip. I would not hesitate to stay again. Perfect Waco trip with my bestie!

The property was exactly as described and sparkling clean. It is comfortable and felt like home with all the amenities….coffee, tea, cold filtered water, creamer and so much more. Dana provided great local recommendations and it was close to everything in Waco. Magnolia. Restaurants, a nail salon. The check-in process was seamless and easy to get in and out of. I was traveling with my mom and it was very important that we felt safe and we sure did! Thank you for sharing your wonderful place/home with us. If I ever return to Waco, I will be staying here again!

This is a lovely home, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Dana thought of everything from the little conveniences to the major comforts to make her place feel like home away from home. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had all the amenities to make things convenient. I really enjoyed the fully stocked coffee station. No searching for filters and mugs. The coffee maker was ready to plug in and brew. The location is very convenient to everything and felt safe. The attention to the little details was appreciated, and communication was always quick and friendly. I could go on, but just know you won't be disappointed staying here. Highly recommend.

Dana has fixed this little house up so cute and comfortable. Everything we needed was there even without asking. The little back yard was perfect for morning reading. There was a local squirrel that came and greeted me the first morning. I would highly recommend this little house if you need a get away in Waco. It was centrally located to downtown and the campus areas.
