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.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

What makes our neighborhood special? So many things! The music! The shopping! But most of all, the LOCATION. You're literally steps away from Waco's main attractions. Like many downtown neighborhoods, ours is diverse and rapidly changing as more features and attractions come to Waco.

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!)

I am an avid traveler and stay all over the world. This property was so beautifully maintained and had wonderful extra amenities that were so nicely available. I will stay here every time when Waco is on my business trip path. You will not be sorry!

We're an active AirBnB family, and Dana's place has to be in our top 3 stays ever. The home was furnished in such a lovely way, including lots of clear signs, instructions, and heartwarming touches. She had stocked it full of amenities (like snacks, and bug spray, and slippers) that you rarely see in a rental home. We walked into lovely music playing, a virtual fire in the fireplace, and a beautifully set table. Her friendliness and helpfulness could be felt throughout the property. It was just SO WELL DONE. Plus, the location cannot be beat. We walked to Magnolia, to dinner, and more. Lastly, when it came to check out, there was no big chore list, just an easy exit. Dana simply "gets it", and knows exactly how to create a standout experience. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
