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: #STR000781-07-2024

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.

LOVELY! This place won't disappoint. Gorgeous, roomy, luxurious, classy, clean. Due to family, we have stayed in a LOT of Waco Airbnbs. Tons. This is the only one worthy of a repeat visit. It really was super clean, and well stocked and just lovely. Room for a family to spread out, or a friend group to gather. Linens were soft and lovely, beds so comfy. We'll be rebooking this one if it is available when we need it next. They do a good job of warning you about the loud music behind them. And you might think, "oh no!" when you first hear it... but we all put our noise makers on, never even used the ear plugs, and all slept like babies. Truly. Wouldn't hesitate to go back, and next time maybe we'll have time to go and listen to the music around the corner! Outside area great for kids if you need room for them to expel energy. What a find!!

We had a wonderful stay while we visited the Silos and other Magnolia properties. The house was clean and beautifully decorated and very peaceful. One of the highlights for our stay were the cats the live on the porch that are super friendly and our kids absolutely loved taking care of while we were there. We also appreciated the house being fully stocked and the hosts making checkout so easy and painless!

I don’t leave reviews, maybe twice in my life, but this adorable little home warranted one! It was so homey, spacious, clean, within walking distance to everything! Dana was so responsive and accommodating, could not have asked for a better host! I wish we could have stayed longer. Will definitely be booking again!

This should be what all other AirBNB’s are measured against and they would all be in 2nd place. It is obvious when you first walk in that they understand what it takes to be a great host, no words can explain the attention to detail that you will experience when staying here. Absolutely the best by all measures, thank you!

We had an amazing stay at Dana & Rye’s. The home was so beautifully done and they thought of every detail. They went above and beyond to make our stay feel comfortable and special and we are so grateful. We were visiting as big fixer-upper fans and loved the walkability to the Silos and the thoughtfulness they themselves put into the design and decor of the Poppy & Rye house. Thank you again Dana & Rye! We would definitely come back!

The house was perfect for our group of 6 ladies. Dana and Rye thought of every single thing you would need if you forgot anything. There were even extra slippers and a wonderful bottle of wine! We really enjoyed the fire pit and decided to cook our last night as this place was beautiful and fully equipped for cooking a gourmet meal! Highly recommend❣️
