Summary: This was the perfect home for our small group of friends to experience a reading retreat! It was spacious; clean; cozy; comfortable; wonderfully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed. And truly, the space was designed perfectly to feel like the ideal space for a reading retreat. We were so pleased and would stay here again. Thank you for a great weekend!

Summary: We are three friends who have known each other for over 50 years. We needed a one story place (one of us uses a cane) with separate bedrooms and comfortable places to sit and visit. This house exceeded our expectations in meeting our requirements and also is beautifully decorated. We had all we needed an more in the kitchen, and house layout allowing us times of privacy and times of gathering.

Summary: This was our second weekend visit at English Writer’s Cottage, and it was as wonderful as the first. I just love this house. The neighborhood is great and convenient to everything we wanted to do in Waco. I would not hesitate to stay here again and again.

Summary: The house was as described but the experience in dealing with the host was not good. We found a live cockroach on the 2nd night of what was to be a 7 night stay. Even though we only saw 1 we know that usually there are more. We called Josh our host and he said "Texas has bugs". Even though he never saw it he said it was probably a water bug, but we know it was a cockroach. We told him that we just couldn't stay there so he apologized and offered to fumigate. We did not want to stay in a freshly fumigated house so he offered another house. We drove across town to see it but we were greatly disappointed. The house we booked was close to downtown, was charming with exquisite furnishings and art, and had quiet cozy rooms and a king bed. This mid mod he offered as an alternative was none of that and was not where we wanted to spend the rest of the week so we declined. At this point he became very defensive and said he couldn't give money back. He threatened us saying that if we gave him a bad review, he would give us a bad review. I told him that VRBO frowns on distortion and is grounds for closing an account. He told me that he is a "super host" so that wouldn't happen and if it did he would "move back into it". By this time I was ready to be done with him because it was getting scary. Much to our dissatisfaction we settled on a refund equal to about 1 nights stay. Josh may be a super host if all goes well but if you have any issues or upset him you better beware.

Summary: The Writer's Cottage is a beautiful and charming property. The decor is gorgeous - beautiful antiques, interesting artwork and unique accessories. The open kitchen is unbelievably beautiful and functional. It is definitely the central gathering place. The property owners were excellent hosts. We had an issue with the TV and Josh came to the house to take care of it. It was a perfect girls weekend getaway. Thank you, Josh and Jill.

Summary: Our group had a cozy and comfortable stay. The home is spacious and perfect for small groups, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax. The sleeping arrangements were incredibly comfortable. The indoor and outdoor seating areas were fantastic — we loved having the option to relax inside or enjoy the fresh air outside. Overall, it was a perfect place for our group to come together, reconnect and enjoy a memorable getaway. I would absolutely stay here again.
