The Oak House in historic West, TX Minutes from Magnolia Silos & Baylor

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 5 bedroom/2.5 bath house.  This cool house that was built in 1919 has all the modern features but has kept the hundred year old charm.
Although this house has been through extensive renovation for your comfort, many of the elements from 100 years ago remain...the crystal doorknobs, the ceiling fans, beautiful rare wood floors, the original coal shoot, shiplap, the wavy glass in the windows. It's hard to believe that this house has withstood 100 years!
The main/master bedroom has a king-sized bed, while the 3 rooms upstairs are furnished with a queen-sized beds and the 4th room upstairs with a full bed., comfortable for sleeping 10 people.  There is also plenty of floor space in the event that you bring an air mattress or two. The quaint living room is fully furnished.  The kitchen is perfect for dining as it is fully equipped with oven, and fridge. There is also a full laundry room for you to access. Feel free to enjoy the free wifi!
Spend the day enjoying nearby bakeries and shopping local: Czech Stop, Slovacek's, Gerik's Bakery, Village Bakery, Carla's Collage, Divine Designs, Blessings, Pasture Princess, Olde Corner Antiques or drive 15 minutes to Waco to visit the Magnolia Market, home of HGTV's Fixer Upper.  Interestingly, we were chosen to be on Fixer Upper for season One, Two and Three. We ultimately declined the opportunity and enjoyed doing our own Fixer Upper. This house has been fully renovated; new plumbing, new electrical system, new HVAC. Our Home is also available for daytime events Sunday afternoon - Thursday afternoon. ($150)

Our family reunion is held at Tours Hall every summer. We usually stay at a local hotel l. This year we have the wonderful addition of our 9 month granddaughter so we thought a house might suit us better. This house was perfect! It has everything that you could possibly need. It is big and roomy and do well stocked. The front porch is the perfect place for morning coffee and visiting. We walked to the kolache and pizza shops. Carla was an amazing host. We will definitely be back year after year!

Great family gathering place
We were so happy with The Oak House. This place has 5 bedrooms and 4 of those are very large, making ample room for air mattresses if needed. The kitchen was roomy, and the two dining areas made for great spreads, board games, and conversation. I was worried noise would vary throughout the house but it was not bad at all. My kids enjoyed the basketball hoop. There was a corner store and a restaurant within walking distance, plus Starbucks, McDonald’s, Sonic and a huge gas station within a mile. We made our way down to Waco several times for tourism, groceries, and shopping.

Nice and Easy
Carla was a great host! The house was. Lean and tidy, and checkin was extremely easy. She knew we were staying in town for our university’s homecoming and had school themed decorations in place, and left us a welcome cake. There’s a binder full of recommendations of all the best places to eat, etc. everything in the house was nicely labeled making it extremely easy to find anything. A truely lovely experience.

Awesome Autumn Baby Shower & Girls Weekend
We were looking for a special place for baby shower. Our daughter-in-law’s out of town guests wanted to have a girls weekend while together. We combined it all with additional guests for a brunch shower and this location was perfect! We had everything plus extras; the owner was so accommodating and a step ahead with everything! Definitely 5 stars and above!

Amazing house!
We stayed here for a weekend trip to Waco and Fort Worth. Perfect location outside of the bustling cities. About 20 minutes to Waco and an hour to Fort Worth. Spacious house - we had 6 adults and 2 babies and never felt cramped. Kitchen was fully stocked, great bakery across the street, easy access to the interstate without feeling like you are right on it. House is gorgeous - beauty of an old house with the convenience of updated fixtures. Carla was an amazing host! She was very responsive and gave great recommendations! Will definitely stay here again when we come back to the area.

Wonderful Stay in West!
Our stay in west at the Oak House was wonderful! Our family gathered here for the OU Baylor football game - we traveled from Duncan, Edmond and Clinton Oklahoma, Bryan Texas and upstate New York !! It was the perfect place for our whole family to catch up and enjoy one another. The house had plenty of space for the 11 of us. It was cozy, spacious and rich in history, which made everyone feel super comfortable! We ate nearby at the Tipsy Lion and picked up food across the stress from the pizza house - even enjoyed using the basketball goal for a little pee dinner game! Our host Carla was fabulous and checked in to make sure we were taken care of! Everything was easy, accessible and very clean - we all highly recommend staying here!

There were eight of us and we were in the area one night for a Baylor game. Some of the girls wanted to stay in a restored home and this one was just perfect. So many little touches and the ambience of a by-gone era. It was evident that this is an owner that really cares! on the way to the game we went just down the street to the bakery! It was such a fun stay!
