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.

Everything about this stay was 10/10! The bungalow was even more beautiful than the photos, and the attention to detail was incredible. The welcome sign was personalized, which was sooo cute! There were slippers, individually sealed, with robes in the rooms and the beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was FULLY stocked and the bathrooms even had a few toiletries. The outdoor space was perfect, it was private with a gas fire pit, chairs and a blanket in case it was chilly. Dana and Rye were so welcoming and provided the best local recommendations, if you’re looking for a seamless, and overall fabulous experience, book this place now!".

We had a wonderful stay at the Poppy & Rye Bungalow! The location to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment was perfect and the bungalow has become our new favorite place to stay in Waco! The recent renovation is gorgeous and felt like luxury! They thought of everything…from sweet treats waiting for us when we checked in to comfy slippers during our stay! It truly felt like home away from home! We can’t wait to check out more homes in the Poppy & Rye line!

Dana and Rye made us feel so at home and comfortable in the heart of Waco. We were visiting friends and it was so lovely to have a place to stay and for our friend to have a parking spot! She provided snacks and great Waco recommendations!

I don't know where to start! I have been to a lot of AirBnb's and this one was by far one of the very best. Dana and Rye are the best hosts. Special details, communication, Dana making a special trip (on CHRISTMAS!) to the house before we got there to make sure the temperature was comfortable, and just overall kindness. The house is SUPER adorable and cozy. Newly remodeled and they did a fabulous job. The location was outstanding for anything you'd want to do. The outdoor area and fire pit was perfect for us to connect. Lots of restaurants and shops close by. If you go to Waco, stay here! You won't be sorry!

Nice little place - far better than sharing a single hotel room for the two of us at roughly the same price! Place was easy to find and to get in. Very clean.

We stayed at this lovely home this past weekend while visiting Baylor for our daughter’s senior year and her running the line. We arrived late Friday night after a long drive, and pulling up to this charming, beautifully prepared home instantly made the trip worth it. Every detail had been thoughtfully arranged — from the warm fireplace waiting for us to the personal notes and special touches throughout. The home had everything we needed and more. The beds were incredibly comfortable, everything was spotless, and the shower products were high quality. The décor was carefully curated and added so much warmth and character to the space. It truly felt like a home away from home. The location was perfect as well — close to everything we needed for the weekend, but tucked away enough that it didn’t feel crowded or hectic. One thing we especially appreciated was that the hosts don’t require guests to do a long list of chores before checking out. As they said themselves, why pay a cleaning

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!
