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.

Poppy and Rye place was absolutely amazing! Dana and Rye thought of everything and made it so much like home - all the special touches. The meaning behind the home made it all the more special. Thank you so much for sharing your home and for everything - we loved your place and definitely hands down would stay again!

One of my favorite AirBNBs ever! Really well laid out space that accommodates a lot of people for the space. The outdoor areas were so fun- backyard fire pit where you can listen to the live music down the street! Front porch we enjoyed several times during the stay! The beds were very comfortable. Tons of personal details and thoughtful touches. There are so many places in Waco, but honestly I will just stay here again next time I come.

Our stay at Dana’s home was perfect for our group of 3 couples. The home was so clean and comfortable. What stood out to us the most was the attention to detail. Every detail was thought out and provided for and made our stay feel extra special. The location is perfect for getting around Waco and was walkable to magnolia and restaurants. Be aware that there is a restaurant/bar behind the house and we found it loud on Friday and Saturday nights (we were there for a football game weekend though so this didn’t surprise us). However Dana provided white noise machines and ear plugs (that attention to detail!) and it wasn’t a problem at all for our group. I highly recommend this property and rank it as one of the best we’ve stayed at in our years of travel. You won’t be disappointed!

Poppy & Rye was the ideal retreat for our group of three couples. Every detail of the home felt intentional from the stylish decor to the thoughtful amenities. It was clear that a lot of care went into creating a comfortable, welcoming space. The location was very convenient. We appreciated how well-equipped and beautifully maintained everything was. We’ll definitely be booking again the next time we’re in the area
