About this house rental
This historic 5-bedroom, 4-bath home combines timeless character with modern comfort just blocks from Magnolia Market, the Farmers Market, Spice Village, and downtown Waco attractions. Originally built between 1907 and 1910, Fannie’s On 5th features stained glass windows, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, a clawfoot tub, and a grand front porch with rocking chairs, creating a one-of-a-kind stay near Baylor University.
Historic Downtown Waco Location
Fannie’s On 5th places you within walking distance of Magnolia Market, the Silos, the Farmers Market, Spice Village, Austin Avenue shops and restaurants, and many of downtown Waco’s most popular attractions. Baylor University is about a mile away, and Waco Surf is only a short drive from the home, making this a convenient location for both relaxing weekends and Baylor visits.
The Home
Originally constructed between 1907 and 1910, Fannie’s On 5th is a beautifully restored historic home filled with craftsmanship and character rarely found today. From the moment you arrive, the grand front porch welcomes you with large columns, handcrafted details, and white wicker rocking chairs perfect for slow mornings or relaxing evenings.
Inside, the home showcases many of its original architectural features, including stained glass windows, transoms, hardwood floors, tall ceilings, hand-carved woodwork, and an original fireplace mantel designed to mirror the stained glass patterns throughout the home. Guests will also find timeless touches like a clawfoot tub, vintage pedestal sink, and a charming sleeping porch lined with original windows.
The home has been lovingly restored by the great-great-granddaughter of the original owners, who rediscovered the property generations later and thoughtfully preserved its historic beauty while adding modern comforts throughout. Each bedroom includes unique decorative touches inspired by family history, local artists, and meaningful personal details connected to the home’s story.
A Thoughtful Stay in a Historic Neighborhood
Fannie’s On 5th has been part of this downtown neighborhood for more than a century, and maintaining a peaceful atmosphere for neighbors remains important. Guests are kindly asked to be respectful regarding noise and gatherings so everyone can enjoy the property and neighborhood comfortably.
Whether you’re visiting Waco for Magnolia, Baylor, or simply to experience one of the city’s most unique historic homes, Fannie’s On 5th offers a stay filled with warmth, history, and timeless charm.

Super cool place ! We stayed at Fannie’s for Easter weekend with extended family and had such a lovely time . The house is comfortable and nostalgic. We had everything we needed . One family arrived earlier than expected and was able to check in early with just a quick message . Everything was easy and the location is excellent. We definitely recommend Fannie’s !

Great stay! Fannie's on 5th was perfect, as we hoped, for our girls' trip to Waco. Beautiful home with a neat history and close to everything we were doing--Baylor, Magnolia, downtown, Cameron Park. Clean house, easy check-in, easy to message with host! Plenty of sleeping and bathroom accommodations plus space to hang out. Loved the upstairs sunroom too!

We loved that there were so many nooks and crannies where guests could gather. The kitchen was spacious and we could all join in cooking. Thanks for providing all the utensils we needed. We’ll be back!
