“A Cottage of Warmth and Beauty”

“Discriminatory - do not book”
Tell Story Walk refused to host me and my fiancée because we are in a same gender relationship. I am appalled and shocked that they would decide to conduct business in this manner. Very unchris… More

Response from the owner Damon and Darci, Please forgive me for not responding earlier. We just this day were notified of your review. Or should I say, "Award." That's how Mary and I feel about your glowing words. Yours is a lasting affirmation that serving as innkeepers is one of the most rewarding experiences of our long, good lives. And that experience comes with the best of surprises. We served your blackberry honey to friends; that, along with Mary's scones, made them indebted to us forever. Sincerely, thank you for this gracious review. Your thoughts, and our memories, go a long way toward making the daily chores count for more than clean sheets and charming surrounds. When we started Tell Story Walk, we wanted to make a place where people could find a peace and togetherness. At best, we wanted our guests to experience a private beauty only God can make. Your reflections make us feel we've succeeded. Every day. All my best, Mark (and Mary)

Response from the owner Michael, I want to thank you for your gracious remarks. Unfortunately, I was only recently notified of your review. Mary and I well recall your visit: The "surprise" birthday for your wife's 40th. And, of course, as is so often the case, your beautiful girls were the highlight. Thank you for coming. And thank you, again, for your kind words. The memories our guests take home are, for us, the best of it all.

Response from the owner Carole, Please accept my apology for this belated response. Due to a problem yet to be explained, we were only recently notified of your review. We do, however, remember your visit here, and we deeply appreciate your taking the time to share your experience. Thank you for your gracious remarks. And, as before, thank you for choosing Tell Story Walk for your accommodations while visiting the Waco area.

Response from the owner Dear Reviewer, Unfortunately, we were only recently notified of your gracious thoughts. Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience here at Tell Story Walk. I particularly appreciate your remark about our "care and love for our guests." Such words capture everything Mary and I are about as hosts.

“Second trip and wonderful”
There are a few places to which you kind of dream of returning. Tell Story Walk is one. I brought my mum here several years ago and this time came back alone. There is no way to describe how beauti… More

Response from the owner Jan, Would that all our guests knew you. I remember that first visit you spoke of. You brought a dozen magazines, and in spite of your warm, easy openness, you couldn't hide that polish of mind and word reflected so eloquently in your review. When we learned you were, among other things, an accomplished writer, it all made sense. Then, there was mum. We fell in love with that lady. Demure, soft, twinkling: she was the perfect compliment to your presence. And you lived devotedly in her company. Mary and I well remember our offer to host her in our private home if you ever needed to just "get away." Together, the two of you were unforgettable. All of which is to say, when you returned for this recent visit, without mum, you were still that open and engaging presence that appreciates everything we strive for, and echoes everything we love in our guests. Thank you. You and your mother became a part of this place the first year we opened. The last line of your gracious review simply assures me, once again, that you always will be. From the heart, Mark (and Mary)
