If your dream vacation involves Southern charm and lots of farmhouse style, get ready to grab a reservation at Chip and Joanna Gaines’ just-announced second vacation rental home. The Fixer Upper stars put their magic makeover touch on every square inch of this pretty pad, dubbed Hillcrest Estate, in their hometown of Waco, Texas. “We definitely kept its old world charm,” Joanna writes in an Instagram post introducting the property.

If you’re looking to book a stay, get ready to act fast: Reservations for September-December 2017 open August 8th at 9:00 a.m., and if it’s anything like their first vacation rental, Magnolia house, it will book up in mere minutes.

Although we wouldn’t blame the guest who never leaves the comfort of this cozy bedroom, there are a plethora of spots to explore in the humble Texas town.
