Whether you're having a big bachelorette bash, or a small-group weekend getaway to reconnect with your long-distance besties, a great crowd is the key to a successful girls' trip. But, if you and your crew also want to vacation in a design destination, Joanna Gaines has just the location: Waco, Texas.
For massive Fixer Upper fans, Waco needs no introduction. As the home of the show's stars, Chip and Joanna Gaines, the Texas town has quickly transformed from a quaint village to the epicenter of the couple's Magnolia empire. The dynamic duo opened their brand's home base, The Silos, in 2015, giving the entire town their own shiplapped touch—a move some find a tad controversial. Since then, Waco has quickly become the ultimate place for design-minded group to unwind.
Once you set the date for your design-forward bachelorette, book a stay one of the accommodations that were designed by Chip and Joanna. If they look familiar, that may be because both Carriage House and Magnolia House made cameos on Fixer Upper.

Hungry? Grab a cup of coffee at Magnolia Press, cupcakes at Silos Baking Co., or a variety of treats, from popcorn to pizza, at the empire's various food trucks. And for a group dinner that appeals to all of the senses, reserve a spot at Magnolia Table.
Of course, you can't plan a girls' trip without a robust activity—and the Gaines family has you covered there, too. You might opt for a little retail therapy at one of the various Magnolia stores one day, and book a walking tour of the couple's prized Silos the next. Either way, one thing's for sure: This will be a trip Fixer Upper super fans will never, ever forget.
