Container home with rooftop views and pickleball

Summary:
Enjoy an unforgettable stay in our Container Home, complete with rooftop views, pickleball, and more.

As seen on YouTube, this featured container home offers updated style, a comfortable queen bed, and a rooftop deck with serene pasture views perfect for watching horses graze and sunsets.

Walk to the many shops & restaurants (Cafe Homestead is our favorite...) at Homestead Heritage, all just 12 mins from the heart of Waco.

The Space:
This unique home started as a 40' shipping container! It's been fully modernized and makes for an unforgettable stay.

You'll love the rooftop deck; it's softly lit and is a beautiful place to enjoy pasture views with a glass of wine as the sun goes down.

Inside you'll find all the modern amenities for your trip to Waco-- a smart TV with seating space, a plush Queen-sized bed, a functional kitchenette with coffee, and a full-sized bathroom with custom tiled shower. Fun fact: 100+ year-old reclaimed barn wood was used for trim to bring in some old-world character.

And when you’re ready to get active, head to our brand-new pickleball court!

Everything at Homestead Heritage—Cafe Homestead, Homestead coffee roasting, and the Homestead Craft Village—is just a short walk away. There's so much to do, eat, learn, and see while you're here.

We can't wait to share this space with you!

The Neighborhood:
Great, safe neighborhood in the country just north of Waco. 5 minutes from I-35 and 3 minutes from Homestead Cafe and Craft Village. Only 8 minute from the Waco airport.

Getting Around:
You can park right at the house and Uber is available.

Interaction with Guests:
We live right around the corner so are available for anything you need including any questions on the house or your time in Waco. We’ll try to meet you to show you the house if possible but you can also check yourself in with the passcode we’ll send you the day of check-in.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker and an ironing board.

Excellent stay on the outskirts of Waco!

This tiny home makes for the perfect getaway. We found it to be cozy and comfortable. The property is quiet yet perfectly situated just a short drive away from all the places we wanted to visit during our stay. The rooftop patio is lovely for sunset or sunrise watching or just enjoying a drink/coffee. I enjoyed the scenic backdrop of the fields and we occasionally could see the horses grazing from outside our front door. Communication with the host was easy, professional, and timely. Even before our stay we were provided with all the info needed for check-in, locating the property, and a helpful guide to places to visit in and around Waco. Would definitely stay again if given the chance.

Nice stay next to Homestead Heritage

This was our first stay in Waco and first in a tiny home. The best part of the stay was being right next to Homestead Heritage with the kind of stuff my wife loves to browse. The container home has comparable space to a good-size hotel room, but the benefits of being in your own little house. The interior was in great shape, clean, and had nice finishes. A storm knocked out the wifi for the bulk of our stay, but the owner was super responsive and made sure things were made right. We enjoyed our stay and would likely stay there again if visiting Waco.

Smaller than I expected

This is a very cute VRBO, the size was smaller than I expected. I also should have looked closer to see that there is not a Washer/dryer in the unit. A week was a little long for the size. I would definitely stay again for a long weekend with 2 people is perfect.

Adorable Tiny House

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was exceptionally clean and looked just like the pictures. The property was quiet and easy to come and go. The property management was great to communicate with and they even sent a daily email before they closed to make sure you didn’t need anything. Check in/ out was really easy. Would definitely stay here again!

OMG! This was the cutest, cleanest, coolest VRBO ever! The area is safe and quiet! The only negative is the fact that we didn’t receive a unit number with our passcode, but it all worked out well. This is a MUST STAY, especially for the price!!

Darling little place!

Stayed here with my daughter for 3 nights while we enjoyed all the Waco sights. It was the perfect place for our stay: super cute & cozy, comfortable bed, very quiet, safe, & peaceful area, yet not too far from any attractions. It was our first time staying in a tiny home & I would definitely do it again. All the homes in this area looked comparable & well taken care of. Also they are situated in a country like setting which is nice after a busy day in town. Thank you!!
