The Space:
This unique home started as a 20’ shipping container. We insulated and paneled the interior in pine shiplap. The outside is clad with cedar siding with spacing to allow the original container to still be seen. Entry is through the original container doors. We removed the steel panels from the doors and replaced them with picturesque full glass. The fun rooftop deck is surrounded by a custom cable railing system and lit with LED lights under the rail that gives the deck a beautiful glow at night. The deck is accessed by an alternating step stairway.

You have exclusive access to the entire cabin, a delightful rooftop deck, and a convenient parking space right next to the property. Checking in is a breeze – we'll send you the passcode on the day of your arrival for a seamless and contactless entry through the smart lock.

Waco container house

I almost hate to tell everyone how nice this was! Don't want it to get crowded as I fully intend to stay there again ! We had a nice stay. It was super clean with a comfy bed & plenty of hot water. The area is "outside" of Waco & we felt very secure there. Roof deck provided nice extra space in the beautiful weather.

Ants

The property is a great concept but there is an ant problem with this particular unit. Upon arrival we noticed a few ants on the walls; and we figured ok that’s fine it is a sea container there might be a few bug here or there. We stayed at most 6 hours in the unit overnight. When we woke up there were more ants inside, we sprayed the door frame both inside and outside the unit. We left for the day and came back around 6pm to get settled in sprayed the door again and noticed that now there are not just ants, there were ant larvae all over the bed/pillows/floor/everything. Once we saw how big the ant problem was we checked out early and found another location to stay at. We never brought food/food trash into the unit. We understand that ants can be pesky, but to have larvae in the unit as well; means it’s a much larger ant problem. We decided fighting ants and ant bites during vacation wasn’t worth it. The owner was friendly and after we explained the issue did offer to set us up at another unit but we were already in another city, staying elsewhere.
