LED lights inside and a super-quiet, efficient mini-split AC unit makes this a comfortable, energy efficient space.

Nice Getaway from the City

The area is so serene, you can see a lot of stars at night. The area is secluded but accessible to a lot of dining, walking and tourist areas. Definitely worth your visit!

Cute Tiny House

Love the layout and decor of this tiny house. We enjoyed sitting on the roof to watch the sunset. The house wasn’t cleaned when we arrived and delayed our check-in by almost 2 hours. We were offered a late check out but already had plans for the next day. The cleaning may have been rushed because I think it could have been cleaner. It needs a deep clean as well as some maintenance work to the broken floor boards in the restroom and front doorway.

Unique Experience You Won’t Want To Miss

If you’re looking for a unique stay in an adorable place-this is it. From the shiplap walls & ceilings, decor, and every detail you can imagine. So much fun!!! The rooftop deck with lights with the sunset was pretty neat too. Clean, cozy, comfortable, and everything the pictures show is there. Centrally located to downtown and across the street from The Heritage Homestead. Will stay again!!!

Great Getaway

Beautiful place to stay. The scenery outside the home was amazing with houses and trees. The inside looks JUST LIKE the pictures. We especially loved the little clear square instructions on the walls, the chocolate by the bed, and the black tea kettle. AND! The brita water filter was so clutch! It really made our day. Really EVERYTHING was amazing. We definitely will be coming back. We fell in love with Waco in less than 24 hours.

Amazing stay

Photos are exactly what you get! Super cute and unique. It’s in a perfect location. Within walking distance of Homestead Cafe which is the best place to eat. I will say that some of the containers are close together and then some have distance between them. There was some road noise but honestly it didn’t bother us at all. We sleep with a fan for noise so we didn’t hear it at night anyway. It’s very clean and comfortable. These are small! I wouldn’t do more than 2 or it would be too crowded in my opinion. It was perfect for a couples getaway!

Fantastic Container Home!

The interior and exterior was just like the listing--adorable! It was my first time staying in a container home, and I loved it. Definitely enough space for a couple. The bed was comfortable, living area was cozy, and kitchen had what you'd need (I didn't cook but did use the coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge). Communication was fantastic, and signs within the unit were helpful. It is easy walking distance to Homestead Craft Village and an easy drive to the Silos, Cameron Park, etc. There are other container homes nearby but everyone was quiet. A bit of road noise during the day but not bad indoors, and no problems at night. Would definitely stay again!

The BEST set of tiny container home rentals anywhere - I bet! Also, if you want to spend a weekend at Homestead Heritage, Kenneth's properties are the absolute Best way to go. My only disappointment was the constant rain :( So I didn't get to enjoy the awesome rooftop patio.

Tiny package, big surprise!

What a beautiful tiny home! Owners have thought of every detail and provided all you need for a perfect stay. Cozy, well appointed decor, beautiful bathroom, comfy bed! Wifi works great and there is a large, pop-up smart TV in the living area. Roof top deck was great for watching the sunsets. Situated in a lovely, country setting very close to the Homestead Heritage Village with shops, food, and activities to enjoy. #112 can accommodate 4 but was perfect for 2 people. We will definitely be back! - Jerry & Carrie N

Great tiny house experience

Everything we needed to enjoy a quick weekend getaway. Clean, comfortable and private. We enjoyed the sunset from the rooftop of our tiny house and even had a nice chat with the family staying two houses over. Close enough to walk to the Homestead Heritage Craft Village. Only suggestion would be blackout blinds for the bedroom as the security light in the lot behind our unit (112) lit up the room throughout the night.

Loved this property!

We thoroughly enjoyed the made over shipping container (“Tiny House”)! It was so clean and unique! We have never seen anything like it and we’re overwhelmed with how nice it was. All of the little details made a world of difference. They really went above and beyond with every detail. Even the bed was super comfortable! Which is not always the case when you are away from home. It took us a while to settle in because there were so many cool details to check out when we first got there. Absolutely recommend to anyone!!
