Container home with rooftop views and pickleball

Unique Container home Stay with rooftop views and pickleball.

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!

Guest Access:
You'll have the entire container to yourself, of course, plus access to some community spaces like the pickleball court, picnic area, Homestead Heritage shops and restaurants.

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