*Pickelball* The Bluebonnet-Container Home!

Summary:
Try out container home living in this unique tiny home! Sleeps 2 people in the custom Murphy® bed with a super-comfy Tuft & Needle™ queen size mattress. Kitchen and dining area features induction cooktop, fridge and custom knotty alder tabletop. Hang out on the spacious rooftop deck that lights up beautifully at night with the color-adjustable LED rail lights. Full-size, custom tiled shower and spacious bathroom completes this fascinating container home.

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.

Guest Access:
The cabin and rooftop deck are all yours!

The Neighborhood:
Great, safe neighborhood in the country just north of Waco. 5 minutes from I-35 and 2 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.

Absolutely Loved our stay
It was me and my husband for the weekend for a wedding. It was perfect for us. We sre 50+ in age and I honesly was worried about the murphy bed but it was comfortable. Loved the upstairs porch with the rocking chairs and the horses were so pretty to watch. Communication was so easy. Hoping to have another excuse to go to Waco so we can book it again. Thank you!

First time container stay
The container is cozy and charming. Perfect size for two. Provided everything we needed for a great visit to Waco. The location is next to the Homestead Village, walking distance to the Waffle Company and a cafe. There is some road noise but it wasn’t bad. Just wish our unit had a fire pit on the roof for nice touch.

Heritage Area Surprise
We really enjoyed this property. We booked it because we wanted a tiny home experience but we got a huge surprise. This property is located near the Heritage Farms and the Homestead Cafe. There is a local market and a waffle place right across the road. That was an awesome surprise as we thought we would have to go to town for everything. It was hot hot hot 106+ during our stay and the AC was not able to maintain temperature, but it was cool enough to sleep by 10. The unit is so cute. It is decorated well and the bed was quite comfortable. We really enjoyed staying at this property and are thinking about when we could come back and try one of the bigger tiny homes or cabins located on site.

Wonderful place to stay!
Great and relaxing, away from the bustle of Baylor and Waco. Lovely view of fields and horses. Short walk to the new Waco Waffles, which is fabulous. Very comfortable, clean, pleasant accommodations. I was somewhat worried about the Murphy bed before the stay, but it was super easy, fast to set up and comfortable, so not a problem at all. Will stay there again, it was awesome!

Just what I wanted for our mom/daughter getaway!!
I absolutely loved this little container home, very well done! Super clean and nicely decorated. The atmosphere of the area is amazing and relaxing, loved seeing the horses everyday. My daughter and I had fun exploring the Homestead Village and doing some activities there as well as taking in all things Magnolia Market!! .If there is anything I could change it would be to have that big, beautiful tree over the tiny home not drip sap! Lol…It left a nice coating on my car and rooftop patio & chairs. Maybe having some all purpose spray and towels to wipe the rooftop chairs off with daily would be helpful. I will definitely be back, and maybe pack my own cleaning stuff for all the sap!

Tiny Home in the Waco Countryside
Impeccably clean and nestled in a quiet area with other tiny home rentals. The owners were incredibly responsive and sincerely wanted to ensure I was enjoying my night with no issues. I appreciate that! Top balcony was peaceful, meadow with horses on the property added to the tranquility. A restaurant close by, Homestead Heritage provided a phenomenal meal. I would stay at this tiny home again! They made an overnight trip easy!

Amazing! 👏
This place was so cute and definitely a great value! So much nicer of an experience than a hotel. My husband and I stayed for our 2year wedding anniversary. This owners prepared for anything we would possible ever need, including a toothbrush when mine fell in the toilet 🤣. Also, use Waze and or the directions from the host and you'll find the place pretty easy to find.

Mother/Daughter Getaway
Planned a trip to Magnolia Market before my daughter has her baby. Told her we were staying in hotel and surprised her with tiny house. She was so excited. It wasn’t too far away from Magnolia or the other shops we went too. The tiny house was precious and perfect; had everything we needed. Actually dined at Homestead Cafe twice which was barely a two minute drive. Amazing food and people. Thank you Amanda and Kenneth!
