    The container lodging experience was fun and comfortable! Everything was immaculate, with a nice decor. Lindsay, the host, was so nice and excellent on updates information before our arrival. We will definitely return for a future visit!

    This was our second time visiting the Cool River Helm™ Container Home, and it was just as fantastic as our first! Myself and my three kids stayed here during our fall break, and we had an unforgettable time. The owners are absolutely magnificent—so friendly and responsive. The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway, just 12 minutes from Magnolia and Baylor. The sunset from the house is stunning, and we were thrilled to find they had added a Pickleball court since our last visit. My kids had a blast exploring the property, especially the pond in the center, where they loved seeing turtles and fish. The upstairs bed was a favorite of my two sons, who said it was super comfy! And the memory foam pillows? Incredible! Now I need to buy one for home! One small issue with the thermostat in the bedroom was quickly resolved—within 5 minutes of texting the owner, someone was there to fix it. The service was beyond impressive, and we were right back to enjoying our tiny house adventure. We can’t wait to come back again! This unique and charming tiny house is perfect for families, and it keeps getting better every time we visit.

    Wish we had more time but we arrived late due to horrible traffic on the 35. Amazing container home. Easy location, great comm with owner, fully stocked. Our 3 teens enjoyed their space downstairs and my husband and I enjoyed our space upstairs. Would definitely come back for a longer stay maybe a girls weekend for our teens and I.

    We (grandma, mom, teen girl) stayed here for one night for a short trip to Waco and loved it - wish we could have stayed longer! This was a perfect setup for us to have some space, even in a “tiny” home and was super comfortable. Directions were great, and these hosts have really thought of everything (like backlit unit numbers). The horses next door were a bonus! It’s good to know that the third bed is a twin air mattress, and that there are extra sheets for that but no extra blankets, so bring your own if you’ll have someone using that. This spot was well worth the money and we are already planning our next trip - we loved not having to do any cleanup, etc before leaving.

    5 star…….0ne suggestion for property owners for safety……be extra careful when going out the door to go up the spiral staircase. One has a tendency to be looking DOWN at the boardwalk to avoid stepping off and you can get a pretty hard knock on the head, as the spiral staircase is CLOSE to the front door. We finally hung a plastic bag on the staircase as a warning. A pool noodle could be mounted at head level on the staircase corner. You MAY need to use the little space heater when it’s cold as there aren’t any extra blankets. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back AND refer our friends! Thank you!
