    This container home is very cute and clean. I was worried initially because it rained and stormed while we were there but we felt comfortable and safe inside.

    My husband and I stayed here for one night. It was clean and had everything we needed. Getting to the location was easy as the owners communicated how to get there in a very detailed manner so we couldn’t miss it. My only suggestion would be installing lights at the property entry so it’s easier to spot at night. The bed was VERY comfortable, something we have had issues with in the past at other rentals but not here, we slept great! The upstairs deck was so magical at night with comfy chairs and games. Entry/check in was seamless as was check out. We appreciated how well the owners communicated all details with us and presented everything in such an organized manner. Also the location was of the home just so happened to be right next to a coffee/breakfast spot, craft village, and resturant which made breakfast, lunch, and dinner options a breeze. We had a great time here and if we are ever in Waco again, we will definitely be back. Thank you!

    Was a great experience! Was not too far from downtown Waco. Had a nice spot right near it with a coffee shop, general store, and bbq.

    Thank you for a lovely stay. All the amenities you would need and far enough out in the country away from downtown Waco. Great communication and great host. Would recommend.

    We did this as a fun place to stay for my teens birthday while visiting Waco and Magnolia sights. We had a blast and as a small business owner that runs a clamping party business in AZ, I thought these were the coolest things!

    Bigger then I had expected it to be. The above patio was definitely a hit for my son and I. We had a blast playing corn hole, board games, and stargazing. The location was next to heritage homestead which turned out to be a fun surprise! We would definitely come back!

    My family of four enjoyed our quick one night stay. Thankfully our children were small enough to sleep on the couch otherwise I would not consider this space appropriate for 4.

    These storage container tiny homes are SO cute and located super close to The Magnolia Market at the Silos. The whole property is adorable and family friendly. There is a coffee shop, cheese shop, bbq restaurant, general store & a lot more all within walking distance and plenty of little trails. Overall, it was a fun family getaway and definitely a repeat vacay! The owners were extremely attentive and helpful our entire stay. We were very pleased.
