Tiny Container Farmhouse: 12 Min to Magnolia/Baylor
Summary:
Discover the charm of tiny home living in our unique, "Farmhouse" Container Home nestled in peaceful Waco, Texas. Perfect for couples seeking a one-of-a-kind getaway, this studio provides comfort and style just 12 minutes from the famed Magnolia Market. Featuring a custom Murphy bed, a Spacious Rooftop deck, and exquisite wood accents, let this hidden gem be your cozy retreat after exploring local sights like the Waco Mammoth National Monument, Cameron Park Zoo or Homestead Heritage.
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:
You have exclusive access to the entire cabin, a delightful rooftop deck, and a convenient parking space right next to the property. Checking in is a breeze – we'll send you the passcode on the day of your arrival for a seamless and contactless entry through the smart lock. And for your local adventures, Uber/Lyft is readily available at your service. Experience comfort, convenience, and a touch of magic during your stay with us!
The Neighborhood:
Great, safe neighborhood in the country just north of Waco. 5 minutes from I-35 and 3 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.
Other Things to Note:
Located just north of Waco, you’re in a safe neighborhood mere minutes from an array of attractions.
