Stunning Container Home with Rooftop Terrace

Summary
Waco's most captivating Airbnb—The "Cool River" 2-story Container Home, a YouTube sensation nearing 1M views! Walk to the incredible shops and restaurants of Homestead Heritage or play pickleball on our brand new court, all while being just 12-min from the heart of Waco! The well-lit rooftop deck has beautiful pasture views, perfect for evening cocktails. All together, there are two private suites for you, a bedroom and bathroom on each floor-- ideal for couples traveling together!

The space
Our unique home started with two shipping containers but has been transformed into an unforgettable space. The rooftop deck is lit for ambiance and might be our favorite feature. Catch the sunset over the pasture with a glass of wine, or enjoy the morning with a cup of coffee. Inside, there is ample natural light and beautiful design. You'll have all the modern amenities-- a cozy living space, 2 smart-TVs, pristine Queen-sized bedrooms, a kitchenette stocked with essentials, and full-sized bathrooms. 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 it with you. Thanks for staying with us!

The location is a safe rural neighbourhood, just north of Waco and close to I-35. Surrounded by trees, cattle graze nearby. Guests are also welcome to use the lawn. Shop and eat in Homestead Cafe and Craft Village, only minutes away by road.
