This was our first experience with a VRBO like this and we loved it! Our kids had their own area and we had the upstairs to ourselves. The stairs going up can be kind of difficult to maneuver with bags, but we took stuff up a little at a time and all was good. The location next to the little shops was amazing (try the coffee shop - you will thank me later). We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful unique spot!

We really enjoyed our stay! Check-in was super easy (all digital) & upon arrival, the house was clean and exactly as portrayed online. There were some horses roaming just across the way which was super exciting for our two young girls. Our girls loved the tiny home experience!

Tiny house in a slice of heaven

So unique!

Our family loved our stay in this tiny home! It was so cute and stylish. We enjoyed time together on the upper deck in the evening. It was the perfect place to stay during our quick stop in Waco to take in the Magnolia sites.

This place is nicely thought out, but we had a few issues which were communicated to the host. The communication from the host was also a little difficult, not always timely. The issues were getting access with the door code given--host later advised that we had to use the side door instead of the front door. The party lights attached to the deck up top had been unplugged form an extension cord that was laying on the ground and would requite a ladder to connect back to the lights. These container homes are an interesting concept and you will enjoy if you don't mind a small space. The beds were comfortable.

Quick overnight stop - Cute and well stocked

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.

Cargo container adventure

We were a little apprehensive about renting this remodeled container for 4 adults. However our concerns were unfounded. Yes, containers are narrow but clever design created a comfortable environment. Accommodations were clean and well stocked. Communication and transfer of information was outstanding. We wanted an adventure and we are so pleased with our stay!! We will certainly recommend to our friends.

Wonderful Experience

The house is wonderful, clean adnnd smelled so good. The house is comfortable and the views are amazing. The house came with coffee, creamer and filtered water. Netflix was also available on the tvs. The host communicated the most our of all VRBOs I have ever experienced. I literally had no questions because they communicated so well and was available. It was such a wonderful experience for my family to stay. Thank you Kenneth and Amanda's for this wonderful experience.

Unique, fun, and convenient

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.

Positive Review

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!

This Tiny House Community is A Hidden Gem for Families—Our Second Stay!

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.
