SMURF HAUS | Luxuriously small w/ Resort-like Pool

Summary:
Welcome to Smurf Haus @ Worth the Wait Ranch. This resort style property was originally a cattle ranch built in 1918 & completely transformed in 2021 by award-winning design firm, Anthony W Design. This container-casita is constructed from 2 parallel shipping containers & has a full size kitchen + separate dining & living spaces. Enjoy the shared pool area featuring a mini golf course, fire pit, pool table & more! Please contact for events & commercial use, as additional fees apply.

The Space:
This casita is sustainably constructed from shipping containers making it a super unique experience but it also means space is limited. Maximizing function while utilizing space-saving building practices was a top priority. Rooms are small and there are no hallways, so to get from room to room, or to get to the kitchen/dining room/living room, guests must go outside.

Bedroom 1 has a king size bed, fold out desk, and full bathroom.

Bedroom 2 has a queen size bed, fold out desk, and shares a full size bathroom with Bedroom 3.

Bedroom 3 has a queen size bed, fold out desk, and shares a full size bathroom with Bedroom 2.

Bedroom 4 is a flex room that can be partitioned off from the dining room/kitchen (via heavy curtains). The bed is a queen size sofa bed.
The kitchen is full size and includes a full size washer & dryer.

The dining table seats 6, and the kitchen has additional bar seating.

The living room has a sofa, lounge chairs, and a 55" TV on castors.

Other Things to Note:
Please contact prior to booking for any events, gatherings or commercial use, as additional fees apply.

The rolling gate entrance into the parking lot must remain clear at all times.

There is a landscaping company that also uses the parking lot. They pick up their trucks every morning, and return them in the afternoon, so you may see them coming and going.

Landscapers typically perform lawn care on the entire property on Tuesday afternoon between 2PM - 5PM, however this is subject to change. Please contact prior to booking for confirmation if this is a concern.

Interaction with Guests:
Keep in mind, Worth the Wait Ranch is huge! All of the casitas are at the rear of the property behind The Manor, a resort-like 5bed/4.5bath home that is also available to rent. Next to Smurf Haus, there are 2 additional container-casitas. The owner lives in one, and the other is TeeBox which is a 3bed/3bath container-casita which is rented separately. There is a large parking lot that services all areas of the property, but each space is completely enclosed ensuring privacy for all guests. The owner is available when needed, otherwise he gives you total privacy.
