The Helm CargoHome Shipping Container Cabin Vacation Rental Near Waco, Texas

This unique home started as two shipping containers–20′ and 40′. We insulated and paneled the interior in pine shiplap and trimmed it out in 100+ year old barnwood. 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 or a side entry with a standard door. 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 and upstairs bedroom is accessed by an exterior spiral stairway.
It’s available to book on Airbnb and you can also customize and order your own from CargoHome.
