Cozy and comfortable
Having never stayed in a container home before we were excited to find Bluebonnet Trail. The Windmill was cozy and cute! Had all the necessities needed. Looked as described online.

Great place to stay for a couple days
Having never stayed in a tiny home, was a little nervous after booking until we showed up. This place was fantastic. Super quiet getaway and more than enough room to spend the day in or just a place to stay after a day in Waco. Will totally book again if in the area.
