Experience the perfect fusion of rustic charm and modern design at The Merlot House, a stunning CargoHome™ container retreat nestled in the peaceful countryside just outside Waco. Only a 12-minute drive from Magnolia Market, this unique home offers a private rooftop deck, contemporary amenities, and a prime location for a relaxing and adventure-filled getaway.

Step inside and discover a warm and inviting space designed for comfort and convenience. The private bedroom features a queen-size Tuft and Needle mattress for restful sleep, while a convenient inflatable floor mattress provides extra accommodations for children or additional guests. The fully equipped kitchen, with its granite countertops and cooking essentials, invites you to create a delicious meal or simply enjoy your morning coffee as sunlight streams in.

The spacious bathroom boasts a custom-tiled, full-size shower and thoughtful extras like shampoo, a hair dryer, and an iron, ensuring you have everything you need for a seamless stay. With free WiFi, TV, air conditioning, and a dedicated workspace, The Merlot House blends modern living with countryside tranquility.

Beyond the container walls, your private rooftop deck awaits—a softly lit haven perfect for stargazing with a glass of wine or taking in the Texas sunset. Enjoy free parking on-site, a smooth self check-in with the smart lock, and the convenience of nearby Uber services for effortless commutes.

Explore local attractions like the craft village at Homestead Cafe, the Cameron Park Zoo, the Dr Pepper Museum, and the artisanal delights of Brazos Valley Cheese. As you wind down your day, The Merlot House welcomes you back for a night of peace and comfort, offering a Texas retreat where every detail is designed for relaxation.

What we love about this stay

Get up to the rooftop deck by golden hour—around 7:30 in summer—with a bottle of something Texas red. The sunset here isn't a backdrop; it's the main event, and the soft string lights kick in just as the sky goes violet. Mornings, use that compact kitchen to brew coffee and take it up top before anyone else in the countryside stirs. Skip dining out your first night; grab cheese and charcuterie from Brazos Valley Cheese on your way in and let the rooftop do the work. The Tuft and Needle queen sleeps better than you'd expect from a container stay—cool and firm. A practical note: self check-in means no one's waiting on you, so time your arrival for that late-afternoon light and you'll understand immediately why this place works.
