Mid-Century Modern 1955 Vintage Trailer
9. Mid-Century Modern 1955 Vintage Trailer
22mi from Troy · 1 site
We spent nearly one year fully restoring and remodeling our 1955 Traveleze trailer just for you. Now you can experience the beauty and fun of staying in a mid-century modern vintage trailer in Waco. It's an experience you'll never forget. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and small families.
We are across the street from the Arboretum, 1.3 miles from Lake Waco, and a 15 min drive from Magnolia Market.
We are committed to Airbnb's nondiscrimination policy.
The space
Make your tiny home dreams come true - vintage style with modern touches!
Our 1955 Traveleze was born and raised in Los Angeles just before getting a makeover and retiring to Texas at the age of 62-years-young. The bed is a comfortable futon opposite a padded bench seat with storage underneath with extra linens, just in case. You'll find all the pillows, sheets, and comforter in the small closet to the right of the bathroom door (the one with the clocks on it).
The bathroom with shower, toilet, and extras is located at the end of the trailer behind the door with the mirror. One of the coolest pieces in the trailer is the original 1950's gas stove - that still works! Just turn on the gas and use the lighter to light the flame (let us know if you if you need help).The A/C and the electric water heater work very well.
We have a dedicated parking spot for your vehicle right next to the trailer or you can park on the street, whichever you prefer. The trailer is stationed in the back corner of our backyard, but is fenced off from the rest of the yard for your privacy. There are no working security cameras on the premises.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a mid-size trailer, so the shower and bed are small and may not be comfortable for guests over 5' 10". The trailer is 21 feet long, 8 feet wide, and about six feet and three inches tall on the inside.
Guest access
You can access the driveway, parking spot, and fenced in Trailer space. The arboretum across the street has a few miles of gorgeous trails to enjoy!

This was our second time booking and it won’t be our last. It’s the perfect spot for me, my husband, and our dogs. It felt secluded, clean, well-maintained, and exactly what we needed to recharge. We even spotted what I think were gazelles! I always love seeing the wildlife out here. Highly recommend this place!!

The Hideout is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the peacefulness of nature. Cozy and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Everything is clean, modern and comfortable. A great spot for stargazing! The wildflowers were blooming and beautiful. The river access area is incredible but you definitely need a 4x4 to navigate the area. I highly recommend this place!

Loved this glamping spot. The tent was gorgeous and secluded. It was a quick drive to get to the river where we sat on the bank as our dog splashed around in the river. Lots of cool wildlife is here (be careful while driving, as some tend to run out of trees across the roads occasionally!)
Highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Hive Yurt Retreat
The Hive Retreat is simply magical! When my niece asked to go camping for her birthday I wasn't sure how I, a non-camping person, could make that happen.
The Hive was the perfect solution. We could make a fire for hot dogs and s'mores. Enjoy the stars and a sunrise over the pond. Wake up to natural light through the skylight but also be in comfortable beds when we did.
The restrooms were wonderful, and the hospitality and details Mandy puts into each stay is spectacular. It truly feels above and beyond at every turn.
We cannot wait to go back and are already recommending The Hive to friends!

Such a lovely place! We have stayed in many rental units over the years, but this was our first yurt (we are usually tent campers) and it was Wonderful. Clean and well kept with every detail considered. Bathrooms are easily accessible and also clean and welcoming. Sauna is the Best! (and they even provide bathrobes)! Despite the quick Texas-style weather change (from 75 to 40 overnight), we were warm and cozy inside. Our weenie dog even felt like she was home.

Lost horizon was a great experience for us. I’m in my 40’s and we enjoy camping but I am not into communal living or multiple units close together. This offered the seclusion we wanted and a fair price. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or at least a full size suv to get down the last stretch of road to the sites. Everything else is just as noted on the site and within the website for the property. Don’t hesitate to book!
