Reviews From Our Guests

  • I can’t say enough about how well this shipping container home was designed, and how beautiful the property was. My partner and I are designers and just endlessly fawned over the attention to detail at every turn. The layout was perfectly appointed- we never felt crowded for a second during our stay. The weather was cool during the day, so we opened the garage door and enjoyed the view and fresh air. The water lined into the rooftop tub was hot enough to bathe at night while the temp was in the 50s. It was the perfect place to slow down while still being inspired by the aesthetic and comfort. We will definitely be back and recommend this place to friends and family.

  • My wife and I stayed here to get away for our 5 year anniversary. Everything about this place is perfect for a romantic getaway. Not to mention that you are in the perfect location to do so much stuff. While we were there we visited San Antonio (1 hour away), Fredericksburg (30 minutes away), and Austin (45 minutes away). We loved our time here and were sad to have our trip come to a close, but we are looking forward to the next time we can stay out here! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

  • What a beautiful gem! We loved how secluded the property felt, but how close in proximity it was to Johnson City and Fredericksburg! The shipping container had everything we could have wanted, including a 2nd story hammock that was perfect for watching the sunset! Definitely a cute and romantic getaway for two.
