My kids loved it. We got a kick out of the rustic nature of it. The shower was plenty hot and water tasted like a good Kentucky well. Starting a fire was a bit of an adventure for the kids too. The light switches took a minute to sort but not bad. The switch for primary light was kind of hidden. Checking in at dusk turned it into a hunt. Host was responsive and easy going.

Loved the uniqueness of the 'cabin'! It fit our needs very well as we came on a Thursday night and went to the ARK encounter the next day, it was very close, a quick drive away! Stayed another night and left Saturday morning. It was so peaceful, just what we needed!!

Container with so much charm!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Container. It was so clean, wonderfully decorated and just the right amount of privacy. It's so unusual for us to sleep well when we travel, but we slept so well this trip! We enjoyed meeting Josh our host. He was quick to answer our messages and we enjoyed talking to him about his work he did on the container. I would highly recommend staying here!!
