Flophouze Shipping Container Hotel - Houze 6

Built from recycled shipping containers, these simply amazing, durable, iron boxes were once used to ship just about anything imaginable around the globe by land and sea.

Now, with a new lease on life, Flophouze has transformed these containers into unique, comfortable, cozy living spaces. Come. Stay. You won't want to leave.

Our "Smooth Sailing" Houze VI - Sleeps 4 and has a private room featuring a beautiful queen size bed with twin bunk beds at one end and a comfortable full sized sofa in the living room. An efficient Hollywood bathroom separates the space.

Outside, each Houze has its own hammock, fire pit, and chairs. Inside, the kitchenette features a sink, microwave, mini-fridge, tea kettle and Chemex coffee maker for the morning get up and goers! The interiors are cladded with sustainably harvested wood from our farm in upstate New York and reclaimed lumber from a distillery in Kentucky. The windows were salvaged from a school in Philadelphia that was slated for demolition and provide tons of natural light. On a playful note, we installed kitchen cabinet bases from an FDA laboratory in Brooklyn, and old bowling alley floors from Texas to complete the countertops!

Upon your arrival, each casa will have complimentary coffee and tea, Topochico sparkling water, and Mexican Cokes. Just a short drive away in Round Top, there is a market for light snacks and other goodies. Every detail has been carefully crafted to ensure that your stay is a memorable one.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Rohan Meadery. Enjoy your stay with amenities like a kitchen and a balcony in the vacation home.

Quirky Thanksgiving 2020

We were looking for a quirky family getaway for the Thanksgiving break from school, and found it at the Flophouse. It was just what we expected except for the copious amounts of cow patties around the containers and fire pits, and a small mix up about the key that was quickly resolved. Overall, we loved the unique experience!

Unique. Homey. Romantic. Perfect for kids.

It was one of the most unique stays we've had, but still had all the modern day comforts. We absolutely loved waking up to the cows and horses. The weather was perfect. We didn't even leave the vicinity during our stay because there was loads to do. If your looking for a place to just relax and enjoy, this is it!!!
