1st time container stay

Container was very unique. We really enjoyed the wood burning stove, the grill, and the outdoor fireplace. We had everything that we needed for our stay. It was very cold and snowed and everything was beautiful. The pond even had a layer of ice on it. Thanks for sharing your container home!

Quiet place to stay

We had to go down for my brother's wedding. The location was within an easy 20-ish minute drive and was still far enough away to not be in town while still being easy to get to things. It was nice and we really enjoyed it.

Perfect amount of space

We had a great stay. The "rail car" is ample size and has all the amenities you need. Great spot in the mountains if you are looking for a nice place to crash after being outside all day. The communication with Edward was easy and he was very helpful.

Wonderful getaway

The place was amazing! Nice, quiet getaway for my husband, daughter, dog and myself. It wa quiet with the sound of nature. We enjoyed the patio watching the cows and deer during the day while at night listening to the sounds of the frogs. The beds were super comfortable and all the amenities of home away from home. Thank you for allowing us to stay in this paradise.

Out of the way Weekend

We wanted an out of the way, inexpensive alternative to camping and this was great! We will definitely stay again. A little spartan, but it fits the price range.

Enjoyed staying here. There were some slight inconveniences. Lost power the 2nd day to half the container. Outside could have been cleaned up better. But fun place to stay.

Great experience. Peaceful and serene. Close to town. If you are going to stay here, just make note there is no microwave. Not an issue at all but plan for it. We will definitely stay here again.

Sheets were Dirty

Let me just say I am 68 yrs old & have been using VRBO for about 30 yrs. Never had a bad experience till now & never given a negative review. First of all it needs to be in the listing that the toilet is a Composting Toilet. I understand the concept of that however it needs to be in the listing. When I got ready to go to bed the sheets had not been changed out from the previous occupant. I slept on the top sheet & wrapped up with a towel. If you want to watch TV there are not any comfortable chairs. It has 2 Straight up Ladder Back Chairs that are not comfortable to set in. Or you can sit on the floor or bed. I was booked for 2 nights but I was gone by 8:00 the following morning. Stayed there about 14 hrs. I did reach out to the owner on Saturday & his response was. I will speak to the cleaner to see what's going on & sorry for your inconvenience. That's it. I did reach out to VRBO & they were very kind. All they can do is send a email to the owner. So I have waited 3 days & since the owner has not responded back to me I am posting my review. Again I hate to give a negative review but in this case I had no choice.

Amazing and unique getaway

My husband and I stayed here while we were in the area for a wedding. The property is so unique and comfortable. There are surrounding areas to hike and also plenty of vineyards/wineries. It was nice being able to bring our dogs. We plan to go back.

Relaxation

We were in the area for a softball tournament and wanted to find somewhere relaxing to stay. This place was exactly that. We were able to spend time together just my husband and I after the games. It was clean and updated and very enjoyable. We will definitely stay again!

Tranquil escape!

This was such a great! It was everything it promises - beautifully set up, comfortable, and peaceful. It is off the main road down a driveway that is very loose gravel. We loved the outside stone fireplace and double hammock with view of the pond. The host was available and quick to respond.
