Cozy with Views

We loved staying at the container house! It was well stocked and our host was so responsive! The space was big enough for our family to have our own space (2 adults, 3 kids) and the views are spectacular!

Container Home : It was great!

We really enjoyed our time. The layout works well, and all the rooms not only flowed well but were what one would expect from a much larger traditional home. Views of the valley and distant mountains were beautiful at sunset and sunrise. And only 1 mile from downtown.

Excellent Host

Host was very responsive and easy to work with and the little house is just as described. I really appreciated being able to get laundry done and have space to relax. There's a nice hot shower, and kitchen had all the items you would need to prepare any food. Super easy checkin process. Just be aware Google Maps will tell you to turn right onto 9th and really it is a left.

Container Stay in Salmon

Great views of the mountains to the east. Cozy property that is easy to get to and only a short drive to downtown. The only downside, albeit temporary, was noise from an adjacent new home build and the contractor using the Container Home's driveway to unload materials. That just seemed a bit presumptuous to us as guests.

The view and location of KarKen was outstanding! The bed was so comfortable after a very long day of travel. Everything we could possibly need was available, even farm fresh eggs. We will definitely be back.

Gorgeous view and convenient location

Place had everything our little family of four needed and a gorgeous Mountain View. Location was great and central for us as we had several activities in and out of town. I would definitely stay here again and recommend. Owner had great and swift communication. Also, fresh eggs were a great touch.
