Weekend getaway with great views
Spent a long weekend at the Container House and really loved the location. Laura is the kindest hostess.
The view is amazing. The Container Home is cute, surprisingly spacious, and with fun decor. We were even fortunate to get a glimpse of the resident deer. We enjoyed our short time there and would certainly stay again.

Amazing July 4th weekend!
My husband and 3 small dogs stayed at Laura and Steves property over July 4th weekend and it was everything we hoped for and beyond! Laura and Steve were great hosts, making sure we had everything we needed while being very respectful of our privacy. We had wonderful fireworks show from the windows and sitting outside. The property was clean, had everything we needed and we loved the decorations. We grilled every night, sat under the stars and also got to meet their cute tortoise! We would recommend this stay a million times over and hope to go back one day!
