This unique home started as a 20’ shipping container. We insulated and paneled the interior in pine shiplap. The outside is clad with cedar siding with spacing to allow the original container to still be seen. Entry is through the original container doors. We removed the steel panels from the doors and replaced them with picturesque full glass. The fun rooftop deck is surrounded by a custom cable railing system and lit with fully color-adjustable LED lights under the rail that gives the deck a beautiful glow at night. The deck is accessed by an alternating step stairway.

House was not what we were expecting at all! Some improvement needed. Cabinets need paint, pillows were really bad. Also, cleaning agent was to strong when we opened the door and no extra toilet paper.

Overall Very Fair Experience

The location was great overall. A little out of the way of what I was expecting. But it was very neat. The pictures on Vrbo are probably when the property was new, some of the items and furniture have some wear and tear with years and use. But I felt safe with the padlock, even with the bed close to the door. It took me a while to figure out the controls to the air conditioner. The outdoor top area was very pretty & comfortable, but I wasn't expecting the stairs to be as steep and patterned as they were. So I took caution climbing up and down the stairs. Bathroom was clean and well-stocked.

Quiet and clean

I was in town to see my family and wanted to stay away close to town. Perfect place to relax and rest. Small so no more than two can stay. Perfect for my time.
