About this property

The Container Retreat by Selah Place

Welcome to The Container Retreat by Selah Place, a bold off-grid sanctuary set on 100 private acres. Thoughtfully designed for complete privacy, it offers open space, stillness, and a deep escape from the outside world.

Unwind in your private hot tub, rinse off in the outdoor rain shower, and settle into nights filled with stargazing and stillness. With no neighbors and no distractions, this is your space to fully disconnect and reset.

Curated add-on experiences available upon request.

Private. Open. Completely yours.

The Glamp Container is designed for those who want space, quiet, and a deeper connection to the outdoors. Surrounded by wide-open land, the experience feels removed, peaceful, and intentionally simple.

Inside, you will find a cozy and thoughtfully designed space with clean finishes and everything needed for a comfortable stay. The layout is minimal and functional, allowing you to relax without distraction.

Step outside and the experience expands, with your own outdoor living setup designed for slow mornings, open-air meals, and evenings under the stars.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The host is amazing! He responded to my questions quickly and thoroughly. Any concerns I had after arriving were handled efficiently. You will not be disappointed with the sleeping accommodations. The king sized mattress felt better than the one my husband and I use at home! This glamping container is surrounded by woods, with the opportunity to view wildlife from the sliding glass door that opens onto a back porch. Our nicest surprise was a hot tub on the front porch! It was the perfect ending to the evening before we headed back home.
