The area was nice
Overall the property was good. We just didn't have wifi so no tv or phone. The property does say no cleaning fee and I should have paid attention to that as the place was not as clean. Hand/finger prints on doors and furniture that could easily be wiped off, hair in shower walls and under the bed/couch area was so dusty and found underwear that could easily be swept, also found a broken iron and the remote batteries were not good. The area was nice and peaceful and loved the idea of it. The property owner was fast to communicate with and appreciate that to inform her of the situation after we left.

Quiet night in a rural setting
I enjoyed my night in a well designed container house. I found everything that I needed and it was clean and well organized. In the Texas heat, I especially appreciated being under a big shade tree!

A little time away
We have been interested in tiny houses for awhile and this was a good introduction. Everything is just as advertised and communication with the host was timely and responsive. The bed was comfortable, particularly after our hosts provided an extra blanket for the cool evenings. Nice hot shower and provisions for a comfortable stay. Be sure to explore the nearby market, coffee shop and tea house, crafts, and much more!

Amazing
This was our first time staying in a tiny house. We enjoyed out stay so much we most likely will be looking for a tiny house every where we go. It was clean, updated, and quiet. I was nervous that the Murphy bed would be uncomfortable but I was pleasantly surprised. The host sent very detailed instructions on the rental and were very helpful.
