Our time inside the container was pleasant. It was 2 adults and 1 dog staying two nights. The surrounding neighborhood contrasted with this container where we did not feel comfortable walking around the neighborhood. Most of our time outside the container was spent nearby in St. Joseph which is a quick drive. We made the most of our stay, but I would not choose to return.

We had a great time! Plenty of room to walk the dogs during the day real quick and pretty spacious for a container, we had plenty of room (2 adults, 1 large breed, 1 small breed). I think my favorite part was being just a quick drive to the next spot/fun town! We will definitely go back!

What a fun stay! Being a shipping container, I imagined it would be a tight space. But it is SUPER spacious. It feels modern, clean, and cozy. You could live like this! Plus, a great and responsive host.

We were looking for a clean, comfortable, and dog friendly place to get away for a long quiet weekend. This place was perfect for that. While the neighborhood wasn't exactly walk-the-dog welcoming, the home was very well maintained and ready for us to lounge and relax. The location was conveniently close to coffee, restaurants, and shopping, but did require a short drive. Not as secluded as we were hoping for, and as previous reviews have stated: the back of the home has no curtains. While the windows face a wooded drop-off, there was no way to block the window from someone looking in should they be on the property/deck.
