About this property

The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail #7

Welcome to The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail! The perfect place to stay as you explore the beautiful Texas Hill Country and its amazing wineries, parks, shops and people. We are happy to share our special getaway with you and truly hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We are right in the middle of over 50 Texas Hill Country wineries, three of which are within walking distance: Blue Lotus Winery and Silver Dollar Winery to the east and Untamed to the west. So, whether you are looking for a quick getaway or a home base while you attend one of the many festivals and events in the surrounding areas, we are the right choice.
Our containers are arranged in pods of five surrounding majestic oak trees and lush landscaping with just enough ambient lighting to make it relaxing and comfortable. If you want to hang out, just walk over to the common area where you will find open space, chairs, a hammock, and our custom Container Retreat cornhole boards.
Our mattresses were custom handmade locally from Cantwell Mattress in San Antonio. Our shampoo, conditioner and body wash are made with 100% Pure Morocco Argan Oil and are 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free. In addition, our hand soap is made with essential oils, aloe vera, olive oil, and without parabens, phthalates, or artificial colors. We have provided everything you need in our kitchenette, including a corkscrew and wine pourer to enjoy your Texas Hill Country wine.
Couples get away, check! Girl’s weekend, check! Bachelor or Bachelorette parties, check! Whatever the occasion, we are the right choice. If you need to book larger parties, we have twelve other listings and can accommodate groups of up to thirty-two.
Photos are representative of Containers Two - Eight and décor may vary, but the layout is the same.

Container experience
Small but adequate. We got in late so it kinda bugged me that we had to make our own bed. Really need screens on the windows because it gets very humid after a shower and never goes away. Bugs come in if you open the windows. Retreat could be kept up and made cuter. There is a faded (very old) weathered material banner at the intrance. Could use some paint and work on the bathroom door. Still a fun unique experience.

Cozy Closet
Very cute little room! Nice linens , bed was a little firm for my comfort level. The room decor was nice. Was a little small for maneuvering around each other. The price was reasonable for our stay.

My wife and I had a great stay at the Container Retreat. The space was probably a bit small for us, but the containers themselves were clean and well-stocked and we thoroughly enjoyed the hammock and other outdoor appurtenances.
