About this property
A Shipping Container Experience
No Pet/Cleaning Fee!! Riverside Hideout is a thoughtfully constructed shipping container home tucked into the woods & hills near the Tuscarawas River. Located near Tow Path trails, HOF, Amish Country, Atwood Lake, Tappan Lake, Historic Zoar, Swiss Festival.
The space
The container is equipped with a private Queen bed and spacious unique bathroom. The fully stocked kitchen is complete with a hot plate, toaster oven, Keurig plus coffee and a large mini refrigerator, grill plus propane. The bar top rests upon an old bicycle frame. The container offers Paid wifi but no TV. It has all of the other modern amenities! There are books, magazines, board games and cards!
••••••TAKE NOTE—-OHIO WINTER!!••••
The driveway is DEEP gravel and some call it steep. This isn’t New York Folks. I do not recommend a car from Fast and Furious 1-4, it likely won’t make it up the drive. Winter months in Ohio are tough. I work hard to maintain it. I recommend 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. Or at least someone who knows how to drive in an Ohio Winter!
The drive is best traveled at the rate of Go during any season!!
Heating source is baseboard. Cooling source is air conditioners. The air conditioners are also dehumidifiers and mostly run all the time. Please see house rules regarding check out and the heating/cooling.
There is a propane grill and a fire pit. You must bring wood. Or Firewood is for sale, $8 a bundle. I need to know before your stay.
Guest access
You will have complete access to the whole container and the immediate surroundings.
The space immediately around the Container is yours to explore.
Absolutely no parties.
No overnight guests past the 4 person occupancy.
Fires must only be within the fire ring. Please extinguish fire with water and never leave it unattended.
NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CONTAINER.
Please be nice to my bathroom door, it is 100 years old.
The Container is cleaned and linens are washed with Melaleuca. We do not provide paper towels, but several reusable towels.
Hot Tub Use
Follow the Warning Labels.
Be an adult.
Please do not turn up the temperature. It takes hours for it to elevate.
Please try not to bring rocks into the tub
If you spill a beverage inside the tub, report it so I know how to clean the tub.
When you remove cover, take it off towards the container and lay it up against the container.
911 For Emergencies
DOGS: They are welcome! They MUST remain leashed while outside and CANNOT be left unattended in the container. You must clean up after your dog inside and outside. There are other dogs around and the road is close. You will be held responsible for damage done by your dog. I have provided a poop scooper.
