Great little container house with a cozy vibe. Nice layout and bright windows, but still compact. Stayed cool when it was hot, which we loved. Simple, clean, and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.

The container was 100% as advertised. It feels smaller than a normal hotel room but that wasn't surprising given the listing. The property is in a good location in close proximity to the wineries we were going to. Very good communication throughout the process from the owner.

Container was cozy and utilized space well. Very clean and well stocked. No screens on windows or patio doors which would have been nice during the wonderful weather.
