About this property

New! Southwest Shipping Container-In Alpine

This stunning Container Home will not disappoint! With 1 bedroom and an inflatable floor mattress, it sleeps uptimes to 4 people. Features a super comfy Tuft and Needle queen mattress. The kitchen is outfitted in granite countertops. The rooftop deck is a great place to stargaze or enjoy a morning coffee. It boasts a full size, custom-tiled shower and spacious bathroom to complete this beautiful home. Located right outside of Alpine-2 minutes from downtown.

This unique home started as a 40` shipping container. Our build company, CargoHome, insulates and panels the interior in pine shiplap and trim it out with fine craftsmanship. The outside is clad with cedar siding, spaced to allow the original container to still be seen. The fun rooftop deck is surrounded by a custom cable railing system. LED lights inside and a super-quiet, efficient mini-split AC unit makes this a comfortable, energy efficient space.

The house and rooftop deck are all yours!

Great, safe neighborhood in the country just south of Alpine. 4 minutes to downtown Alpine. 1 hour to Big Bend National Park.

Absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful home! It was very clean, had everything we needed for a 3 day weekend. We brought our Shelby Cobra in a trailer so we could ride it through the Davis Mountains and to Terlingua etc. it was the perfect spot in between both with room to park our trailer. Hosts were very friendly and communicated throughout the process. We will definitely be back!

Alpine is a central location and this tiny home was every thing we needed in a home away from home. The view was beautiful and the owners were very accommodating. We visited Big Bend and several other surrounding attractions. If you’re thinking about taking the trip, do it!

Absolutely beautiful must stay for Big Bend

The property was absolutely perfect for our trip to Big Bend. Alpine was a wonderful place to stay. Our container house was spotless, so beautiful on the inside and definitely met all of our needs. The rooftop deck was spectacular for star gazing. We would use this property any season for any reason you might be in the area. We loved our stay

Tiny trailer

Don’t expect to cook but there is a microwave and a tiny fridge for snacks. Cozy in the cold with great heaters that can be dialed in to the exact temperature you want. Great little place to hang out and look at the sunset and stars!
