The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail
Smart stays in the heart of Texas Wine Country—everything you need, nothing you don’t.
Discover the Texas Hill Country without paying for amenities you’ll never use. At The Container Retreat, we focus on what matters most: comfort, convenience, and location.
🍷 Unbeatable Location: Surrounded by more than 50 wineries, with Blue Lotus and Untamed within walking distance and Silver Dollar just a 1 minute drive. Festivals, parks, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and shops are just minutes away.
🐾 Dog-Friendly Options: Containers #11–13 welcome dogs. Containers #1–10 remain pet-free for guests who prefer it.
Dog Policy at The Container Retreat: We’re excited to welcome your furry friends in select containers! To ensure a positive experience for all guests, please note the following guidelines:
🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and placed in their crate whenever left alone in the container (though we know you’ll want them by your side as you explore).
🐕 All dogs must remain on leash when outside the container.
💧 Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Failure to pick up dog waste will result in a $50 fee. Please dispose of doggie bags in the dumpster, not inside the container.
💲 A $35 pet fee per visit applies, with a maximum of two dogs (up to 50 lbs each).
🛋️ If your dog will be on furniture, please bring your own blanket to protect the space.
Thank you for helping us keep The Container Retreat comfortable and enjoyable for everyone!
🌳 Relaxed Setting: Our 40' containers are arranged in pods of four beneath oak trees, with soft lighting and a welcoming common area featuring chairs, a hammock, and custom cornhole boards.
🛏️ Quality Essentials: Locally handcrafted Cantwell mattresses, vegan and cruelty-free bath products, and eco-friendly hand soap.
🍴 Simple Convenience: Kitchenettes stocked with everything you need—including a corkscrew and wine pourer—so you can enjoy your Hill Country finds with ease.

The container was nice and right sized for our stay. We had everything we needed. The location is nice and a good central starting point for a day in the hill country.

Thank you for staying with us and for sharing your review, Michelle!
Last minute trip for the night to the wineries on the way back from our beach trip and this was a perfect little spot to stay! The container is well stocked and the location is lovely set back in the trees. Will definitely keep it in mind the next time we come through.

The container was clean and neat. It is perfectly located for the wineries that we enjoy (William Chris, Lost Draw, Lewis, Hye Meadow, French Connection, etc).

Thank you so much for booking with us and for sharing your review!
This was a great spot to stay with our pup! Close to fabulous wineries and food. Perfect for the quick trip to Texas Wine Country when you don't want to spend a arm and a leg and want to bring you pup!
Two thumbs up!

Eileen, it was an absolute pleasure to host you! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
Very clean and adorable container house with easy access to 290 Wineries, Johnson City, Hye, and Fredericksburg. Perfect location to avoid the crowds of Fredericksburg!

Thank you for your review, Rachel! We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay.
My friend and I were totally impressed by the amenities. There were some weird cleaning things that made it seem like they were in a hurry and missed some details, but I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
We decided to do a getaway for this 4th of July. Fireworks are stressful for my hubby and our furry child. I can honestly say we will be doing this again. Little fireworks, relaxation and peacefulness! Our stay was great, we enjoyed every minute. Thank You Container Retreat for hosting us!
