About this property

Cabernet Cottage on Water at Monroe Bay Winery, tiny container cottage

The space
This Tiny House Container measures 8 ft x 20 ft and boasts 160 sqft of living space. Blending indoor luxury with the natural beauty of the farmland, this Tiny House Container is designed to create a harmonious connection. The container features 2 large doors – the container doors at the end and a French Door with screens on the side. Inside, you'll find a well-appointed kitchenette, full bathroom, and a sofa/day bed that serves as both a couch and a pull-out bed for two people. Instructions are provided. Many individuals and couples love the space. While you can have a child it gets tight quickly and we do not recommend it for young children < 2 years old. Enjoy a meal or a glass of wine in the Adirondack chairs on the porch facing the farmland, or take a stroll to the nearby winery and waterfront.
Guest access
Guest can check in on their on with an access key. You can park in front of the end of the container in our parking area. You can bring your bike and Colonial Beach is <1 mile away to walk or bike or take your car and explore. There is a kayak on the property you can launch and take down the Monroe Bay or bring your own SUP or boat.
Other things to note
The Cabernet Cottage is on the property of Monroe Bay Winery that is open as a tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays from noon - 5pm and for other events. You are welcome to check hours and any fun events happening during your visit by looking on Monroe Bay Winery main site under "Calendar". During weekends, most guest come to the barn and enjoy a glass or wine and meet the staff and owners of the winery. We encourage all guests to come be part of the family and experience. Those that visit during the weekday typically have the entire winery and land essentially to themselves. Some guest stay to themselves in their own indoor and outdoor space or explore Colonial Beach or the recreational opportunities around.
You are diagonal to the barn which is about 25 feet away and parking is directly in front of end bathroom door. The large container doors on far end can be opened and has a magnetic screen that clips to the metal container and opens to grassy field to give you some privacy and enjoyable outdoor space. You are around 100 feet from water front per Chesapeake Bay Act regulations :) We are a working farm so you will find tractor, trailers and other equipment around the property. The land you will be staying at is part of James Monroe (5th US president) birthplace farm and the adjacent 80 acres has a museum and farm house replica you can hike to and visit.
So you a Wine, Outdoor or History lover this place is for you :)
