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!
The container was very clean, had everything we needed and stayed very cool when so hot outside. The deck upstairs was nice to watch stars and morning sunrises! Great place!!!
I arrived. The combination didn’t work to get in. I tried twice that day and once the next morning still didn’t work there was a phone number there answering machine no help on the way home. I got a text message to try another number. I was long gone.
We truly enjoyed our stay! Everything was perfect ~ clean, cozy and comfortable! The staff was very friendly and responsive! Will definitely be back!!

Very clean, everything we needed. Except microwave quit working. Would've been nice to get anotherone quickly but it was Saturday afternoon when we noticed it. Everything else worked great, very clean.
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
This place was awesome ! Beautiful and comfortable with beautiful view of the mountains ! Enjoyed the rooftop sunsets ! Quiet at night. Perfect spot for our visit to the surrounding area of Alpine, Marfa , and Fort Davis !
Loved staying in this container home. It was exactly like the pictures but better in person. So much fun watching the sunrise and sunsets up on the roof. Perfect location to call home as we took day trips to all the surrounding sites. Unique and fabulous experience!!!
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!
