About the host
Your host
This is an owner managed property. Forest Lane Acres is our only property and is much loved by our family. Acquired in 2012, Forest Lane Acres is a 2.8-acre property that endured the catastrophic Bastrop County Complex Fire in September 2011, the most devastating wildfire in Texas history. The property witnessed the loss of its home, garage, and over 200 trees that once contributed to its lush greenery. Only nine homes remained unscathed in the Lost Pines Development, a quaint community where our property is situated.
As the new custodians of Forest Lane Acres, our mission has been centered around reviving its once vibrant landscape. In 2014, we spearheaded the planting of over 800 pine seedlings under the auspices of the Lost Pines Reforestation Program. The burgeoning pine forest you see today is a testament to our years of diligent land management and erosion control efforts.
The shipping containers and the expansive outdoor patio now stand on the site of the former house, while the covered carport occupies the location of the old three-car garage.
Now in our retirement years, we are committed to nurturing this property so it can continue to thrive for our grandchildren. It is a well loved property and it gives us immense pleasure to share this rejuvenating outdoor retreat with others who appreciate the beauty of nature.

Why they chose this property
This property presents an idyllic retreat for couples or small families who relish outdoor adventures. It boasts serene views of the pine forest from a spacious patio deck, offering an exclusive oasis of privacy - you may detect the distant hum of neighbors, but they remain unseen. The outdoor area is equipped with WIFI, allowing you to work or play on your laptop amidst nature. Pet-lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly patio, fitted with retractable screens on all openings to ensure your furry companions remain safely within sight. Inside, the property is cleverly constructed from two shipping containers, providing a compact yet cozy living space of 540 square feet. It can comfortably accommodate five adults, including a queen-sized sofa bed. Despite the limited interior space, it is well-appointed with all home comforts, albeit on a smaller scale. Larger groups may find the interior a little snug for lounging. The 1200 square-foot outdoor covered patio is perfect for larger gatherings or outdoor dining. With the inclusion of ceiling and floor fans for the summer months, and fire pit tables to cozy up during the colder months, this outdoor haven is designed for year-round enjoyment - only extreme weather conditions could dampen the outdoor experience.
What makes this property unique
The two container configuration offers two private bedrooms/bathrooms, perfect for couples or families traveling with grandparents who want to spend time together but appreciate some privacy. There is a 30amp RV spot available on request.
