New Year Family trip
We thoroughly enjoyed the container home. Everything was wonderful. We went to Biltmore one day and skiing at Sugar Mountain the next day. Perfect location. Felt very safe and comfortably. Enjoyed being able to walk next door to Hillmans brewery for delicious food. Thank you for sharing your beautiful/ fun home. We will definitely be back.

Container Stay
Originally, we liked the novelty of staying in a container home; practically, we loved our stay and enjoyed it beyond what we expected. The proximity to local breweries and area attractions was fantastic. My husband and I, along with our kids (and the dog) loved the space, which was bright and clean.

Fantastic little house
This was a great house with surprisingly large, open rooms. Our family had plenty of space and we loved the back patio area, with the large grassy area and creek access. It’s not fenced in but still great for the dogs, if you have dogs that will stay with you without a fence. The kitchen was very well stocked with nice cooking utensils, pots, pans, and mixing bowls. It’s a very unique house with sliding doors instead of windows, the doors let in a lot of natural light. We were visiting family in the area, and it’s a great place to stay for east access to Black Mountain, Asheville, and Boone. We loved it and will probably stay there again!

Cute
It is a cute place in a goof location. My only complaint is the lawn mower Sunday morning. Something I didn't realize in the pictures is the toilets are not only next to the large windows but facing the road. The lawnmowers may have gotten an eye full that he wasn't expecting.

So much fun!
The house was awesome! We had more than enough amenities. This home was stocked with anything you might need. Whether it was toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish detergent, towels and blankets. Thank you for not being stingy with any of these things. We would love to return in the future.
