Stillwater - A Lakeside Shipping Container Home


Stillwater is a luxury shipping container home made by Honomobo. It sits lakeside on Thorn Lake and looks out at the granite peaks of Thorodin mountain.
The space
An hour from Denver, a million miles from the grind. Discover a stunningly designed dwelling on the idyllic shores of Thorn Lake, featuring a brand new eco friendly build spanning 1530 square feet and situated on a picturesque wooded 2.5 acre lakefront lot. The home, surrounded by Aspen trees, is made from 5 upcycled shipping containers, completely renovated with luxury interiors, and built by the modern high end modular builder, Honomobo. The lake facing wall is entirely glass windows with stunning views from the living room, patio, and dining area of the granite cliffs of Thorodin Mountain and the quiet waters of the lake. The lake is stocked with trout for our fishing guests.

There are two frisbee golf disk golf baskets to play on the property. We have the golf games Putter Ball and Chippo to play. You can play ping pong on the combo ping pong/dining table. There are over 60 board and card games as well as a collection of puzzles to play. And for the kids there are Legos, Matchbox car tracks and a marble run.

There are three bedrooms thoughtfully designed in modern decor to give you a comfortable, beautiful place to rest at 9000 feet. A study in the center of the house provides a spot to work and use the 50mb internet. There are two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one spacious in-suite master with a shower.

A fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, an island for cooking and hanging out, and of course - views - are set just off from the the dining area.

The large marble dining table with ample seating for 8 doubles as a ping pong table for indoor entertainment.

Furnishings from Royal Botania, Blu Dot, Design Within Reach, Restoration Hardware, and CB2 are mixed with vintage and handcrafted pieces by the owners, who are also woodworkers and art lovers.

Sticking to the upcycled theme of Stillwater, nearly all the furniture has been thoughtfully chosen, either upcycled or crafted using lumber we milled from the pine trees cut to clear the build site. All surrounding landscaping is native.

Artwork accents nearly every wall to showcase regional artists and vintage prints showing the beauty of the area, with themes of water, vegetation, earth, and cycling.

The nearly 500 foot outdoor patio as well as stoned terraces give multiple options for relaxing and enjoying each others’ company in luxury outdoor furniture.
Guest access
Guests are free to explore the property and private lake - we’ve placed nooks in parts of the property for you to relax and enjoy the outdoors. You can use our paddle boards and canoe or bring your own. Bring your fishing gear and try to catch rainbow trout in the stocked lake. Explore the property looking for wildlife or wildflowers. Or just find a perfect spot to enjoy the views and a morning coffee or evening glass of wine.
Other things to note
Take advantage of the discounted rate for the debut of Stillwater. The modular containers will be delivered and installed in mid August. The property will then be available in October.

Great house for a vacation
My fiancé and I stayed at the container house for 3 nights. The house had a lot of amenities and was very comfortable. We saw lots of wildlife (including moose!), a great place to see the stars at night, and had good internet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect retreat!
My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a weekend getaway. We marveled at how gorgeous and perfect every aspect was. The views are spectacular and the inside is very stylish and modern. The furnishings were all super comfortable and welcoming. One of the best perks was the barrel sauna. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. For being just 30-45 min from the front range, it felt like being much more remote and secluded in the mountains. We definitely plan to come back with a larger group as it seems ideal for kids as well!

Great remote location and cool house
This place is in a great location-remote and isolated but still near nice restaurants in Nederland and gambling action in Blackhawk. The site is on a lake with a cool rock formation and the neighboring houses are screened by trees. The house is a supercool container house that is decorated like an art gallery and fully furnished with cooking stuff and games,etc. great outdoor patio with fire pit and a sauna too. Highly recommend

Daniel and Jenny were amazing hosts who thought of every detail to make our trip memorable and stress free. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the comfort of this elegantly designed home, with plenty of room for effective to spread out and enjoy. Highly recommend!

Mountains, lake, moose, peace
This is such a great place to come with family because there’s so much to see and do if you want action, but so calm and peaceful if you want to relax and soak up nature. You can hike to a nearby mountain, canoe or paddle board the lake, explore the state park nearby or relax in the hammock or in the living room with its gorgeous views. So comfortable and clean and well thought out. I’ll come again!
