Very beautiful property and place. Hosts were very responsive and kind. We loved our stay.
Loved our stay! We had great weather and hung out on the large deck in the sun! This is one of our favorite places to stay, comes with everything you need for a cozy weekend! Quiet and relaxing! Great hosts!
We loved the peaceful surroundings of the tiny home in the form of a shipping container. Daniel was very responsive to any questions we had, and we found the property to be surprisingly well equipped, given the small size!
This was a cute and relaxing cabin. The inside was clean and nicely decorated. Host was very nice and helped out with the cold temperatures. I booked this place for a weekend getaway with my partner, and we were not disappointed.
The property was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. The owners were very friendly and great a responding to messages in a timely manner. My husband and i will definitely be keeping this as a favorite for getaways.
We loved waking up to the beautiful sunrise! This property is just a gem right outside the city! Love the nature, water and the container itself is so cool. I really appreciate the body wash and shampoo in the shower, something I always forget to bring! It was a very relaxing stay!
My fiancé and I book this little gem as much as we can to escape the city and just relax. Perfect location for us. We enjoyed a sunny day on the deck, grilled dinner and enjoyed the water views! I love the string lights on the patio at night! Daniel is an excellent host and is very quick to respond. We ended our weekend with the local Rooster stopping by to say Hi! Looking forward to our next stay!
This is a fantastic quiet and secluded cabin overlooking a small Lake. I got this from my wife, she's writing her fifth book and she needed a small getaway to clear her mind. The owners of the cabin were super accommodating and very friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better situation. I will definitely be renting this cabin again soon.
Shipping Container was small but a unique experience to stay. Very quiet, comfortable, and lots of extras! The little lake wasn’t up to par but maybe it was just the time of year.
The property was beautiful, quiet, and the hosts were kind and accommodating. This is a great place to decompress that's far enough yet not too far from home.
Great quiet spot to stay for First Monday or any other occasion in or around the Terrell area. Very smooth process and great prompt communication with host. High recommended.
We loved the unique little get away. It was very cozy.
So very sorry for everyone around in the surrounding area due to a tornado coming through there a few weeks before and destroying the huge trees around there.
We would love to come back again some time!
This property is surely a diamond in the rough! We were in town for a wedding, and didn’t want to stay in a hotel. Though we had never stayed in a container home we just gave it a try and when I tell you it was breathtakingly beautiful and serene, I truly mean it. It was so peaceful, secluded, & surrounded by nature. The layout of the inside was simple, but we had everything we needed. The decor was simplistic but cool. They had progress pics of the building of the container home which was a neat touch. The bathroom was one my favorite parts… well the window by shower looked out into the woods, and you could even see the lake…. Ahhh breathtakingly gorgeous! Chefs kiss. Don’t hesitate to rent here.
Don’t think twice.

This shipping container is so impressive! The best layout, all the details covered, glorious deck overlooking the water! They nailed it! Perfect for a weekend getaway. Very convenient location and easy to access, the property feels very private and peaceful. Cannot wait to stay again!
This was a fun little place. We enjoyed the peacefulness and the quaint space. The bed was not very comfortable. A mattress topper might be a good idea. The only other thing I would change is to put a blind on the bathroom window. Taking a shower was very exposed. Overall, it was just what we needed to be away from home at a quiet place for a couple of nights! Thank you for allowing us to stay.
Checkin process is easy, owner is very communicative, property is bigger and nicer than ever the listing can show, and it is so peaceful. The place was clean and you have more space than you’d think. The hammock is peaceful and the deck has a nice view of the creek/water. You’ll be comfortable and it’s a nice escape especially from Dallas. Highly recommend.
My girlfriend and I wanted to get out of the city and this place was perfect. The container was so beautiful and unique I’ve never seen anything like it. The host was excellent and accommodating. It actually stormed one of the nights and it was the most relaxing sound. More spacious than expected, has a great deck to hang out on that overlooks the water. It was exactly what we needed.
