Unique & cozy
We had an amazing stay at this charming container home! Despite its small size, it was thoughtfully designed and incredibly cozy. The kitchen was well-equipped and even came with fresh eggs from the owners' chickens—such a lovely touch. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The location by the river was stunning and provided a beautiful, tranquil setting. Everything was clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend for a peaceful, unique getaway!

Hidden Gem
The property is amazing on a working farm. My dogs loved the open space and the visits from Frisco, the loving pup on the farm. The owners were wonderful, even providing a dozen of fresh eggs. Their field of sunflowers was in full bloom, it was my zen.

Wonderful retreat!
My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Elder Farm. The container house is unique, welcoming and perfectly appointed. We got lucky with spring like temps at the end of December and were able to take walks each day on the farm and sit by the river, it was relaxing and so peaceful. We loved sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and enjoyed the view. At night we soaked in the hot tub and did some star gazing. I was able to cook nice meals easily in the well appointed kitchen. If you were to have a problem or a simple question the host are readily available, friendly and hospitable. We definitely plan on returning this year.

Unique stay!!
We found the container house to be a fun stay for our family of 4. It was a little snug- for our two teens but we had a good time. The deck upstairs was fun and the view were great. River was a fun to play in! Owners were responsive to the couple of hiccups we had and did their best to fix it for us.
