Master class in tiny living
I've always wanted to stay in a container home and this tiny gem was a perfect first-time lodging. You could tell from the pictures online that the owners had great style but you dont really appreciate all the little touches until you get there. It was small but not cramped. Everything we needed was easy to access and even with nearby neighbors it was very quiet at night. I would absolutely book this property again.
