this is the 2nd time we have stayed here. It is very quiet. It has a great outdoor entertaining area. Ellen was our contact and she always answered all texts right away. We will more than likely stay again next year when we come back for the Sherwood Faire.
Would definitely stay here again. Love the crates and the patio. Owner thought of everything plus went above and beyond. Great location. Little town of Bastrop was quaint place to visit and location good for Round Top. Can’t wait to go back. Super host!
A great place to stay! This home is tucked away in the beautiful pine trees, but still close to everything in Bastrop. It was clean, charmingly decorated, and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and more. The large, covered outdoor area was our favorite place to relax and visit. The tabletop heaters were perfect for the cool evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we can stay again every time we visit Bastrop.
We were really needing a time to get away as a family before we got in full swing with school schedules, etc… this place was great. Definitely hot in August, but really appreciated the cooled A/C in the remodeled crates. Glamping in style with lots of room to stretch out and enjoy nature. We used the small kitchen along with the grill to prepare all our meals. Felt like home away from home. Ellen was great to respond to any inquiries we had both before our arrival and after. Highly Recommend!!!

We vacationed the area for Sherwood Forest Faire. It was easy to get Sherwood from this location. The property had a huge outdoor area for dining, cooking or socializing. There is not much space for luggage so utilize the storage they provide strategically. We left suitcases outside with no worries. Ellen communicated the entire time, from when we first booked to the day we arrived. if we needed anything she was a text away. Although we didn’t. We had everything we needed. Very quaint! Very Quiet! I would definitely vacation here again.
Incredible place don’t pass this up you won’t regret it
This place is amazing the location is so incredibly relaxing the views are breathtaking. They are so pet friendly and even installed retractable gates to help keep your fur babies contained. There are 2 shipping containers and each one is its own little piece of heaven with a bedroom and full bathroom. The shared outdoor space has everything you can think of for a family get together spacious seating bbq grill and not one but 2 table top heaters. I can’t say enough good things and I can’t wait to stay there again as it’s so close to the Rising Sun Vineyard where we were visiting
This is our 2nd time to stay here, and we've enjoyed it each time. The property is tucked away in the Pines, but super close to downtown Bastrop. It is pet friendly which is a must for us. The owner is very responsive and accommodating. The containers are comfortable and well-appointed, as is the huge deck area which is actually our favorite place to relax by the fire. Both times we've stayed here it has been in the winter, and we hope to visit again this summer. We highly recommend!

The property was great. Everything you need was there. The WiFi wasn’t that great. Also might be time to change out the frying pans. Other then that all was good.

Outdoor kitchen
We loved the container house and enjoyed our stay. It has everything you need to make your stay comfortable. I especially loved the outdoor kitchen and entertainment area!
The owners were very responsive and kind.
Simply a fantastic place to stay! The owners have thought of every little detail that would make you comfortable in your stay. From a dog bed, hiking sticks, laundry detergent, well placed charging stations, I could go on and on! Extremely well priced for all that you get with this amazing property. We will absolutely be back many more times in the future!!

Outdoor living at its best
Loved everything about my stay from the renovations done to the shipping containers to the spacious outdoor deck.
Everything you need is provided to have a nice comfortable stay! Grilled up some food and enjoyed it outside with the family. Definitely booking again!
As a couple with 3 medium/large dogs we were curious to see if we could manage being in a 40’ unit. We loved all the space outside and the unit was cozy. Even though we didn’t stay in it, it was nice to have the washer and dryer in Little Blue. The pups loved all the sights, smells, and sounds while we enjoyed the views. We would definitely stay again!
EVERYTIME we thought we didn't bring something, we found that Ellen had thought to stock it!!! ie.PLEASANT SURPRISE!!
Additionally, Ellen was the most ENGAGED hostess(owner?) ever encountered!! Again, PLEASANTLY SURPRISED!!
Very unique and beautiful place to stay. We came in the middle of summer when temperatures were getting into the triple digits. And both homes were very cool we had to turn the air down at night because it got so cold.They provide premium soaps, bottled water, soda's and accessories. Top of the line appliances with washer and dryer. The host is very friendly and treats her guest like royalty. Everything looks new and beautifully decorated.Great place if you are traveling with children over 13, two couple travelers or traveling with grandparents that would enjoy their own private cabin. Very private and secluded and a large fenced in area that you dogs can run around and play in.Only 11 miles from The Last Resort. Rebecca BiceOwner of TexasTeacups.com
The “container houses” are about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! When you drive into the property, you feel like you’re in a dreamy movie with the gorgeous pine trees surrounding you! Then you walk up a beautiful rock set of steps onto a fabulous outdoor area! It’s so spacious and a great place to relax and take in the fresh air! There are more than enough amenities for cooking outdoors, and indoors, too! The two containers allow you to have separate “living quarters”, which was perfect for my husband and his work partner for their extended stay while doing a job in Bastrop! They loved it so much, they booked a second week after a 9 night stay the first time! I cannot wait to go back when it is just my husband and myself! It’s so peaceful and the owner has put more thought into every single detail than the law should allow! I would recommend this place to everyone! It’s beyond perfect! Superhost status in my opinion all the way!
