Loved my experience at the modern shipping container! Was a great for my partner, who loves camping and myself who wants all the comforts of home, which the modern shipping container had, but in a gorgeous outdoor setting away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
This is an awesome little cabin built out of a shipping container. This thing is so cool! It sits on the host’s property which is a beautiful piece of land. The host was also great to deal with and very responsive.
This was a great get away! The location is great if you like a more country feel! The inside is very nice and feels like a home. I will say, the doors on the garage did not have a tint, so at night, could be seen through. This was not an issue for me but, I assume for others this could be more of an issue! Overall a great place to stay and I will be back!

We cant say enough about our stay here. Accommodations are accurate as described online and extremely comfortable. Hosts were extremely kind and tiny house was equipped with everything you could need. We look forward to staying again!
Such a cute place. Everything was great. My only issue which might not bother others is the garage door not having a way to cover it. I work late and going into the kitchen area late at night I felt uneasy
My husband, myself, and our two year old son stayed here and we absolutely loved it! It was even better in person than the pictures showed. The location is great and feels so peaceful. All of the decor and interior was so cool and comfortable. The only suggestions I have are that it would've been nice to have a curtain or something to get privacy inside once the sun goes down. Also it did feel like the appliances were so high tech that it kind of clashed with the aesthetic of the cabin. These are very small details and didn't really impact our stay. We really look forward to staying again in the near future.
I ended up having back surgery the week of my stay. Anyone who knows the VA knows it’s difficult to get an appointment. I conveyed this when I found out about 2 almost 3 weeks prior to my stay. Submitted documentation and two days prior to the stay, the host decided to tell me that “if he can rebook it after I cancel I will give you a partial refund”. I understood there was a no refund policy but a medical issue is pretty serious. Not to mention hurricane Helene was barreling through Georgia. As much as I wanted to stay I simply couldn’t make it. To anyone who wants to book, MAKE SURE REGARDLESS OF ANY SITUATION THAT ARISES, YOU CAN MAKE THIS STAY. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A REFUND FOR ANY REASON.
