About this property
A Shipping Container Experience
No Pet/Cleaning Fee!! Riverside Hideout is a thoughtfully constructed shipping container home tucked into the woods & hills near the Tuscarawas River. Located near Tow Path trails, HOF, Amish Country, Atwood Lake, Tappan Lake, Historic Zoar, Swiss Festival.
The space
The container is equipped with a private Queen bed and spacious unique bathroom. The fully stocked kitchen is complete with a hot plate, toaster oven, Keurig plus coffee and a large mini refrigerator, grill plus propane. The bar top rests upon an old bicycle frame. The container offers Paid wifi but no TV. It has all of the other modern amenities! There are books, magazines, board games and cards!
••••••TAKE NOTE—-OHIO WINTER!!•••• The driveway is DEEP gravel and some call it steep. This isn’t New York Folks. I do not recommend a car from Fast and Furious 1-4, it likely won’t make it up the drive. Winter months in Ohio are tough. I work hard to maintain it. I recommend 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. Or at least someone who knows how to drive in an Ohio Winter! The drive is best traveled at the rate of Go during any season!!
Heating source is baseboard. Cooling source is air conditioners. The air conditioners are also dehumidifiers and mostly run all the time. Please see house rules regarding check out and the heating/cooling.
There is a propane grill and a fire pit. You must bring wood. Or Firewood is for sale, $8 a bundle. I need to know before your stay.
Guest access You will have complete access to the whole container and the immediate surroundings.
The space immediately around the Container is yours to explore. Absolutely no parties. No overnight guests past the 4 person occupancy. Fires must only be within the fire ring. Please extinguish fire with water and never leave it unattended. NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CONTAINER. Please be nice to my bathroom door, it is 100 years old.
The Container is cleaned and linens are washed with Melaleuca. We do not provide paper towels, but several reusable towels.
Hot Tub Use Follow the Warning Labels. Be an adult. Please do not turn up the temperature. It takes hours for it to elevate. Please try not to bring rocks into the tub If you spill a beverage inside the tub, report it so I know how to clean the tub. When you remove cover, take it off towards the container and lay it up against the container. 911 For Emergencies

Love the privacy and that pets were allowed! The layout of the container house was very functional and it was decorated perfectly! I have T-Mobile and had 5G service so no problem navigating or communicating with the host.
The living space was very cozy. It was pet-friendly and the owner charged us a reasonable price for our pet. The owner provided everything we needed, such as stove, kettle, pots, utensils and there was even ice in the fridge. We had a great , memorable weekend get-away.

Liked: Location
It was cute and small but had the basic needs.However, the traffic noise was loud when outside both on porch and in the hot tub. There was a lack of towels-only 2 and we used those to shower so had to scrounge up some old beach towels from the car to use after the hot tub. Communication was also not good,no direct response to our comments were ever was given to us when we used the app.This was our first Vrbo experience so maybe that’s expected? We enjoyed bringing our tiny dog with us.

Hi Linda,
I looked through your messages and apologize—I didn’t see any questions that needed addressing, as I try to provide a good amount of detail ahead of time.
I manage five rentals, work full time, and raise two kids, but I do make it a priority to respond whenever something comes up.
Regarding the towels, I wish you would have asked—they’re located under the sink cabinet.
Thank you,
The container was exactly as advertised. Quiet, set back from the road, and private. We were still very close to the restaurant that we ordered takeout from. Check in and out was super easy. The hot tub was amazing. Everything was clean. Host has her phone number written down so you can call if you have any problems.
We stayed one evening so we could attend the ALIVE fest at Atwood lake which is near by the property. The place was just as pictured and described in the listing. We had a great time. It was just what we needed.
What a wonderful place! I needed a few days away and this was perfect for me. I spent the first night watching the meteor shower from the hot tub and then a lovely nights sleep at this quiet property. The host was very responsive and had such great suggestions for local spots to visit. The driveway is steep, as described, but was easily drivable in ny suv. Cant wait to return!
My wife and I shared our 14 year wedding anniversary here. It is an amazing experience for sure. Loved the no tv or internet (if you don't want it). Great place to relax and enjoy the hard work and love poured into this container. Loved the hot tub and the living space was layed out nice with good finishes. It serves as a great little retreat for many nearby activities and towns. Definitely takes a top 5 spot on places we have loved and plan to stay again. Great host that definitely puts in a lot of time and effort to make her guests feel welcome and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for any length of stay.
My Mom, her dog, and I had a wonderful stay at the shipping container. It was such a peaceful place to spend a night on our cross country road trip. When we travel, we look for places that are a bit isolated, have running water, and are near cool spots to go for walks. This property met all of our criteria and was beautiful on top of it!
Very beautiful scenery. Shopping, food, adventures were all close by. The driveway was a little bit suspicious but the host, Ryann did warn us about that and we were prepared with 4w drive.
