We really enjoy finding unique stays, and the Riverside Hideout shipping container is a gem! Tiny but mighty! Ryann is a great host with great communication. We also appreciated that there was no tv and wifi was optional so we could intentionally disconnect a bit. There’s no shortage of things to do even in the Hideout. Plenty of board games, guestbooks to peruse, the hidden dollar hunt :) We enjoyed everything- the hot tub, a cozy fire in the fire pit, morning Yahtzee with the giant dice on the deck and a hot cuppa keurig coffee… We had 2 days and one night for our mini retreat. We also went kayaking on the Tusc. using NTR livery in Bolivar, lunch at Canal Street Diner there too, Miller’s Creamery for ice cream in New Philadelphia, the Age of Steam Roundhouse museum in Sugarcreek, and the annual Harvest Festival and rib cook-off in Berlin. There’s lots to do- or not do :) in and near Dover and Riverside Hideout as a “home base” is just right!

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.

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,
