The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail

Smart stays in the heart of Texas Wine Country—everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Discover the Texas Hill Country without paying for amenities you’ll never use. At The Container Retreat, we focus on what matters most: comfort, convenience, and location.

🍷 Unbeatable Location: Surrounded by more than 50 wineries, with Blue Lotus and Untamed within walking distance and Silver Dollar just a 1 minute drive. Festivals, parks, restaurants, breweries, distilleries and shops are just minutes away.

🐾 Dog-Friendly Options: Containers #11–13 welcome dogs. Containers #1–10 remain pet-free for guests who prefer it.

Dog Policy at The Container Retreat: We’re excited to welcome your furry friends in select containers! To ensure a positive experience for all guests, please note the following guidelines:

🐾 Dogs must be crate trained and placed in their crate whenever left alone in the container (though we know you’ll want them by your side as you explore).



🐕 All dogs must remain on leash when outside the container.



💧 Guests are responsible for cleaning up after their pets. Failure to pick up dog waste will result in a $50 fee. Please dispose of doggie bags in the dumpster, not inside the container.



💲 A $35 pet fee per visit applies, with a maximum of two dogs (up to 50 lbs each).



🛋️ If your dog will be on furniture, please bring your own blanket to protect the space.



Thank you for helping us keep The Container Retreat comfortable and enjoyable for everyone!

🌳 Relaxed Setting: Our 40' containers are arranged in pods of four beneath oak trees, with soft lighting and a welcoming common area featuring chairs, a hammock, and custom cornhole boards.

🛏️ Quality Essentials: Locally handcrafted Cantwell mattresses, vegan and cruelty-free bath products, and eco-friendly hand soap.

🍴 Simple Convenience: Kitchenettes stocked with everything you need—including a corkscrew and wine pourer—so you can enjoy your Hill Country finds with ease.

Whether it’s a couple’s getaway, a girl’s weekend, or a group celebration, The Container Retreat is your smart choice. With 13 listings accommodating up to 32 guests, we make hosting larger parties simple.

Stay where value meets location—The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail.

A night away

It was a cute little stay! Nice to get away from the city live every once in awhile with our dogs. It was a little bit odd that the cleaner fee was so high when we had to take out our own trash bag, there were feet prints on the wall and dog hair on the beds when ours hadnt even gone inside yet. However we did have a good stay!

weekend getaway

My husband a& i booked the cabin for our anniversary. It was very clean & in a good location. The only issue we had was we did nor receive the code to the door. We were able to contact the host quickly to receive the code & check in. Overall I would highly recommend the container cabins!

Robin, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am glad that your overall experience was positive. I apologize that you did not receive the automated message two days prior to arrival with the door code. I'm not sure why it did not make it to your email but we will be monitoring VRBO communications going forward to ensure it does not happen to another guest.

Hidden Gem

This is a wonderful property. I was out walking the dogs after dark and was in awe about how quiet and serene it was. I figured we had to be the only ones at Container Retreat, but then noticed that the resort was to capacity. You could not hear any of the other guests - amazing! Also, the morning view and the spectacular night sky was an added bonus! I would highly recommend the Container Retreat!
