About this property

Unique Container Home 15 min to Asheville – Walk to Warren Wilson, Pet Friendly!

Escape to a one‑of‑a‑kind container conversion home just 15 minutes from downtown Asheville and Black Mountain — and walking distance to Warren Wilson College. Perfect for families, couples, parents visiting campus, and pet owners, this 3BR/2.5BA retreat blends modern design with rustic touches and all the comforts of home.

Spend your days exploring Asheville’s breweries, the Biltmore Estate, and scenic hiking trails, then return to unwind on the wrap‑around deck or gather around the firepit under the stars.

Conveniently located at the end of a quiet wooded road, the property feels private and peaceful yet close to everything. The large yard is perfect for kids and dogs, and the firepit is a favorite spot for evening s’mores or a glass of wine.

Inside, the home is beautifully designed around a central shipping container, combining casual sophistication with a cozy atmosphere. The main level features wood floors, high ceilings, and big windows for natural light. Here you’ll find the open living, dining, and kitchen area, a large pantry, a half bath, and the primary bedroom suite.

The primary bedroom has a king bed, ensuite bathroom, and a walk‑in closet — roomy enough for a travel crib or dog bed if needed.

Upstairs, a carpeted loft provides a comfortable work space with a desk for remote work or study. Two additional bedrooms each feature a queen bed and closet space. A second full bathroom with a tub/shower combo serves the upstairs bedrooms.

Step outside to enjoy the wrap‑around deck with dining for six, a private yard for pets to roam, and a firepit surrounded by Adirondack chairs. Local wildlife like deer and wild turkeys sometimes wander by — adding to the true North Carolina feel.

About the host

Hosted by Tess

Host profile image
My family and I moved to Asheville in 2021, via Chicago. We love all that the area has to offer, including plentiful hikes, breweries, and great restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We love the Swannanoa area! It's conveniently located to both Asheville (15 mins) and Black Mountain (10 mins). The area is very quiet with lots of woods and many parks and hiking trails, but still has easy access to I-40.

What makes this property unique

Our rental cabin is built around a shipping container - seriously! The shipping container is mostly just the kitchen and one bath area, but provides a fun juxtaposition to the natural landscape surrounding the home. The home has a modern-cozy feel, and lots of windows and natural light that look out into private woods.
