About this property

Sans Cedar - Shipping Container Cabin 2

An unforgettable retreat, this is the second of two cabins at Sans Cedar; one acre of Texas oaks and cedar trees in Bertram, Texas. Cabin 2 is a quiet spot to rest after exploring all that the Highland Lakes and Hill country have to offer. This unique rental is lovingly crafted from a 20 ft shipping container with special touches, and a large deck that makes it feel so much bigger. Sans Cedar is convenient to Hwy 29 between Liberty Hill and Burnet with 30 minute access to Inks Lake, Georgetown Square, Marble Falls, and so much more.

The space
Small, but well planned space with private bath, kitchenette and Queen size adjustable bed.

Guest access
A code for the front door will be provided two days before arrival. The property is behind a closed (but not locked) gate which should stay closed at all times.

Other things to note
I am afraid we cannot accommodate pets in the cabins. Small children with their own beds/bedding are welcome, but should be monitored at all times due to the natural environment and potential animals or plants that might pose a hazard. Thanks for understanding that we want to maintain the space for safety but also keep it fairly wild.

We had such a great stay here this past weekend! The storage container is such a unique idea, and it was very clean and thoughtfully decorated. You could tell a lot of care went into making the space comfortable. Everything we needed was stocked and ready for us (ex: coffee/creamer, towels, plates, and other essentials), which made the stay feel easy and relaxing.We arrived after dark, and the lights were already on inside and out on the patio, which made the space feel especially warm and welcoming from the moment we pulled up. It was such a thoughtful touch.The owner was also so kind, responsive, and accommodating throughout the entire process. We really appreciated the hospitality. Overall, it was a unique and cozy experience, and we would absolutely stay here again!

We built our barndo here two years ago after escaping the hustle and bustle of Houston. now we want to share the stars and the peace with our guests.

Why they chose this property

We moved to Bertram because it is close to amenities but still untouched by urban sprawl. We love our new little town.

What makes this property unique

Our cabins are modern but nestled in nature, close to all you want to do, but far enough away to be a relaxing retreat.
