It was a great stay. Everything was just as pictured. Clean comfy bed, nice amenities. Loved the roof top deck. Will definitely stay there again when in the area.
We stayed one night on our way to Big Bend. We loved it. Comfortable, clean and convenient. Small but well planned space with everything you need for a good nights sleep.
From booking, to check in, to check out, the owners made this an amazing experience. The container home was incredibly comfortable - the bed was fantastic, the chair was great, and the rooftop viewing deck was amazing. The VRBO was stocked with everything we needed for our stay. There is a fantastic grocer just a couple blocks away and easy access into Alpine for anything else you may want or need. We enjoyed both sunset and sunrise from the rooftop deck, even getting to see a herd of deer, bunnies playing, and ground squirrels scurrying about in the morning. 10 out of 10, highly recommend!
We loved our starry night tiny house experience. It had everything we needed. It was the perfect home base for our Big Bend adventure. We definitely plan to return in the future.
This shelter was great. every inch used efficiently to make the visitor comfortable. Very nice host who took care of everything for us. Highly recommend to anyone.
Super clean and well maintained. If you are looking for privacy there are 10 other containers all close to each other. It was nice for a quick retreat from Midland. I enjoyed the stay.
The property's location gives the best of both worlds-- dark sky and quiet nights, yet close enough to all the region has to offer. Even with 30-degree nights, the container was warm and had plenty of hot water for showering. The kitchenette provided the basic appliances for coffee or snacks and the view from the very comfortable bed was delightful. Will definitely stay again!

Thank you for your fantastic review, Mary! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the location and found the container cozy and warm. We're glad you appreciated the kitchenette and the beautiful view from the bed. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Such a cozy place with amazing views! We had everything we needed to reheat leftovers after a big day at Big Bend. Lots of Star gazing from the rooftop. We counted 13 shooting stars! Would definitely stay here again.
Wife and I enjoyed our stay for the weekend. Definitely small; however, a nice experience, especially if you get along with your spouse as well as we do, lol. Very clean and well equipped. Great heater/AC and shower a big . Communication with host outstanding. Right outside of Alpine, so plenty to do. Amazing sunset and moonrise!!!
