About this property

Envase Casa Container House Between Bryce & Zion

We are about 2 blocks off highway 89 in Glendale, Utah.

The carport (you can get two cars end to end in the carport/driveway - if you need more parking just let us know) is just below the cantilever of the shipping containers. There is a door right off the carport that leads into the Laundry room/kitchen area. The front entry patio has a small seating area. The pass code lock is on the front door. We have Wifi throughout the house!

The kitchen is stocked as well as any kitchen should be with all new and modern appliances. Equipped with all the things you need to cook a homemade meal or just be able to warm something up. We have black stainless steel appliances include a electric oven, french door refrigerator with ice and filtered water in the door, built in microwave and range hood, dishwasher, large copper farmsink with garbage disposal, toaster, coffee maker, coffee, creamer, sugar, spices, waffle maker, griddle, slow cooker crockpot, blender, pots, pans, glassware, bakeware, and prepware. The table is set up to set 4. We also have comfortable folding chairs that can be added as well for more seating. Also, there is a nice size patio right off the kitchen - great for breakfast! We've tried to think of everything you might need during your stay at Envase Casa.

The master bedroom is the largest bedroom in the house. Located on the main floor and right off the kitchen. It has an electric fireplace as well as smart TV mounted on the wall. It has Bluetooth speakers installed in the ceiling that are connected to the TV. It adjoins the master bathroom. The master bathroom has a free standing tub with a rain shower above it.

Laundry room is on the main floor and has one washer and 2 dryers and a laundry sink.

The 3 renaming bedrooms - they all have full sized beds, dressers/closets. One is located on the main floor. The other 2 are upstairs right off the great room.

The great room has a pool table, foosball table, air hockey table as well as a closet full of board games. We have a 65" smart TV as well as 2 fold out sofas (one is a full size and the other one is a queen). We have a bathroom right off the great room. The upstairs deck is right off the great room through a sliding glass door. It's a great place to view the stars!

It is a short drive to Zion and Bryce Canyon, Coral Pink Sand Dunes, Sand Caves and dozens of amazing natural sites.

Good times in Glendale

My wife and I split time on the east side and the west side of Zion National Park. We enjoyed this amazing “container” house during our time on the east side. For us, this home checked all the boxes. Our hosts were communicative and the check-in and checkout processes were easy. We wanted to be near “The Shop” - A place for delicious coffees, lattes, and croissants. Additionally, this property offers lots of room, a Fully equipped kitchen, Comfortable beds, and a fabulous deck for stargazing. We had a great time, we highly recommend this property, and we look forward to a return visit!

Overall good - no real issues or problems.

Home was as advertised and working with the owner was great. Overall - pleased. Location was the only "less than" experience. We wanted to be between Zion and Bryce - and it was that - so that was good! But the local town really was nothing and the surrounding neighborhood was nothing great - a bit "run downed" in places. But these are small things - overall we were pleased.

Perfection!

Our recent visit to Zion and Bryce brought us to Envase Casa. We could not have had a better experience! It was a perfect layout, setting, and proximity. We were so comfortable and loved coming “home” each evening to our home away from home. Happy family memories were made there, and we are so grateful for that!

Bryce and Zion trip

Good location right in between Zion and Bryce. House was nice and pool table kept the family together when we got home at night. Only tough part was finding a place to eat dinner. We ended up going to Kanab each night which is about 30 minutes away. All in all - it was a good place to stay.

Perfect Home Base

Ideally situated between Bryce and Zion, this wonderful house let us be flexible on which activities we did each day. Very cool concept and layout, so many hang out spaces and great sleeping arrangements. Loved the deck, grill and hot tub. Agree with others that kitchen tools could use an update for easier cooking for a crew after a day of hiking, but overall a really terrific place that was ideal for us to explore Bryce and Zion.

Perfect Location between Zion and Bryce Canyon

We only stayed one night on our way back home from northern Utah. Are only regret of our trip was staying that one night. The house is beautifully decorated and had a lot of stuff for our teenage nieces and nephew. They loved the pool table and the Nintendo. This house is perfectly located between Bryce Canyon and Zion's East entrance. Unfortunately all the restaurants in the town where closed but a short 15-20 minute drive towards Zion there was a handful of restaurants. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to stay here! It beats staying on the Springfield side of Zion, you have less crowds and the east entrance to Zion does not have insane lines like the Springfield side. The host was awesome and she made it very easy to check in and out.

Wonderful house in between Zion and Bryce

The house is clearly well loved by the family who owns it. Immaculately cleaned, well designed and decorated, and comfortable. It is in a rather remote area. We spent our days hiking in Zion - unfortunately never made it to Bryce - and ate breakfast and dinner at the house every day. We were there for 3 nights. The only downside which is a problem for me but may not be for others is the lack of kitchen supplies. There are plenty of plates, flatware, glasses, etc, but a lack of usable cutting boards (the large plastic cutting board is terribly warped and not usable; there are only two small boards), mixing bowls, a large pot with a lid that fits, a good saute pan in which to make a frittata, etc. I like to cook and that's one reason why I prefer to rent houses rather than stay in hotels, and I rent houses all over the world. This is a top notch house in need of better cooking supplies (a salad spinner is a big ask but would be nice@)

Unique Home with lots of amenities

We loved this home because of its unique construction as well as the all of the amenities that the owners designed into this home. We wished we had more time to enjoy them. This place is in the middle of both Zion and Bryce National Parks so it made it easy to switch parks on alternating days to give variation.

Great house! Plenty of room and excellent design! Great outdoor spaces!!

We really appreciated the extras that the owners left for us like plenty of cleaning supplies, spices, garbage bags, extra pillows and a really nice grill. The pool table was fun for all of us. One thing to note is that the house is an hour from Zion center, so while it's close to the East Entrance, you aren't near the shuttle bus line. The location is equal distance to Zion and Bryce, so if you are planning to hike both, it's a good spot. Also note, there are no wine or liquor stores in Glendale, plan accordingly.

Five Million Stars

Our group of 8 (4 adults, 4 teenagers) had an amazing stay. The location was perfect for our daily explorations (Zion, Bryce Canyon, and more!), but the house was always a welcome retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the national parks and tourist towns. The layout of the house is great. The kids stayed upstairs and played a lot of pool and air hockey. The adults slept downstairs, but spent each night outside stargazing.

Peaceful and beautiful property

This extremely cool property, perfectly situated in between Zion and Bryce was a wonderful get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Gorgeous stars and night and an awesome playroom was exactly what we needed to get together at the end of the day hiking and canyoneering. (Just a full disclaimer that Glendale is a very small town and not close to any major restaurant chains or grocery stores and also the closest airport is in Vegas 3.5 hrs away) but we still really enjoyed our stay. We also went rappelling with East Zion Experiences and had a spectacular time.

About the host

Hosted by Kristy Brinkerhoff

Host profile image
Hi, We are Jarad & Kristy Brinkerhoff. We live in beautiful Glendale, Utah. We have 4 kids (3 girls and 1 boy). We live on a small farm with chickens, peacocks, sheep, goats, dogs, and a Llama.

Why they chose this property

In August 2017 we decided to take a leap of faith and start building a container home. For years we talked about doing this and trying something new and creative, something out of the normal, something maybe even unusual. We decided to do a container home because we wanted to build sustainable. By using things that are already made and could be repurposed. We wanted to have our kids involved in this project to help them learn new skills. Jarad likes to work with and enjoys building things from metal. So it was a great fit. We wanted to do something that could be useful and beautiful to bring our family together. We look forward to having others come and experience the joy this container house brings.

What makes this property unique

The Largest free standing shipping container home in Utah!
Built with sustainability and the environment in mind.

We started with (6) 40' High cube shipping containers and a DREAM.
What we ended up with is a 1,920 square foot, two story house with
4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a kitchen, laundry room, great room, carport, and a deck.

Located in Glendale, Utah. We are surrounded by National Parks, National Forests, National Monuments and State Parks, plus a wide variety of scenic roads and trails and lots of things to outdoors. With a modern/contemporary design this was built to stand out from the crowd.

Envase Casa isn't just another vacation home, it's an experience.
Come and stay with us!
