About this property

The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail #4

Welcome to The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail! The perfect place to stay as you explore the beautiful Texas Hill Country and its amazing wineries, parks, shops and people. We are happy to share our special getaway with you and truly hope you enjoy it as much as we do. We are right in the middle of over 50 Texas Hill Country wineries, three of which are within walking distance: Blue Lotus Winery and Silver Dollar Winery to the east and Untamed to the west. So, whether you are looking for a quick getaway or a home base while you attend one of the many festivals and events in the surrounding areas, we are the right choice.
Our containers are arranged in pods of five surrounding majestic oak trees and lush landscaping with just enough ambient lighting to make it relaxing and comfortable. If you want to hang out, just walk over to the common area where you will find open space, chairs, a hammock, and our custom Container Retreat cornhole boards.
Our mattresses were custom handmade locally from Cantwell Mattress in San Antonio. Our shampoo, conditioner and body wash are made with 100% Pure Morocco Argan Oil and are 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free. In addition, our hand soap is made with essential oils, aloe vera, olive oil, and without parabens, phthalates, or artificial colors. We have provided everything you need in our kitchenette, including a corkscrew and wine pourer to enjoy your Texas Hill Country wine.
Couples get away, check! Girl’s weekend, check! Bachelor or Bachelorette parties, check! Whatever the occasion, we are the right choice. If you need to book larger parties, we have twelve other listings and can accommodate groups of up to thirty-two.
Photos are representative of Containers Two - Eight and décor may vary, but the layout is the same.

I liked the rustic area of The Container and while it is quiet, it is close to a couple of wineries, so I didn't feal isolated. I didn't fully think the communication was easy when I had a question about the guest book being online. (This could be my own issues with tech.) That question was answered when I did check in to my unit. The restaurants and a grocery store are close by and there are options in Fredericksburg. I loved the coffee that was furnished in the kitchenette!! The bed was very comfortable. The host had warned about the hot water in the shower but I had no issues with it. It appeared to cycle during use but it didn't go cold so I was fine. I travel alone and the space was just right for me. I would recommend The Container Retreat to others who are exploring the area.
