Great Getaway to Reset

We were really needing a time to get away as a family before we got in full swing with school schedules, etc… this place was great. Definitely hot in August, but really appreciated the cooled A/C in the remodeled crates. Glamping in style with lots of room to stretch out and enjoy nature. We used the small kitchen along with the grill to prepare all our meals. Felt like home away from home. Ellen was great to respond to any inquiries we had both before our arrival and after. Highly Recommend!!!

Amazing Spot

A great place to stay! This home is tucked away in the beautiful pine trees, but still close to everything in Bastrop. It was clean, charmingly decorated, and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and more. The large, covered outdoor area was our favorite place to relax and visit. The tabletop heaters were perfect for the cool evenings. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope we can stay again every time we visit Bastrop.

Incredible place don’t pass this up you won’t regret it

This place is amazing the location is so incredibly relaxing the views are breathtaking. They are so pet friendly and even installed retractable gates to help keep your fur babies contained. There are 2 shipping containers and each one is its own little piece of heaven with a bedroom and full bathroom. The shared outdoor space has everything you can think of for a family get together spacious seating bbq grill and not one but 2 table top heaters. I can’t say enough good things and I can’t wait to stay there again as it’s so close to the Rising Sun Vineyard where we were visiting

Heaven in the Pines

The “container houses” are about the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! When you drive into the property, you feel like you’re in a dreamy movie with the gorgeous pine trees surrounding you! Then you walk up a beautiful rock set of steps onto a fabulous outdoor area! It’s so spacious and a great place to relax and take in the fresh air! There are more than enough amenities for cooking outdoors, and indoors, too! The two containers allow you to have separate “living quarters”, which was perfect for my husband and his work partner for their extended stay while doing a job in Bastrop! They loved it so much, they booked a second week after a 9 night stay the first time! I cannot wait to go back when it is just my husband and myself! It’s so peaceful and the owner has put more thought into every single detail than the law should allow! I would recommend this place to everyone! It’s beyond perfect! Superhost status in my opinion all the way!

Fantastic Place!

Simply a fantastic place to stay! The owners have thought of every little detail that would make you comfortable in your stay. From a dog bed, hiking sticks, laundry detergent, well placed charging stations, I could go on and on! Extremely well priced for all that you get with this amazing property. We will absolutely be back many more times in the future!!

Dog-Friendly Dream!

As a couple with 3 medium/large dogs we were curious to see if we could manage being in a 40’ unit. We loved all the space outside and the unit was cozy. Even though we didn’t stay in it, it was nice to have the washer and dryer in Little Blue. The pups loved all the sights, smells, and sounds while we enjoyed the views. We would definitely stay again!

Outdoor living at its best

Loved everything about my stay from the renovations done to the shipping containers to the spacious outdoor deck. Everything you need is provided to have a nice comfortable stay! Grilled up some food and enjoyed it outside with the family. Definitely booking again!

About the host

Your host

This is an owner managed property. Forest Lane Acres is our only property and is much loved by our family. Acquired in 2012, Forest Lane Acres is a 2.8-acre property that endured the catastrophic Bastrop County Complex Fire in September 2011, the most devastating wildfire in Texas history. The property witnessed the loss of its home, garage, and over 200 trees that once contributed to its lush greenery. Only nine homes remained unscathed in the Lost Pines Development, a quaint community where our property is situated.

As the new custodians of Forest Lane Acres, our mission has been centered around reviving its once vibrant landscape. In 2014, we spearheaded the planting of over 800 pine seedlings under the auspices of the Lost Pines Reforestation Program. The burgeoning pine forest you see today is a testament to our years of diligent land management and erosion control efforts.

The shipping containers and the expansive outdoor patio now stand on the site of the former house, while the covered carport occupies the location of the old three-car garage.

Now in our retirement years, we are committed to nurturing this property so it can continue to thrive for our grandchildren. It is a well loved property and it gives us immense pleasure to share this rejuvenating outdoor retreat with others who appreciate the beauty of nature.

Why they chose this property

This property presents an idyllic retreat for couples or small families who relish outdoor adventures. It boasts serene views of the pine forest from a spacious patio deck, offering an exclusive oasis of privacy - you may detect the distant hum of neighbors, but they remain unseen. The outdoor area is equipped with WIFI, allowing you to work or play on your laptop amidst nature. Pet-lovers will appreciate the pet-friendly patio, fitted with retractable screens on all openings to ensure your furry companions remain safely within sight. Inside, the property is cleverly constructed from two shipping containers, providing a compact yet cozy living space of 540 square feet. It can comfortably accommodate five adults, including a queen-sized sofa bed. Despite the limited interior space, it is well-appointed with all home comforts, albeit on a smaller scale. Larger groups may find the interior a little snug for lounging. The 1200 square-foot outdoor covered patio is perfect for larger gatherings or outdoor dining. With the inclusion of ceiling and floor fans for the summer months, and fire pit tables to cozy up during the colder months, this outdoor haven is designed for year-round enjoyment - only extreme weather conditions could dampen the outdoor experience.

What makes this property unique

The two container configuration offers two private bedrooms/bathrooms, perfect for couples or families traveling with grandparents who want to spend time together but appreciate some privacy. There is a 30amp RV spot available on request.
