What a gem!

The container cabin exceeded all of our expectations for a family of 4. We loved everything: layout, kitchen, laundry, grill, hot tub and firepit. We enjoyed hiking, rock climbing and swimming...all within a short drive from the cabin. We had a great time and would definitely book again!

Mini Spring Break Get-a-way

Wonderful 2 night stay in this very clean and comfortable cabin. We had our 2 children with us also and they loved the cabin. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed evenings in the hot tub and then sitting around the campfire. Close to trails. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Will definitely be coming back.

Great Getaway!!

This place is awesome. Super quiet and peaceful. They have a ton of DVDs and board games to play, which helps with the WiFi not being the best for watching things like Netflix. Pretty decent phone signal though, so I just used my hotspot. Overall awesome, and Amanda was an amazing host with great communication. Will be back!!

Perfect Hideaway

Short trip for a relaxing weekend before the Holiday Craziness happens this week. It was exactly what the Dr. ordered. Unplug purposely from most of the world, hiked a little, watched football all weekend and hung out in the hot tub. We loved this location and will be staying again.

What a cabin!

Just had a great weekend here at this container cabin that had everything you needed. Great hot tub and grill, plenty of games and lots of cookware/spices if you are eating in. Wish I'd had booked one more night. Definitely will be back in the future!!! Beautiful place!

Perfect Cabin Great Location

We loved this cabin. The location felt isolated but was 5 minutes from everything. Cabin felt new and very clean. You can stargaze and even see the Milky Way. Host was responsive and accommodating. Be sure to check out Toad's Bar and Grill just a couple of minutes away.

Fall at RRG

The Original Container was just as advertised. My wife and I had a wonderful stay and the hot tub came in very handy after a long day of hiking. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this property and owner.

Awesome place to stay

We had a great stay, and my only complaint is that I wish we could stay there longer. The property is exactly as described, very cute and clean. The views were amazing and the hot tub was a treat. We would give it 15 out of 10 stars if we could.

Perfect return stay

This was our second trip to this property. It's in a perfect location for access to all that Natural Bridge/RRG has to offer. The cabin was very clean, beds are comfy, and the option to purchase firewood was really nice. Would highly recommend staying here!

This was one of the coolest VRBO’s I’ve stayed in. It had plenty of space inside and outside. Everything was very clean and easily accessible. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was in a quiet, peaceful location. I would definitely recommend this property!
