    The only thing we had trouble with was the stove. Other than that it was lovely.

    The house was beautiful and the location close to the state and national parks but unfortunately the solar power and generator did not function properly and thus we had 3 nights without any electricity, water or WiFi service. The host and house manager were responsive but nothing they could do. It was not pleasant at all.

    This was such a cute and unique rental! It was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy the area. I will say I would not have booked it if the location was accurate. I know it's because of no service and difficult. When I was booking and the maps gives you a general area... this was almost 30 minutes north. Its worth bringing up because a lot of other rentals in the area do have the correct general location. I purposefully did not select one of those and ended up in the same area.

    This house has all the amenities of home while being off the grid. Everything was great. The WiFi, water, electricity all were great. House was easy to find just make sure you put the address or coordinates in before you lose cell signal. Area is secluded and very quiet. It was the quietest place we had ever been. You literally could not hear anything outside. It was really cool. House isn’t far from Terlingua and big bend. Only 20-30 mins maybe. I would come back and stay there again.

    This property is a beautiful and peaceful getaway, perfect for escaping the city and enjoying the star-filled night sky. The container home itself was clean and well-maintained, with a great rooftop deck for taking in the surroundings. While we appreciated the peaceful setting, there was an issue with the septic system that caused a persistent odor throughout our stay. The host was quick to respond when we reported the problem, but the problem could not be fixed during our visit. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing issue, we ultimately decided to cut our trip short. Would come again in the future.

    Had a great time in this quaint getaway house. Everything is provided there for you. You just gotta bring your own eats and drinks. Host was very helpful with directions and responses to questions. Will definitely keep this place on my list to revisit.
