Container • 5 guests • Private Bathroom • Private Kitchen
This is an eco-friendly vacation rental near Austin, Texas, is the ultimate in vintage hippy style and modern sensibility. This converted shipping container has been carefully planned and designed and can accommodate four guests without feeling cramped. There is a separate bedroom featuring a queen-size bed and twin bunk beds. The full-size couch in the living room can provide additional sleeping accommodation. In the efficient Hollywood bathroom, guests will find a toilet, sink, and a shower. Linens and towels are provided.
This retreat is perfect for free-spirited travelers looking for a unique experience. Everything in the rental tells a story. Many of the decorations were collected by the owner on his world travels. The windows were recycled from a school, the countertops were taken from a bowling alley, and the container base was repurposed from a laboratory. Even the container itself has history and guests can imagine where it traveled before setting in Texas.
This rental strives to transport guests to another time and simpler life. In the living room, instead of staring at a TV, guests can relax on the sofa and enjoy the selection of books along with vintage records and a record player. The kitchenette just off the living room is equipped with a sink, a microwave, a mini-fridge, and a coffeemaker.
Guests can step out of the rental onto the deck and enjoy rocking away and taking a nap in the hammock. At night, guests will truly feel like they’re in another world as they sit around the fire pit and connect with family and friends under the stars. This eco-chic rental is all about sustainable, simple living. There is no TV so that guests may take advantage of their vacation in the country to disconnect. Instead, guests can enjoy the vintage record player and the collection of vinyls or read one of the books stacked in the living room. Better still, guests can hang out outside on the hammock and comfortable chairs around the fire pit.
Guests are greeted at the rental with complimentary tea, coffee, Topochico sparking water, and Mexican sodas.

The number one attraction in Round Top is without question the Round Top Antiques Fair. It is held twice a year in October and April, but vendors often come and begin their shows before the official event. Aside from the fair, Round Top offers plenty to do year-round. This small town is full of charm and is loaded with historic buildings such as the small schoolhouse, the William Lockhart Clayton House, and Menke House. Henkel Square Market is seven acres of unique shops and historic buildings set among beautiful gardens and groves of oak trees. Even when the fair is not going on, Round Top does not disappoint in eclectic shopping opportunities as it is full of antiques and boutiques such as Junk Gypsies, Old World Antieks, Townsend Provisions, Clutter, Humble Donkey Studio, and Lark.
This idyllic little town is the perfect setting for events and is also home to a six-week classical music festival in June and July. The breathtaking concert hall on “Festival Hill” is one of the most beautiful buildings in all of Texas. It is truly an architectural masterpiece and makes for an incredible venue for listening to music. Additionally, guests may catch a performance of Shakespeare at Winedale, a program put on by the University of Texas.
Those wanting to get outdoors can enjoy area hiking spots and swimming and fishing at Lake Fayette or Somerville Lake. There is also golfing nearby at Frisch Auf Valley Country Club.
