Set on 74 acres of beautiful Carolinian forest, this cozy, repurposed shipping container is perfect for couples, solo travelers, and anyone looking to disconnect from everyday distractions and enjoy a slower pace of life.

A Private Retreat in the Forest

This insulated 20-foot shipping container has been transformed into a private woodland bunkie, offering a simple and peaceful place to unwind.

Inside, you'll find a queen bed and two hammocks, creating a comfortable place to rest after a day outdoors. The bunkie also features a seasonal propane heater, making it available for cozy stays during the colder months, typically from October through May.

Outside, guests can enjoy a fire pit, a barbecue with propane provided, and the natural beauty of the surrounding forest. Firewood is available for purchase, making it easy to plan a relaxing evening around the fire. Dogs are also welcome, so you can bring your four-legged companion along for the adventure.

An Off-Grid Experience

Guests should bring their own bedding, pillows, cookware, plates, and utensils. Cell service is limited, although Rogers generally has better reception in the area.

These simple amenities are part of what makes the experience special. Instead of screens and constant notifications, you can enjoy quiet mornings, fresh forest air, peaceful walks, and evenings beneath the stars.
