My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful time staying at Elder Farm. The container house is unique, welcoming and perfectly appointed. We got lucky with spring like temps at the end of December and were able to take walks each day on the farm and sit by the river, it was relaxing and so peaceful. We loved sitting on the deck with a glass of wine and enjoyed the view. At night we soaked in the hot tub and did some star gazing. I was able to cook nice meals easily in the well appointed kitchen. If you were to have a problem or a simple question the host are readily available, friendly and hospitable. We definitely plan on returning this year.

We found the container house to be a fun stay for our family of 4. It was a little snug- for our two teens but we had a good time. The deck upstairs was fun and the view were great. River was a fun to play in! Owners were responsive to the couple of hiccups we had and did their best to fix it for us.
