The unit had bad water damage and some mold. There was a cockroach infestation so we were unable to stay there. They were quick to issue a negotiated refund.

We had a really good stay at the tiny house/shipping container and it was a great home base for our plans, which included just being there for sleep, bathing, etc. It was clean and tidy on arrival and we made good use of the kitchen to prepare and store our snacks for hiking the next day. There was an umbrella thoughtfully placed, which was much appreciated, as it was pouring! It actually rained most of our stay, so we only got a short time to spend enjoying the rooftop deck, but it was a great place to spread out and get some fresh air and enchanting for the time we spent on it, unwinding and stretching our legs after a long day of adventure. The cabin itself is not a great place for spreading out, but that is kind of the point and we were really cozy in it during the all-night thunderstorms. It was a great price point for the area/season and everything we needed in a home base.
