About this property

Dog friendly! - #11 is 1 of 3 containers now dog friendly!

Welcome to The Container Retreat @ 290 Wine Trail! The perfect place to stay as you explore the beautiful Texas Hill Country and it's amazing wineries, parks, shops and people. We are happy to share our special getaway with you and truly hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

The peace and tranquility is amazing and we are right in the middle of over 50 Texas Hill Country wineries. We have four within walking distance that you can begin to enjoy as you settle in: Blue Lotus Winery and Silver Dollar Winery to the east and Untamed and Freedom Cellars to the west. So whether you are looking for a quick getaway or a home base while you attend one of the many festivals and events in the surrounding areas, we are the right choice.

We have now converted containers #11, #12 & #13 to be dog friendly. They are a bit larger and further away from the other containers so they are more conducive for a positive experience for all guests. Containers #1 - #10 will continue to only allow our human guests. Dogs must be crate trained and in the crate whenever left in the container alone (but let's face it, your gonna want your dog to be with you as you are out and about). All dogs must be on leash when not in the container and guests are required to pick up all dog waste or be assessed a $50 fee. Please dispose of your doggie bags in the dumpster and not in the container. Our standard fee will be $35 per visit, maximum of two dogs and a maximum weight of 50 pounds each. If you plan to have the dogs on any furniture, please bring your own blanket for them to lay on. When booking, please notify us through VRBO messaging the number of dogs and we will send you a request for the pet fee.

Our 40' containers are arranged in pods of four surrounding majestic oak trees and lush landscaping with just enough ambient lighting to make it relaxing and comfortable. If you want to hang out, just walk over to the common area where you will find open space, chairs, a hammock and our custom Container Retreat cornhole boards.

Our mattresses were custom handmade locally from Cantwell Mattress in San Antonio. These mattresses are made in Texas with 100% All-Natural Cotton sourced in Texas.
Our shampoo, conditioner and body wash are made with 100% Pure Morocco Argan Oil and are 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free. In addition, our hand soap is made with essential oils, aloe vera, olive oil, and without parabens, phthalates or artificial colors. We have provided everything you need in our kitchenette, including a corkscrew and wine pourer to enjoy your Texas Hill Country wine.

Couples getaway, check! Girls weekend, check! Bachelor or Bachelorette parties, check! Whatever the occasion, we are the right choice. We have nine other listing and can accommodate groups of up to twenty eight, with more containers available soon.

A night away

It was a cute little stay! Nice to get away from the city live every once in awhile with our dogs. It was a little bit odd that the cleaner fee was so high when we had to take out our own trash bag, there were feet prints on the wall and dog hair on the beds when ours hadnt even gone inside yet. However we did have a good stay!

Hidden Gem

This is a wonderful property. I was out walking the dogs after dark and was in awe about how quiet and serene it was. I figured we had to be the only ones at Container Retreat, but then noticed that the resort was to capacity. You could not hear any of the other guests - amazing! Also, the morning view and the spectacular night sky was an added bonus! I would highly recommend the Container Retreat!

weekend getaway

My husband a& i booked the cabin for our anniversary. It was very clean & in a good location. The only issue we had was we did nor receive the code to the door. We were able to contact the host quickly to receive the code & check in. Overall I would highly recommend the container cabins!
