Great stay at the container house. Cool experience staying in a container with everything clean and organized . Beautiful and large deck to complement house. Silvano was very responsive with providing some nearby ideas on restaurants and wineries.

We live in the country so we enjoyed Silviano's place being out a ways. It was actually fairly convenient to both Round Top and Lagrange which was out intention for out stay. Silviano is very quick to respond and helpful. Something to point out is, it is in the country so be aware of your surroundings we saw a copperhead snake on the porch one night and spring is coming on and the red wasps were trying to build under the deck steps. Loved the peace and will visit again. Dick & Missy Washington

I had a blast at the container house which has a deck beautifully done. Super cozy, clean, well maintained and decorated, organized and more than anything peaceful. Internet was super fast. Exactly what I expected. Silviano was super helpful leading me to the right place. Two thumbs up for the whole experience. Ill come back for sure.

I don't know where to start to accurately describe how fantastic this past weekend was at Silviano's place. We wanted something remote, and I needed to escape computers and personally unplug. It was such a special place, indeed. It's as if you were at an upscale \campsite\ with a beautiful wooded remote area but exceptionally well-appointed and pristine inside and minutes from small towns. After a glass of wine near the fire, Netflix was great in the late evenings. My husband can get a bit claustrophobic, and with the large doors with reflective private glass, it was like having the outside space inside and much more open than you can ever imagine in a container space! Silviano was very responsive in communicating with us and checking in on us. He truly loves his spaces, which is evident from his TLC of the sites. If you want an eclectic stay off the beaten path, this is your jam AND a short drive to some incredible places. I'll go back for a writing retreat on my own very soon!

We enjoyed staying at the container home and thought the use of space was really creative and the big deck was a great place to hang out. We were there on a cold night below freezing and it was nice and warm in there. It was nice to be able to bring our pets. We enjoyed seeing the cows and goats.

The place was exactly as pictured! Everything was very clean and easy to find. Its a great place thats not far from Round Top and Brenham. Loved being able to watch the cows and goats on the property. Host is very quick to respond and clear with instruction for arrival and departure. Would stay again.

The place had not been cleaned when we arrived but Silviano took care of the issue right away and he gave us a refund on to make up for the inconvenience. The place was very cute and comfortable. Would definitely come back again if in the area

Julia

All the contemporary furnishings were carefully and artistically chosen for the container nestled amongst the trees. The matress, pillows, sheets, and towels were all very comfortable. The well designed huge deck and steps were so beautiful. I enjoyed seeing the neighbors goats (and cows ) when they settled for the night nearby. The location brought back childhood memories of my parents farm. We went to Bugle Boy just down the road and took the opportunity to hike through historic Monument Hill. Yes, I loved my first experience with Nespresso coffee and am missing it since Ive returned home. We appreciate his friendly and quick responses to our questions. He is a great host. Thank you for a relaxing weekend.

Thomas

From the very start Silviano was extremely responsive. We booked last minute so the quick communication part was critical to us. Literally the moment I messaged him, he was in the inbox reading the messages as I typed. Everything was amazing and easy to access. He was extremely friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be back !

Emily

My stay was wonderful! The patio is so precious and was amazing to watch the sunset and meditate! Thumbs up for having some yoga mats too!

Lara
Lara October 2024

Silviano's container home was perfect for our Round Top antique festival overnight, and it felt like you are nestled in the woods and very peaceful. You have everything that you might need available and most things are within 15-30 minutes driving. It's got a nice minimalist design and feels brand new. If you like a firm bed, it's perfect! It is good to note that there is another unit that shares the same parking space and is nearby, so you aren't completely alone if that's what you're looking for.

Laura

A great little Air BNB to escape to after the Houston hurricane to work and cool down until power was restored. Was very happy it was available and was close to LaGrange, Fayetteville and Round Top. Thank you!!

Silviano's place is truly a gem between Nechanitz and La Grange. Be sure to take advantage of all the surrounding area has to offer, especially his beautiful deck and atmosphere that comes along with. Every detail is thoughtfully planned, and the place is spotlessly clean. It’s an ideal spot if you want to explore nearby towns like La Grange, Round Top, Fayetteville, & Brenham. I wish I had time to roll out those yoga mats before I left, so if you get the chance to visit, please do that for me with your Nespresso in reach. :)

I absolutely loved staying here for work! It felt just like my second home. And let me tell you, when we encountered a little hiccup, Silviano was an absolute lifesaver. He jumped right in, fixed the issue in a jiffy, and made sure everything was back on track.

Richard

We loved it!!! Perfect spot for our adventures in Round Top and it was perfect. Very private and peaceful surroundings. Had everything we needed and the Nespresso coffee provided topped it off. We brought our dog and she loved her walks on the property. The bed was very comfortable and the space was perfect. Wish it wasn’t too cold and we would have enjoyed the deck. We will definitely stay again as Silviano was a great host and very responsive.

Loved your place. My only suggestion would be to add a couple hanging hooks in the bathroom for clothes or toiletries bag. Thank you
