The Stardust Stunning Container Home

We thought staying in a container house would be fun…and it was! Great location, near all the places we were going: Fort Davis, McDonald Observatory, and both Big Bend parks. Alpine is a great little town with all the amenities you need. And this home was right in the action. The beds were super comfortable too.

Staying in Alpine was a pleasant surprise. Came for a short first time visit to Big Bend and the Observatory. This was a perfect location for 2 couples.The units were placed in a great formation to allow for privacy and enjoyment of the balcony.Can’t wait to return.

This container tiny home was perfect for our trip! Everything was as presented in listing ! We had everything we needed! Enjoyed it all! Thank you for quick response to any questions!

Overall, this is a cute little tiny house, but we didn’t find it to be a practical stay. I didn’t realize the internal structure of the house didn’t have a staircase inside of it, the only staircase connecting top and bottom floors was an extremely small, windy staircase outside of the building. Since we were there with our 3 young kids, this was a bit of a nightmare since we had no way for our kids to get to us upstairs if they needed us in the middle of the night without going outside. This lead to me sleeping on the 3rd sleeping space in the living room area - the futon. This should not be counted as a sleeping space. This futon was by far the most uncomfortable couch I’ve ever sat on, let alone slept on. It was the worst sleep I’ve ever had. On top of these things, we had a few other random frustrations: the upstairs bathroom door didn’t stay closed, the kitchen is barely functional beyond maybe cooking one thing in one pan, there wasn’t enough cutlery for the amount of people staying, there wasn’t any restocks of garbage bags or paper towels so we ran out of things through our stay, the upstairs door is extremely heavy and was near impossible to close on windy days, the thermostat did not work and we found ourselves frozen every night despite trying to fix all of them multiple times. The views here were gorgeous, the stargazing patio was nice, the proximity to town was nice, but overall I would not recommend this house.

Loved our container casita. Alpine is a great town to stay when visiting the Big Bend area.
