LED lights inside and a super-quiet, efficient mini-split AC unit makes this a comfortable, energy efficient space. Guest Access: The house and rooftop deck are all yours!

The property was clean and compact. It was equipped with everything you may need. The best part was the upstairs rooftop deck where one could stargaze at night. Also, it was right off the road about an hour and a half away on the way to Big Bend! ##### Amy ### 10/10 Excellent #### Macy B. Sep 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Did a long weekend in West Texas and spent a few nights here in this super comfy storage container. Arrival was a breeze since the host had a full online pamphlet with all the details. The room was very clean and had all the major necessities. The upstairs provided a great spot to watch the sunset over the mountains. There are a few Alpine restaurants nearby and coffee shops. We also did some shopping in Alpine. But the best thing about the location of these storage containers is how convenient they are to Big Bend, Marfa, Fort Davis and Marathon. We enjoyed our entire stay and would come back. ##### Macy B.
