Tree house, tiny home, shipping container, luxury hotel - the Forest Container is a bit of each of these things. Set in a lush forest valley, this is an incredible and unique place to stay. The property is within the Cuyuna mountain bike area, between the Yawkey and the Cruser's Kettle trailheads. There is a fire ring as well as a great deck upon which you can camp or otherwise relax and enjoy the view of the forested valley. The container is heated and cooled, and the container has a luxurious warm tiled shower, sink, toilet (cassette style), power and of course, as pictured, a beautiful small bedroom and living room. Coffee machine and mini fridge included on the deck. 👍🏼

We loved staying at this tiny retreat! It was so peaceful, cozy, and private. Super easy to relax and feel in-tune with the woodland, while still having all sorts of creature comforts. And even a nice spread for breakfast waiting in the fridge!

Staying at what I would call an art installation during a heat wave made our weekend at Cayuna a trip to never be forgotten! Finding solace in an AC shelter was an amazing experience in 90° weather.
I will definitely come here again!

We loved the container cabin! We have a family of 4 it was tight but we made it work. First time in a bathroom like that didn't expect the shower to be hot but it definitely was!
Very peaceful yet close enough to bike to everything.

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa
The Office was a great space for our weekend camping trip! We loved how easy it was to get to, and how well situated everything was on the property. We had our own private bathroom and fire pit. Firewood was provided and easy to get from the wood pile for our fires. Debbie was super responsive and kind She was open to answering any questions we had. She even left us with some breakfast items (fresh bread, yogurt, boiled eggs, cream for our coffee) which was an unexpected but nice touch. We loved how close the property was to Banning State Park and Jay Cooke State park. The Office was also heated which made camping on a 38 degree night a breeze! (Camping is a loose term as we had all the convenience of a bathroom, gas stove, refrigerator and pump sink. Though we definitely cooked out over the fire for a few meals-making it somewhere between camping and clamping. Great for us! The property also had a fitness cabin with a sauna. We did not use this as our adventures had us away from camp most of the weekend, but it was definitely a nice touch and I think in a future trip would be awesome to use!

3 nights at Cloverdale Cabins
We loved the cute little cottage that we stayed in. We also really enjoyed the rec room with the hot tub and games. Super short drive into town if you needed something and even shorter drive to the casino.

We loved staying at the Wild West cabin! The host was super responsive and helpful. It was stocked with everything we forgot to bring, from coffee to olive oil. We drove up to banning state park for a beautiful hike.

Weekend Trip to The Wooded Retreat/breakfast/spa
My husband and I enjoyed our time at the Wooded Retreat so much. It was wonderful to retreat to the peace and serenity of this cozy little cabin. Our favorite part was sitting by the warmth of the campfire, listening to the birds singing and watching the leaves fall. So thankful we found this little gem.
