Tree house, tiny home, shipping container, luxury hotel - the Forest Container is all 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. 👍🏼Glamp in style in this one room converted shipping container elevated like a steel treehouse in the beautiful woods near the Cuyuna Mountain Bike trails. The interior is efficient and luxe, making the most of limited space within the 8′ x 20′ container. Just like most hotel rooms, there’s no kitchen but there is a mini-fridge and coffee machine. Built for the year-round Minnesota climate, it features a spray foam shell, triple-glazed windows and doors, solar powered HVAC, LED lighting and hydronic in-floor heat. The water system is self-contained, with a 250-gallon water tank that supplies an on-demand water heater. A high-end, roomy shower keeps a body happy. Enjoy the sunset after your ride on the huge wrap-around deck or around the campfire. The container has one double bed. The Hipcamp software displays it “sleeps 4” but that is the max amount of people that can rent here. You’ll want a tent for those not on the double bed. Please note that the toilet is dry flush style, and although it works great, we do require that you tie up and dispose of your waste at the end of your visit. Thank you!

The container was a great getaway for the night! I’ve never stayed in something like it before and would recommend to anyone who enjoys being out doors

What a lovely, peaceful place to stay! The Forest Container is so cleverly made (I loved messing around with the creative lighting options) and so cozy warm, it was a delightful getaway. My favorite things were waking up and watching the sun rise from the comfy bed, and sitting on the deck watching the clouds and birds. Thomas was super helpful, and we had a great dinner out at the Iron Range eatery. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Stayed for a one-night getaway in December and it was wonderful. Thomas was super helpful and quick to respond to any questions before, and during our stay. Will definitely come back to stay at The Forest Container in the future!

The container stay was nice and secluded in the woods for a nice quiet getaway from the cities and we were able to connect with nature. The inside was nice and cozy and we could play board games, journal and have a hot cup of coffee. I would recommend this stay to friends and family this was our first experience with the hip camp app and it was a fun way to camp in style.
