A guys weekend
I hosted some friends for my birthday at The Container Experience. We’d rented two of the three containers for 6 guys. It was a great trip, and we mostly used the containers for cooking and sleeping, spending most of the time outside in the common area and by the firepit. Practically, we fit 2 guys in each container (1 on the bed and 1 on the couch) and the other two camped on the lawn. Luckily we had perfect weather the whole weekend, as it would have been hard to enjoy good company if we’d all had to fit into the container! The kitchenette was sufficient for heating food up, and I’d also brought a cast iron and camp stove for more cook-ability outdoors. The best part was the availability of a hot shower right inside, and the large concrete pad for hanging around outside. We were surprised that there are other rentable units on the same property, so it felt more like a campground with lots of different groups in proximity. But everyone was kind and respectful, and the weekend was well worth it. I plan to go back sometime soon with my family!

Fun place to stay
Kathy’s land and container lodging was perfect for us. Very comfortable bed, quiet area and fun Beetles decor. Having a hipcamp with a shower and a toilet was so nice for this particular trip. We were visiting our daughter at Elon University which was short 30 min drive and a fun downtown music and vendors on Fri. Unexpected perks was the quaint town of Saxapahaw who also had live band and vendors sat night. We met a few cool locals and had a great meal and service at The Eddy ( only about 5 min away). Had a relaxing and fun time at Pennylane. Check in and out was easy and Kathy was a very responsive host. Place was clean and equipped with small fridge, freezer and coffee maker! We did not cook a full meal but you could since it is equipped with electric stove top.

High on the whimsy factor!
What a fun overnight! Eclectic, comfortable space with outside chairs and a tiki bar overlooking the gorgeous golf course and beach with a view of a submarine!
Okay, it's really a six foot putting green and a sand pit but there definitely is a submarine looking thing on the lawn. :)
That encapsulates these Beatles themed containers within a quick drive or bike ride of the funky, granola town of Saxapahaw. Terrific for visiting one of the several low key restaurants, brewery and the renowned Haw River Ball Room.
Thanks Kathy for a fun overnight less than an hour from our house!
