A Shipping Container Experience


Riverside Hideout is a thoughtfully constructed shipping container home tucked into the woods & hills near the Tuscarawas River. Located near Tow Path trails, HOF, Amish Country, Atwood Lake, Tappan Lake, Historic Zoar, Swiss Festival.

The space

The container is equipped with a private Queen bed and spacious unique bathroom. The fully stocked kitchen is complete with a hot plate, toaster oven, Keurig plus coffee and a large mini refrigerator, grill plus propane. The bar top rests upon an old bicycle frame. The container offers Paid wifi but no TV. It has all of the other modern amenities! There are books, magazines, board games and cards!

••••••TAKE NOTE—-OHIO WINTER!!••••
The driveway is DEEP gravel and some call it steep. This isn’t New York Folks. I do not recommend a car from Fast and Furious 1-4, it likely won’t make it up the drive. Winter months in Ohio are tough. I work hard to maintain it. I recommend 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. Or at least someone who knows how to drive in an Ohio Winter!
The drive is best traveled at the rate of Go during any season!!

Heating source is baseboard. Cooling source is air conditioners. The air conditioners are also dehumidifiers and mostly run all the time. Please see house rules regarding check out and the heating/cooling.

There is a propane grill and a fire pit. You must bring wood. Or Firewood is for sale, $8 a bundle. I need to know before your stay.

Guest access
You will have complete access to the whole container and the immediate surroundings.

The space immediately around the Container is yours to explore.
Absolutely no parties.
No overnight guests past the 4 person occupancy.
Fires must only be within the fire ring. Please extinguish fire with water and never leave it unattended.
NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CONTAINER.
Please be nice to my bathroom door, it is 100 years old.

The Container is cleaned and linens are washed with Melaleuca. We do not provide paper towels, but several reusable towels.

Hot Tub Use
Follow the Warning Labels.
Be an adult.
Please do not turn up the temperature. It takes hours for it to elevate.
Please try not to bring rocks into the tub
If you spill a beverage inside the tub, report it so I know how to clean the tub.
When you remove cover, take it off towards the container and lay it up against the container.
911 For Emergencies

Great little hideout
We had a great time at the container. Loved the aesthetic of the property. Lots of little thoughtful details. We grilled out every meal, which was super easy with the new propane grill. The hottub was relaxing, and we met the resident toad who lives under the deck. He was doing his part by eating the bugs at night. Very dog friendly. It was private, yet conveniently located close to town when we inevitably forgot something and needed a quick trip to Walmart. The steep drive would be best for trucks. Communication was super fast and easy. We’d highly recommend a stay here!!

Exactly what we needed!!
What a perfect place to come get away from it all & press the “reset” button! My husband & I took our dog & spent two nights at the shipping container. We arrived at night, but were able to spot the driveway marked with the mini container & made our way. It was the perfect size for two people, & the host even provided blankets for our pup to also be able to enjoy the couch & bed. The hot tub was clean & well-maintained & all we had to do was take off the cover & climb in. The host provided recommendations of places to check out in the area, including restaurants, which was helpful. There was no TV & I chose not to pay for WiFi, so it provided a nice opportunity for us to reconnect with each other. I did purchase some firewood, which we got to enjoy in the fire pit. We were also able to make dinner using a hot plate & grill provided by the host. We are already talking about wanting to come back in the future! If you are looking for a secluded place to take a break for the hustle & bustle, this is your place.

Great little getaway
We had a great little escape here! The property is clean, has tons of character, and the chance to really disconnect is appreciated. I recommend booking here, but also maybe bringing beach towels for the hot tub. Bath towels were provided, but we at least would have preferred beach towels for the purpose!

Was a great experience! It looked exactly like the pictures, was spotless, and had a few surprises as well 😊❤️. I have TMobile, and subsequently zero service while there... so if you also have TMobile, make sure to bring a list of activities around and maybe go old-school and print some maps!

Perfect getaway
Property was everything described and more! Ryann has thought of everything. It’s the perfect spot to relax and have fun. The decor is adorable and the history of the storage container was fun to read about. There is a “dollar game” that guests have been playing for years that was fun to read the clues throughout the guest books. It’s the perfect space for whatever you’re looking for! We are looking forward to going back when we can stay longer.

Tranquility
We loved our stay in the shipping container. It was quiet and unconventional. The home was well-stocked and comfortable. The driveway was interesting for sure but with 4 wheel drive it was not a problem at all. You should bring mosquito spray if you want to sit outside! Ryann was VERY quick to answer any questions. Great host.

Unique experience!
Owner was very good on communication. We enjoyed the first time container stay. Very well thought out place. As a note, things that are usually included in rentals like wifi and firewood have fees. There is some traffic below the container on a state route but it dies down. We would definitely stay again and wish to try the RV place next! Thanks for the hospitality!

We celebrated 40+ years of friendship at the shipping container this weekend and had a great time! The area is nice and the container itself is cozy, comfy and well appointed. The host is a good communicator and the listing is accurate. We explored nearby Zoar and Bolivar during the day and relaxed with a fire and hot tub at night.

Container home hidaway
We spent 2 days with our 2 dogs. Visited the NFL HOF which was a quick easy 20 minute ride on Saturday, and enjoyed the rest of our time relaxing in privacy up on a hill in this well thought out and nicely built small place made from a overseas container trailer. Great views from inside and out as well as a nicely thought out deck with a great Hot tub to complete the relaxation. Nice place to get away from it all with nice touches including no TV. I have been working in the automotive industry for 30 + years now and deal with these shipping containers on a daily basis. I will now always be reminded of this great place while I am work now, lol. The owner was there for everything we needed but not there to inturpt our private time. You are truley alone up there. Lots of cool games and small personal items added for entertainment. We went in the winter so we were unable to explore the area alot but the small towns around it looked awsome. We will need to return in the summer to hit the river and lakes that are right there. I would recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a break from it all...

The birthday special
Our second stay at the Hideout was perfect, yet again. The owner helped make my husband's birthday special by doing a few things I requested to surprise him like minimally decorating and getting a bottle of his favorite scotch ready upon our arrival. Check in and it was a breeze and we were comfortable during our entire stay.
