KarKens Container Home

This memorable place is anything but ordinary. This unique container home with 2-40 foot shipping containers offset is a comfortable 2 bedroom, 1 bath home with a full kitchen and laundry. Comfortable setting and gorgeous views. Make yourself at home in this stylish unique home away from home. Excited to host you!
1 mile from town or the Island park on the popular Bar Hill, 20 minutes from goldbug hot springs trail head, 45 minutes to Lost trail ski resort, and 1 mile to the hockey rink. Enjoy!
The space
open cohesive living areas and 2 themed bedrooms all with colors and style of that around you from outside in.. 1 mile to town and views to enjoy
Guest access
the whole house will be accessible minus 2 locked cabinets - otherwise all open for you.
Other things to note
I currently reside on the property in another home. The siding is not complete and likly will be during August/September time 2025. There are chickens on the property and 1 dog and 1 cat (both not allowed in the container home) both very friendly.

also, eventually a rooftop deck will be added to this so check back and stay again for that.
During your stay at this vacation home, you're just a quick walk from Salmon River. The vacation home offers a kitchen and a fireplace.

Container Home : It was great!
We really enjoyed our time. The layout works well, and all the rooms not only flowed well but were what one would expect from a much larger traditional home. Views of the valley and distant mountains were beautiful at sunset and sunrise. And only 1 mile from downtown.

Excellent Host
Host was very responsive and easy to work with and the little house is just as described. I really appreciated being able to get laundry done and have space to relax. There's a nice hot shower, and kitchen had all the items you would need to prepare any food. Super easy checkin process. Just be aware Google Maps will tell you to turn right onto 9th and really it is a left.

Container Stay in Salmon
Great views of the mountains to the east. Cozy property that is easy to get to and only a short drive to downtown. The only downside, albeit temporary, was noise from an adjacent new home build and the contractor using the Container Home's driveway to unload materials. That just seemed a bit presumptuous to us as guests.

The view and location of KarKen was outstanding! The bed was so comfortable after a very long day of travel. Everything we could possibly need was available, even farm fresh eggs. We will definitely be back.

Gorgeous view and convenient location
Place had everything our little family of four needed and a gorgeous Mountain View. Location was great and central for us as we had several activities in and out of town. I would definitely stay here again and recommend. Owner had great and swift communication. Also, fresh eggs were a great touch.

Great stay
This gem checks all the boxes and then some! We were looking for something unique and found it. The property is very easy to find and recognize, close to everything in Salmon, very clean, and comfortable and wow, what a view from the main window! I would stay at this location again with zero hesitation!
