About this property

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.

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.

Girls weekend
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.

Quiet Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at the shipping container. The location is very quiet. The driveway was easier than we thought it would be. The hot tub is a nice feature and the indoor space is well utilized and very clean.

Wonderful Stay!
Property was easy to access and find due to thorough instructions by owner. Property was clean, lots of nice touches, adequate dishes. Plenty of towels. Hot tub was great. We didnt get to use the outdoor space due to rain, but looks like it would have been great to use. Overall great stay and we will be back!

Clean and peaceful
Quiet, clean and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was trying to check out but I think that's mostly because of the app was not working. The host is more than accommodating

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...
