Container home in Eugene

Overall a good value for the time I was there, owner very helpful and responsive. During stay added a small Coleman grill added on the porch which was nice and able to grill a couple of meals. Location convenient and easy to get to other places of interest. Only somewhat daunting thing was finding the place, at a dead end and I started telling people who visited to go to the Shack Shack and then slowly get to the dead end and turn. Other part of the location piece was the multiple trailer parks nearby which I had not expected. Pleasant surprise what that though not air conditioned very comfortable with the cooling/heating system that utilized evaporation. Also enjoyed the sky light over the bathroom, added a lot of sun and made the stay more pleasant. Laundry facilities very efficient and easy to use.

Another Great Stay at Box Luxe!

This property has just what we need when we stay in Eugene. It is clean and cozy, more spacious than staying at a hotel and convenient to places around Eugene and Springfield. The Host did an excellent job in creating this space!

Good choice for staying in Eugene or Springfield

Cool concept house with comfortable features. Within walking distance to a rapid-transit bus line going both toward Springfield and Eugene. Stay here, take the bus to campus, and avoid the hassle of parking!

Why they chose this property

How many people can say they slept in a shipping container -- and loved it?
Location is conveniently located between Eugene and Springfield and just minutes from the University of Oregon. The "Glenwood" area is slated for major redevelopment and infrastructure projects are continuing. While the area is mostly lower income now, residents in the area look after each other and are vigilant about potential criminal activity. This home, and the ones next to it that the owner also rehabilitated are an investment in "Glenwood on the Willamette' vision. Loft bed is suitable for two children or one adult. Reservations for 5 persons must include at least 2 children. So, 4 adults or less, 3 adults and 2 or fewer children, 2 adults and 3 or fewer children maximum.

What makes this property unique

For those interested in construction with containers or construction with repurposed materials in general, the owner might be available for a presentation or consultation for a small fee.
