Despite being the first place many people turn to when planning a new trip, Airbnb makes it difficult to find container homes to rent. It’s a pleasure to stay in a one-off creation, experiencing what it’s like to stay in a container home while helping the local economy and an individual homeowner.
We curated a few of the most interesting container homes across the United States to make things easy on you. Take a look:
