the hygge box hop is a remote airbnb retreat made from seven shipping containers

a dream container home that you can rent

Husband and wife Emily and Seth Britt always wanted a place to escape their busy city life in Columbus, Ohio. After a year or so of planning, the pair turned their dream into reality by building their first shipping container home. Nowadays, the Britts have their own company called The Box Hop, where they rent out container homes, which they design and build, as short term vacation retreats. The newest addition to their portfolio is a five bedroom cabin called The Hygge Box Hop situated in a remote site in Rockbridge, just 12 miles from Hocking Hills State Park.

The interiors are cozy and welcoming thanks to Scandinavian-style decor and a combination of natural and blackened timber finishes. The rental price of the Hygge Box Hop starts from from $386 per night. See the full listing on Airbnb here, and check out the video below for a full tour of the cabin.
