It is a very moody morning today, as you can see around me, all the fog and everything. That is
because we're in the mountains of the very top of Georgia. We're about 30 minutes outside of
Chattanooga, Tennessee, at a place called On The Rocks, which is a shipping container, Airbnb.
They actually have two up here, and I'm going to be giving you a tour of their first one. The views
from here are absolutely insane, because like I said, we're on a mountain. Let's go check it out.
What did you think of the views that this place has to offer? You can see for miles and miles and
miles. Like I said, we're right outside of Chattanooga, about 30 minutes south over the
border into Georgia. Trenton is the small town that is closest to this area, but we're on top
of a mountain. That's why all the views are amazing, that's why all the fog is kind of up here today.
It's been raining when I've been here, but that led for some moody and some cozy vibes in the
shipping container home. If you want to book this yourself, the link is down below, their website,
and on Airbnb. There's also a link to sign up or host your own unique home down there. Also, check
out the new merch, homies. Go check that out, buy some to help support the channel. Anyway, the tour,
let's get along with it. You'll drive up this awesome mountain in north Georgia, and you'll
pull up to your Airbnb, and you notice that there are two on this property. There is a single 20-foot
shipping container and a double 20-foot shipping container home. The one we'll be touring today is
the double, it is the blue one off to the left. They are both separately on Airbnb, so you can book
whichever one you want. Next week, I'll be giving you a tour of the other one. So, you decide to book
the blue one. What is it all about? It is two 20-foot shipping container homes that have the
middles cut out of them, so when they're put together, it leaves a lot larger of a space, so
you're not confined to the typical eight foot that most shipping container homes are. This one is like
a small tiny house. Taking a look on the outside, since they are offset, that leaves room for a small
overhang porch. Over here, whenever you walk up to it, they leave the original container doors on this,
which I think are awesome. They added wood up against this wall, and of course, you got your
yellow door that you can walk into. On the other side, then, that leaves an overhang over there, as
well. That is actually your outdoor deck area, and when you walk out there, the views are amazing, but
we'll get to that later. So, another unique thing you might notice on the outside is all the windows
and everything. It looks like this is a two-story shipping container home, and that's because it kind
of is. The owner of this actually built this himself. He built both of these, which is incredible,
and he took off the roof of one of these, and added a loft area. That's why there's multiple
windows and layers. The roof situation is pretty unique. It kind of just bends and folds with the
roof, and everything just kind of swoops down, all the rain and everything. Really awesome. And
underneath, I believe, is just storage area and the foundation. Let's just take a step inside and check
out what it looks like. So, you walk in the front yellow door, and you're greeted instantly to your
open living room loft concept, and everything is white in here. It's really bright because of all
the windows, and the view from the windows. I'll just get to that right now. The view from this
windows is incredible. You have the couch right in the middle of your living room to look out this
huge massive window, and you can overlook the town, you can overlook at night, you can see all the
lights and everything, and you just have a bird's-eye view of everything. You feel like you are on top
of the world. You can't get this view anywhere else. There's very few spots I would say you can
get this type of view with a tiny house. The floors are all this really nice hard wood, and this is
really designed as a peaceful getaway, I would say. There's no television or anything like that. It's
made to enjoy you and your surrounding areas and the container home. Back behind the living room
area is kind of your hallway-ish. There's two doors. The first door on the left is your bathroom,
actually. Take a step in there, it's all bright and white. You have a very small sink right in the
middle, your toilet, and a couple shelves over to the right. And over to your left, you have your
tiled walk-in shower, which is incredible. I love the tiling in here. And this is just your small
bathroom, which is really fitting with this home. The next door is your closet space, which is
really unique to have in a tiny house. You have a full designated room for a closet. And over from
this is your sleeping area. This is your bedroom. I really like how it's situated in its own corner
area, and the two windows that this thing has is incredible. So whenever you're sleeping or chilling
out on the bed, you can overlook and you still get the awesome views. It has blinds, of course, you
can close those, but this is your bed, and this little nook has a dresser on the left, and it
actually has its own AC unit in here. One of the coziest bedrooms I have seen, which is awesome. And
then, we walk out of that, walk back into your living room area, and we'll continue on with the other
side, which is your kitchen. On the right side, you have a hot plate right here, so you can cook some
things, you can get up some hot water for coffee, and then over on the left, you have your really
large sink. I say large sink in every time, but this one is actually a pretty large sink. I would
say it's bigger than my sink in my own apartment, so it's a really nice farmhouse looking sink. And
below all of this are some cabinets that have some kitchen utensils and everything like that in this.
You have a huge fridge over here, and a microwave above it, which is incredible to have. And then
over on the left side, the countertop again. It's this beautiful chopboard countertop, and this is
where they have all the goodies and snacks. They actually have a s'mores little jar right here,
and they have some coffee making supplies, floating shelves, and below all this are more
cabinets and a couple chairs, actually, in case you want to sit here or eat your food here or
whatever. And if we just turn around, the views of the living room and the windows and everything are
just gorgeous. Now, let's go over and head to the outdoor patio. So, the sliding door right here
under the ladder lets you walk out into your small patio area, but you have the views that I would say
everybody wants. You get to sit out here, drink some coffee. The other night, I was sitting out
here and watching The Mandalorian on the laptop. This is a wonderful patio. Take a step back inside,
we'll head up the ladder, and we'll head into the loft. You climb up the ladder right here,
and you have a really large loft space. You can actually stand up in here. I'm pretty average
height, and in the corner, I can stand up in this loft, so it's really roomy. I know a lot of times
lofts are, you know, hit or miss because sometimes you can't even sit up in lofts. So, this one you
can actually stand up in, and the windows lets you look out, of course, and you can convert this couch
area into a bed. So, there's actually two beds in here. I believe you actually have access to a fire
pit, as well. If we take a step outside, you can kind of walk down the path, and there's this fire
pit right on the edge of this cliff right here, which is pretty awesome. You're not too close,
actually, but you have your fire pit and chairs around it, so when you're out here with your
significant other or friends, you can have a fire, cook some s'mores, and enjoy the views this has to
offer. More on the cliff, this is pretty unique. You're not, like, too close to the cliff edge
at all, so you can be walking outside and you're not gonna have any trouble or anything. But I love
having, you know, the rocks of the cliff right on the edge, and they have real grass and everything
right that goes up to the ledge, so it is a full-on awesome experience. I would not want to be the
person that mows this lawn. So, this container home has a lot to offer. I love the incorporation
of two container homes in one, and taking out the roof and making a loft area. I highly suggest
this place for any romantic retreat, getaway, or just hanging out with friends and having an
experience. I always say this, I want to emphasize, tiny houses are for the experience. You don't know
what it's like to be in a tiny house until you actually come and visit one, experience it yourself.
So, I highly suggest going out there and staying in one yourself. If you have any questions about
building them, message the owner down below. Their Instagram is down below about building. These are
really incredible builds, I would say, and he loves to do them. So, props to him. I'm glad that he did this
and offered something incredible. Also, get some merch, and guys, I'll see you in next week's video.
