CargoHome builds impressive shipping container homes; this “short” container home is no exception. The rooftop deck, which you access via a spiral staircase, adds square footage with a view! Plus, the large glass front doors open wide to let the outside in during nice weather.

To “fit it all in” without a loft, the house has a Murphy bed, a couch by day, and sleeping space by night. The home also has a galley kitchen, bar seating, and a small bathroom at the very back of the house. According to the listing, you can purchase this model, as pictured, for approximately $83,438 in Elm Mott, Texas. What do you think?

This is a 160-square-foot container home in Blue Ridge, Georgia that’s perfectly situated among the trees. One of the coolest features of the cabin is a giant rooftop deck that extends out from the edges of the container to act as a roof for the lower wrap-around deck. It’s down there that you’ll find a hot tub and rocking chairs with a view.

Inside the container, there’s a studio-style set-up with a queen-sized bed in the middle. A kitchenette on the left has a two-burner cooktop, mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. To the right of the bed, there’s a bathroom with a residential toilet and shower stall. What do you think of this shipping container cabin?

The queen-sized bed is underneath that loft and makes for a snug-as-a-bug sleeping arrangement that doesn’t require ladders or stairs.

Another amazing feature of this tiny house is the screened-in porch on the front, which gives you an incredible spot to enjoy a cup of coffee! Want a change of scenery? Climb up the spiral staircase at the back of the house and enjoy the rooftop deck! And yes, the rest of the house includes a cozy living room with an electric fireplace, a full-sized kitchen with a movable island, and a full bathroom with a shower stall, soaking tub, and composting toilet. What do you think of this incredible design?

Kelsey and Luke own almost identical dogs, although each one is a mutt! That immediately bonded the pair and after Kelsey’s car and apartment leases were up, she moved into Luke’s home — but the house seemed way too big and constricting. That led them to begin searching for a van.

However, they found vans were too tiny for four of them, and skoolies were too big. The short bus was a perfect “Goldilocks” option for them. Overall they spent about $22K on the bus and the conversion, which includes a convertible bed in the back and a rooftop deck on top to give them a spot to have “alone time” when needed.

Like for so many others, this skoolie conversion was born in 2020 when Mike & Tina were looking for something to occupy themselves in the midst of shutdowns. They’d only been dating for 8 months, but they decided to jump into the build and see what happened. It’s now their vacation rig which they use to take their kids traveling.

They still live in Florida right now while their teens finish up schooling, but they have dreams of hitting the road full-time once they’ve graduated. You’re going to be amazed by the tile work in the luxury bathroom and how well they built the rooftop deck. Tell us what you think in the comments!

Deyana needed a life change, and when she discovered bus life, she went ahead and purchased a bus a week later! She worked hard to convert it, all while working full-time as a special education teacher online.

Her practical rig is also beautiful, with a 24×24 shower, lots of counter space, an oven, 3-foot wide closet, and even a couch that becomes a guest bed. What do you like best about her skoolie?
