The space
This Tiny House Container measures 8 ft x 20 ft and boasts 160 sqft of living space. Blending indoor luxury with the natural beauty of the farmland, this Tiny House Container is designed to create a harmonious connection. The container features 2 large doors – the container doors at the end and a French Door with screens on the side. Inside, you'll find a well-appointed kitchenette, full bathroom, and a sofa/day bed that serves as both a couch and a pull-out bed for two people. Instructions are provided. Many individuals and couples love the space. While you can have a child it gets tight quickly and we do not recommend it for young children < 2 years old. Enjoy a meal or a glass of wine in the Adirondack chairs on the porch facing the farmland, or take a stroll to the nearby winery and waterfront.

The Cabernet Cottage is on the property of Monroe Bay Winery that is open as a tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays from noon - 5pm and for other events. You are welcome to check hours and any fun events happening during your visit by looking on Monroe Bay Winery main site under "Calendar". During weekends, most guest come to the barn and enjoy a glass or wine and meet the staff and owners of the winery. We encourage all guests to come be part of the family and experience. Those that visit during the weekday typically have the entire winery and land essentially to themselves. Some guest stay to themselves in their own indoor and outdoor space or explore Colonial Beach or the recreational opportunities around.

The large container doors on far end can be opened and has a magnetic screen that clips to the metal container and opens to grassy field to give you some privacy and enjoyable outdoor space. You are around 100 feet from water front per Chesapeake Bay Act regulations :) We are a working farm so you will find tractor, trailers and other equipment around the property. The land you will be staying at is part of James Monroe (5th US president) birthplace farm and the adjacent 80 acres has a museum and farm house replica you can hike to and visit.
