Somerdale House | A Shipping Container Experience

1 Bedroom House in Somerdale, Dover

No Pet/Cleaning Fee!! Riverside Hideout is a thoughtfully constructed shipping container home tucked into the woods & hills near the Tuscarawas River. Located near Tow Path trails, HOF, Amish Country, Atwood Lake, Tappan Lake, Historic Zoar, Swiss Festival.
The space
The container is equipped with a private Queen bed and spacious unique bathroom. The fully stocked kitchen is complete with a hot plate, toaster oven, Keurig plus coffee and a large mini refrigerator, grill plus propane. The bar top rests upon an old bicycle frame. The container offers Paid wifi but no TV. It has all of the other modern amenities! There are books, magazines, board games and cards!
••••••TAKE NOTE—-OHIO WINTER!!••••
The driveway is DEEP gravel and some call it steep. This isn’t New York Folks. I do not recommend a car from Fast and Furious 1-4, it likely won’t make it up the drive. Winter months in Ohio are tough. I work hard to maintain it. I recommend 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive. Or at least someone who knows how to drive in an Ohio Winter!
The drive is best traveled at the rate of Go during any season!!
Heating source is baseboard. Cooling source is air conditioners. The air conditioners are also dehumidifiers and mostly run all the time. Please see house rules regarding check out and the heating/cooling.
There is a propane grill and a fire pit. You must bring wood. Or Firewood is for sale, $8 a bundle. I need to know before your stay.
Guest access
You will have complete access to the whole container and the immediate surroundings.
The space immediately around the Container is yours to explore.
Absolutely no parties.
No overnight guests past the 4 person occupancy.
Fires must only be within the fire ring. Please extinguish fire with water and never leave it unattended.
NO SMOKING INSIDE THE CONTAINER.
Please be nice to my bathroom door, it is 100 years old.
The Container is cleaned and linens are washed with Melaleuca. We do not provide paper towels, but several reusable towels.
Hot Tub Use
Follow the Warning Labels.
Be an adult.
Please do not turn up the temperature. It takes hours for it to elevate.
Please try not to bring rocks into the tub
If you spill a beverage inside the tub, report it so I know how to clean the tub.
When you remove cover, take it off towards the container and lay it up against the container.

Stephanie R. Nov 17, 2025 04:49:31 AM
Summary: Very comfortable and unique property.
Joshua B. Nov 6, 2025 01:37:03 AM
Summary: My wife and I shared our 14 year wedding anniversary here. It is an amazing experience for sure. Loved the no tv or internet (if you don't want it). Great place to relax and enjoy the hard work and love poured into this container. Loved the hot tub and the living space was layed out nice with good finishes. It serves as a great little retreat for many nearby activities and towns. Definitely takes a top 5 spot on places we have loved and plan to stay again. Great host that definitely puts in a lot of time and effort to make her guests feel welcome and taken care of. Highly recommend this place for any length of stay.
Sarah Y. Oct 28, 2025 05:18:00 AM
Summary: The container was exactly as advertised. Quiet, set back from the road, and private. We were still very close to the restaurant that we ordered takeout from. Check in and out was super easy. The hot tub was amazing. Everything was clean. Host has her phone number written down so you can call if you have any problems.
Michelle R. Oct 27, 2025 10:53:50 PM

charity s. Oct 4, 2025 11:33:34 PM
Summary: I came alone to relax/destress for awhile and sew. I have only two small issues......the noise from the road. I know you can't help that. The other is a tv. I don't have one at home so I was kinda bummed to not see one there. Love the style. Overall it was an awesome experience. I look forward to next year.
Clayton T. Sep 28, 2025 05:03:19 AM
Summary: The property was perfect for a getaway. The location was close enough to everything, but far enough!
emily p. Sep 5, 2025 10:24:45 PM

Bridget H. Sep 1, 2025 01:45:03 AM
Summary: Love the convenience of a get away but close to home! The property is beautiful and well taken care of.
Amber B. Aug 28, 2025 07:15:14 AM
Summary: What a wonderful place! I needed a few days away and this was perfect for me. I spent the first night watching the meteor shower from the hot tub and then a lovely nights sleep at this quiet property. The host was very responsive and had such great suggestions for local spots to visit. The driveway is steep, as described, but was easily drivable in ny suv. Cant wait to return!
