Shipping Container/Marysville-Dublin/golf/pets ok

Unique container home duplex hosted by SUPERHOST. Constructed in 2019, it features 11 shipping container boxes - nine 8x20 foot boxes and 2 8x40 foot boxes. We believe it may be the first shipping container double east of the Mississippi River and perhaps unique to the U.S. at the time. The container home is near historic downtown, Marysville Hospital, Muirfield, Mad River SKI, Nestle's, Scotts and Honda of America locations. Enjoy a full kitchen, 2 queen beds & en suite baths and #WFH desk.
