Geneseo Inn - Shipping Containers Turned Into Unique Wine Country Cabins

The masterminds behind the unique Geneseo Inn concept are Steve Cass and Ted Plemons, who hired a talented architect to design an innovative bed and breakfast.

Walter Perry of Ecotech Design was the architect of the eight cabins of the boutique hotel nestled in the rolling hills.

With the help of Crate Modular, they've utilized twenty shipping containers to create luxurious suites standing six feet (two meters) above the ground.

The clever design allowed a parking space for cars below each unit, and the elevated height resulted in even better views from the balconies.

It's not only the unique architecture and wine-tasting that make Geneseo Inn an attractive destination.

They run all kinds of classes where you can learn new skills, ranging from bee-keeping and olive oil-making to winemaking.
