Should you find yourself in Round Top, Texas, and are uninterested in staying in a traditional hotel, the Flophouze Hotel will satisfy your demand for quirkiness. The six units all began their lives as shipping containers. Those containers were outfitted with all sorts of recycled goods, including lumber from a distillery in Kentucky, windows from a school in Philadelphia, and kitchen cabinets from a lab in Brooklyn. In other words, these spots weren’t built after a run to Home Depot. In terms of entertainment, the pads sit around the corner from Fayette Lake, which offers both swimming and fishing, and each comes with a hammock and firepit so you can enjoy the pastoral vibes in appropriately chill fashion.
