Goose bought this silo at a government auction and he will tell you it was the best decision he has ever made in his life. The forty-foot concrete walls provide what he calls unbeatable insulation — guests say the temperature is just perfect year-round, no HVAC needed. He added fairy lights all the way down the shaft for ambiance and the effect is honestly magical. Ladder access keeps things exclusive, which is how a property like this should feel.

The fairy lights down the shaft are magical. Goose has turned a genuine bunker into an experience. Concrete walls as cozy as advertised.

The forty-foot walls do provide unbeatable insulation. I had the deepest sleep of my adult life. Goose is an excellent host.

Descent via ladder is an experience in itself. The smell of concrete and old hydraulic fluid is oddly comforting. Loved every hour.

No cell signal forty feet underground. Best digital detox of my life. Goose left a paperback library that was perfectly curated.

Remarkable property. The only thing I'd add is a softer ladder grip — my palms were sore by the third descent. But the stay itself was extraordinary.

Response from host

Noted on the ladder — I've ordered rubberized grip tape and it should be in place for the next booking. Thanks for the thought!

The government auction origin story makes this even more charming. Goose is incredibly knowledgeable about missile infrastructure. Ten out of ten.

Underground travel is the future. Absolute privacy, absolute quiet, absolute concrete. I will return.

Got stuck at the bottom because I misread the ladder procedure. Was down there for eleven hours before Goose heard the banging. The fairy lights kept my spirits up. Host was responsive once in range.

Response from host

The ladder procedure card is laminated and posted at every fifteen-foot interval — I'm upgrading the signage based on this visit! So glad you're okay. Eleven hours is honestly impressive.

The exclusive ladder access really does keep the riffraff out. Amazing exclusivity for a property at this price point. Goose is legendary.
