Loved everything about this property and it has inspired us to consider building one for our next chapter in life (retirement). Terrific location, beautiful inside and out. Thoroughly enjoyed spending time by the fire after long day of hiking, slept great on the very comfy and cozy bed. We brought our own groceries and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook for ourselves. Super clean and just the right size for us.
Just before sunrise. This is your view from the front facing windows and from the fire pit.

The cabin is exactly like its pictured, clean and comfortable, directions were easy to follow. Amazing internet. Beautiful views. I would recommend just a few things for future guests. I tend to forget small things, and i always assume that there will be toiletry items and samples of laundry detergent, etc. This is 100 percent my fault but these things are not provided so double check your bags! Also, if you're a couch potato at night, bring your own throw blankets. Again, all things I normally bring and not a critic of the property at all! The accommodations were wonderful! If there is another forgetful middle aged woman reading reviews, hopefully this helps you to know what to pack. The beds were comfortable, water pressure was great, and it was exceptionally clean! Great find and a great cabin!

Perfect place to stay for hikers :)

We came down from Ohio to do a few days of backpacking in the gorge, and this place was the perfect place to get a good night’s sleep before the hike and such a great place to rest and reflect on the hike afterwards. Amanda was wonderful with communication and incredibly friendly. Would recommend for backpackers as a home base and also for anyone doing day hikes! Will be back 100% :)

Inside was excellent. Stayed in July so using outside was weather dependent… had thunderstorm and/or high humidity. Loved our stay. Only downside was the road leading up to the container cabin. It was narrow and meeting another vehicle on the road to pass was sketchy at times.

Exploring Red River Gorge

On our way back from Ohio, we thought it would be fun to explore this area and go hiking. The cabin was a perfect location, and we loved the cabin. It was clean and comfortable with wonderful views. The hot tub was perfect in the evening after a long day of hiking.

This container house is awesome. The best place we have stayed at in a long time. Very clean, has everything you need in the house. Great hot tub and fire pit area. The best part it was super clean.

Loved our stay!

We booked this cabin while attending a wedding at the bottom of the hill, and since it was our first visit to Red River Gorge, we didn’t quite know what to expect. As it turns out, we had an absolutely amazing time! Not only is the area stunning and full of natural beauty, but the cabin itself exceeded all expectations. In fact, I’d say the owner undersold it!Perched at the top of a mountain, the cabin offers breathtaking views of the gorge. One of our favorite features was the covered porch—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The cabin was thoughtfully appointed with attention to every detail, including the beautifully maintained landscaping.We couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay and will absolutely book this cabin again the next time we visit the Gorge.

Cute, clean and conveniently located!

Shipping container cabin was the perfect retreat and landing place for our girls getaway. Comfy beds, pretty views and located nearby so many great hikes and activities! Visit the farmers market at the Natural Bridge State park, ride the sky lift and hike back down. Eat at Toads BarN and Girll and most definitely visit underground Gorge for a unique kayak tour!!
