About this property

Cave Run Red River Gorge Cabin

This A frame cabin is a unique 2.5 acre getaway that is nestled in the Daniel Boone
National Forest just minutes away from Cave Run Lake, Broke Leg Falls, Red River Gorge, Morehead, and about 45 minutes from Carter Caves! You will be surrounded by nothing but nature. If you love the outdoors there is plenty to keep you busy... hiking, fishing, boating, kayaking, mountain biking, golfing, and of course if you just want a place to get away from it all this is your spot. There is a gas and charcoal fire grill to cook those burgers and roast the hot dogs. Fire pit out back perfect to roast marshmallows, eat smores and tell a few scary ghost stories. It’s a great place to escape and enjoy the simple simple things in life.

Other things to note
The cabin is at the end of the gravel driveway. The driveway has a steep incline to get
up to the main road when leaving the cabin. In the case of rain/snow I would suggest
parking at the top and walking down to the cabin. We do have pillows/towels/bed linens
available.
-We do not have any closets, dressers and/or hangers
-We do have a washer &; dryer but it is NOT for the use of guests.
-The cabin is in the middle of Daniel Boone National Forest so therefore you might see
bugs and other animals that live there.
-We do ask that guests take all the food from the fridge/take trash out and clean dishes
before they leave the cabin.

Where you’ll be
Wellington, Kentucky, United States
The neighborhood is very quite, and honestly you won’t see anyone because the cabin is very private you can't see it from the road.

Weekend getaway

Overall good experience! Cute place. Driveway as mentioned is tricky. We didn’t have a car with 4-wheel drive and were advised to park at the top. The walk going up and down wasn’t the smoothest but not terrible.

Amazing cabin

We actually stayed at another property owned by this owner, but i can't seem to be able to leave a recommendation on that cabin. The host was amazing, very reaponsive, and went above and beyond. Every detail was met, cabin was clean and very well stocked with everything we didn’t think to bring. Would very much recommend. We had a much needed and very relaxing weekend.

Beautiful cabin in the woods

This cabin was exactly what we needed to get away from the stress of the city. The trails and cliffs right behind made for a wonderful day of exploring. The people we ran into where of the best nature and the friendliest people I can imagine meeting. Good time.. BEAUTIFUL.. and wonderful people. I couldn’t recommend this cabin more. Thank you so much for having us.

Great stay with a well stocked cabin

Awesome property with AC. Hot while we were there so was great to have. Fire pit and chairs were great. Full kitchen with everything we needed to make 5 star meals. Only slight negatives was the driveway to the cabin. Had a Subaru, so wasn’t an issue for us, but if you had to walk down all your stuff, that would be cumbersome both down and back up. It’s an AFrame so the stairs to the loft are tight and steep. Still was able to conquer after a few bourbons. Owner was responsive and informative. Highly recommend enjoying this cabin.
