Perfect little get away for our anniversary! We had a great time exploring Red River Gorge and it was nice having a place like this to come back to. We cooked breakfast every morning on the griddle and the tutorial video for the pellet stove was much appreciated!

We love our vacations simple and this place made just that happen! Close enough to get to places to see yet far enough away for perfect privacy! We really enjoyed our stay!

This property is amazing! Exactly as listed…tiny & beautiful! We spent a lot of time in the outdoor kitchen watching football & movies as well as hanging out & reading. The weather was perfect to be out there - and it was so quiet & tranquil. We will definitely book again. The perfect weekend getaway for my husband & I! Thank you!!

Quiet, cozy, tiny cabin.

We were looking for a peaceful weekend getaway and got exactly that. It's small , but has everything you need. We really enjoyed the outdoor kitchen. Used the gas griddle for breakfast and dinner while watching the Masters and drinking a Coors. Luckily had great weather to get some hiking in.

This place was amazing. We loved the tiny home and the outdoor area. We spent most of the time out there. It was just a little further away from the gorge than we liked however it was an amazing stay.

Beautiful property and cabin! The outdoor kitchen is the perfect space to cook and relax. The cabin isn't far from popular attractions like Red River Gorge. We have already booked again for a second longer trip.

I surprised my wife and brought her here for our wedding anniversary. We love the seclusion and the wooded atmosphere. The cabin was perfect for us and the outside bar area gave this place a special touch. We played dominos while we watched football. We would recommend this place 100%.

Adorable, well made, uniquely decorated cabin. My 5 yr old loved the bunk bed and the pac-man game! The outdoor kitchen added a lot of space to the little cabin. It was an added bonus to be able to watch the cabin being built in a YouTube video at Build Life on YouTube. The hiking in the area was awesome!

We had the best time at the Tin Cantina!! The place was exactly what you see in the pictures. Everything was extremely clean & although they warn about bugs (seeing as you’re in the middle of the woods) we never saw ANY inside! We arrived to check in late (around 10:45pm) and had some trouble checking in but Erica was SO responsive & ended up driving all the way out to help us get in safe & sound!! Also the next day her husband brought over TONS of firewood She was so incredibly sweet and communicative the whole weekend with any questions we had. The bed was so so comfortable with great quality bedding. The towels were great as well as the shower water heater/pressure! The drive is gravel & a bit steep but my minivan with pretty bald tires made it fine. I cannot say enough good things about this place!! Will definitely be staying here again!
