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.

  • This is sky bridge. The most massive arch in Red River. it spans over a hundred feet and about 50 feet in the air. Probably the most famous arch in Red River, it has been seen in movies. Many astro-photographers flock here because of it's structure and clear skyline. If you get a chance, the trail is only .8 miles and very much worth it. You first walk across the top of the arch, it is so big that you are halfway across before you notice your not just on a narrow rock path. then you circle around to be under the arch.

This was the most affordable house to stay at for a wedding nearby. If you’re looking for a nice secluded place, this is a solid place to go!

Overall we had a great stay. The location is great if you want seclusion! The driveway is very steep, do not recommend bringing a car! We used our 4-wheel drive/AWD going up and down. It is not trailer friendly, if you’re bringing ATVs or anything like that. There are two twin beds in one room & a queen in the other. Loved that the couches reclined and there are towels available to use, along with washer & dryer. We enjoyed the fire pit and hammock. There’s a Dollar General 2 miles away, if you need a quick run to the store.

A great private cabin!

We loved our stay here! It is such a cute, quaint little cabin and we felt right at home. We loved the fire pit and used it each night. As others have mentioned the driveway is steep but we had no problems getting up and down. It is quite a drive to natural bridge and other locations but we had beautiful weather so we didn’t mind it. Overall a great place that I would recommend to others!

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.
