The container

We had an amazing weekend at the container. The hot tub was fantastic and the view was beautiful. The only problem that we had was it said it was easily accessible and it wasn't for a motorcycle which is what we were on.

Loved the view, cleanliness, comfort, and privacy. By far the nicest and most modern small cabin that we've stayed in at the gorge. Would definitely stay again.

Our honeymoon

We chose this cabin for our honeymoon stay at red river gorge. It was very clean and just a cute little spot for just us two. We mainly just slept there because we hiked all day but it was great to come back to at the end of the day, sit in the hot tube and enjoy the outdoors!! Would 100% stay again!!

Can’t contain my praise for the container den!

What a delightful abode! This cozy, clean, and modern spot is perfect for a secluded weekend getaway. With a hot tub, grill, fire pit, and a breathtaking view, you would be perfectly content staying put for the duration of the stay. But local spots (Daniel Boone Coffee Shop, for example) & a quick drive to the gorge & walking trails make it worth it to venture out. Cannot recommend this spot enough!

Birthday weekend

Out of the three, this has been the best cabin we’ve stayed at in the Gorge! The hot tub was killer and the container was very clean and comfortable, (mattress included!) This place is also close to all of the attractions. Having cable in a storage container is hilarious. And we even had a family of deer inspect us as we had our fire going! Oh, and the view of the mountains was amazing. We’ll certainly be back!

Our favorite in the area

This is our 2nd stay on this property, our first in this cabin. Both are fantastic. The cabins are unique, clean, and very well done. Great view in the morning and the evening. The location is perfect for the things we like to do in the area. Will definitely be staying here again when come back in the spring.
