About this property

The DEN Shipping Container Cabin-HotTub!-High Speed WiFi!-Great View! BOOK IT!

The Shipping Container Den in Red River Gorge is a modern, private retreat crafted from a repurposed shipping container. I've taken a shipping container with character and made a really unique and comfortable place to stay while you visit Red River Gorge. The cabin sits on the side of a hill with a spectacular view across the valley to the cliff line on the other side. While it is secluded, it is easy to get to. The road is paved all the way to the driveway of the cabin, which is flat and easy accessible. The cabin is completely climate controlled (Air Conditioning and Heat), has Spectrum TV, high speed WiFi and city water. The outside of the shipping container was left as it was while being in use. All of the dents and dings give it the character that I wanted. The inside is completely modern. It has maple walls, barn metal ceiling, hardwood flooring, designer cabinets and a 50 inch flat screen TV. The full bathroom has a spacious shower, toilet, vanity, and washer/dryer. Enjoy the outside by sitting by the stainless steel fire pit or soaking in the hot tub while watching the cliff line be illuminated by the setting sun. Wake up to the sunrise through the trees and the birds chirping in the woods. Go on a hike in Red River Gorge and come back to the cabin and relax in the hot tub. All linens, towels, wash rags, toilet paper, and soap is provided. This cabin is the perfect place for two people to enjoy and be super close to Red River Gorge.

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.

Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. We wanted something that wasn’t a tourist trap but close enough to some stuff and this fit the bill. We loved everything about our stay here and would 100% stay here again. Very clean and comfortable. This was a peaceful oasis that we needed! Host was very friendly and attentive.

Off the grid, but not!

Loved our stay at your container cabin! The rental had literally everything we could want, and a beautiful setting to boot! The weather didn't allow us to enjoy the fire pit or hot tub until the last night, but we thoroughly enjoyed them then! We loved having the day to hike and relaxing with some TV and games at night. Shower worked great. Washer and dryer also very convenient. Very impressed with all this container had to offer. Maybe we'll be back some weekend in the future! Thank you for hosting!

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!

Great couple getaway!

We loved the location and the view at the den! The space is nice and the perfect size for 2 adults. We enjoyed the view and the hot tub and loved that it felt secluded. I would be careful on the drive up Star Gap since it’s a narrow road with some spots that are hard to see. We had some trucks coming down as we went up and there wasn’t really anywhere to move over, but we got lucky most of the time with no traffic going the other direction. We enjoyed Toad’s, Miguel’s, Gorge Underground, Auxier Trail, and Daniel Boone’s Coffee Shop (3 times!). Nothing was more than a 15 minute drive with the exception of the trail we chose being more like 25 minutes. Would stay in a shipping container cabin again!
