Pinecone Trails Cabin – Luxury Meets Nature in the Gorge

Escape to the heart of Kentucky’s Red River Gorge at Pinecone Trails Cabin—where comfort meets adventure. Surrounded by acres of trees with no other cabins in sight, this thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bath retreat blends modern convenience with rustic charm. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, couples’ retreat, or a gathering with friends, Pinecone Trails has everything you need to relax, reconnect, and explore.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the seamless accessibility of the main level—no steps or stairs from the driveway into the cabin. Inside, warm Amish-crafted beams, a cozy stone fireplace, and peaceful uplighting set the tone for conversation and connection. Outside, two expansive 60-foot decks overlook a valley, natural cave, and seasonal waterfall—perfect for enjoying morning coffee, fall colors, or starry nights in the hot tub.

After a day of hiking directly into Daniel Boone National Forest from your backyard, unwind by the firepit, challenge friends in the game room, or curl up in the sensory nook under twinkling star lights.

We do not allow pets at Pinecone Trails Cabin. If you have a qualified service dog, please let us know in advance.
