About this property

Cozy cabin with views of Cave Run Lake-2 miles from Zilpo beach

Cave Run Lake Hideaway is your getaway! One of the only cabins you'll find with a breathtaking view of Cave Run Lake! Enjoy the beautiful views from the screened in porch or while enjoying the tranquility of the hot tub. This secluded cabin, on its own private road, is surrounded by the Daniel Boone National Forest and is only minutes from one of two access points to the lake, Zilpo Campground, or Leatherwood boat ramp.

The newly renovated cabin has two fully stocked kitchens with everything you would need including pots and pans, crock pots, air fryers, indoor grills, outdoor gas and charcoal grills (briquettes and lighter fluid are not included), blenders, and coffee makers (one pod coffee maker and one drip coffee maker, pods and coffee are provided).

There is a whole separate living area in the walk-out basement which includes one of the kitchens, a private bedroom, a game room with pool table and dart board, a half bath, and an outdoor shower.

The main floor of the cabin has a spacious screened in porch with a futon, dinner table, and ample seating for the whole crew while you take in the view. Just off the screened in porch is the new hot tub!

The main floor kitchen has been updated with granite counter tops and new appliances. The open floor plan boasts beautiful views to the outdoors and is open to the two loft areas upstairs that are connected by a swinging bridge!

The property also provides ample space for parking and turning around your boats and jet skis.

Cave Run Lake was voted one of the best lakes you've never heard of in 2022 by Lonely Planet and it's right at your back door when you visit our cabin. We promise you won't be disappointed in your stay and the experience nature brings when you stay at Cave Run Lake Hideaway.

Please note there is no smoking of any kind allowed in the cabin or on the covered porch. Failure to abide by the no smoking guideline is automatic forfeiture of your full deposit. Also please note, firewood for the firepit is not provided.

Perfect for a Peaceful Getaway

We greatly enjoyed our long weekend here. The home was immaculate and had so many thoughtful conveniences that made our stay super comfortable. It was nice having the family put our cell phones down to spend time together playing games & shooting pool. If you want a relaxing time away from the business of modern life, you will not regret choosing this remote, beautiful stay!

This location is special

This is an excellent VRBO spot for those that are looking for a rural get-away. Everything provided is high quality and this is quite a special location that may not have an equal in the area. The skies are decently dark for those looking to get some star gazing in and is conveniently located near the Red River Gorge area. We enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub, the grill, the pool table, and the dart board. The youngest girl in our group was excited to "cross the bridge" inside the house that connects to one set of bedrooms. A word of caution: the cabin is about 30 minutes away from any real civilization on a winding hill road that contains several hairpins and ought to have way more guard rails than it does. Do not attempt to drive into this location at night having never done it before! Once you know what's in store for you from doing a daytime drive, doing it at night isn't bad but I think it's actually dangerous going into it with no experience. The distance should also be factored in when considering groceries: buy what you need at the beginning of the trip because going down and up the hill is going to take an hour so you don't want to be making many drives for supplies. I'd absolutely do this trip again but I'd spend more time here than I did. Absolutely worth it.

A Slice of Heaven

The cabin was beautiful and met every need. There was plenty of space for the nine who stayed and we wanted for nothing. The accommodations were top tier even down to the bed linens. The views were breathtaking and we were blessed with a small snow shower before leaving. This made trip even more special being from Florida. 10/10 … would stay again.

The cabin was amazing! The views were amazing. All the amenities that were included were amazing as well. I love that the cabin is secluded. The kids loved the drive to the cabin. We can’t wait to come back during the summer and hopefully stay longer than a few days.

Birthday celebration

Surprised my son for his 30th birthday with a trip with lots of family time, hiking, and eating. This place is amazing, the view is spectacular! Couldn’t ask for a better weekend. The house is equipped with anything you need in the kitchen, plenty of games, and a hiking trail right off the property. Would highly recommend

Weekend Getaway

This cabin was a beautiful retreat for the weekend. We enjoyed sitting on the back porch listening to nature. The view was serene and the campfire area was wonderful. We spent a day at Red River Gorge partaking in many adventures. We would love to bring our family for a visit.

We cannot say enough great things about this property. From the views to the amenities they have it all! If you are looking for a peaceful retreat this is it. We can't wait to come back. We do suggest bringing your own food as there isn't much close by to either eat at or shop at. Other than that it was superb! Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!
