About this property

The Container Den - Shipping Container Cabin with Hot Tub - WiFi - Great View!

Summary:
The Shipping Container Den in Red River Gorge is a modern, innovative retreat crafted from repurposed containers. Nestled in nature, it combines a new design with contemporary comforts, offering a unique and cozy escape for adventurers.

The Space:
This cabin is cleaned and maintained by Amanda, the owner! She, together with her husband, has built and maintained the shipping container cabins for 9 years.
This is the latest shipping container cabin on this property in Red River Gorge! The designer has transformed this shipping container into a really unique and comfortable place to stay while you visit the Red River Gorge. The cozy space 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 Dish Network TV, Hughesnet 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 was desired. 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. It’s only ten minutes to Natural Bridge State Park, La Cabana Mexican Restaurant, Miguel’s Pizza, and the NADA Tunnel! Toad’s BARn and Grill is new and is only thee miles from the cabin.

Conveniently located, the cabin is just: • 10 to 15 minutes from Natural Bridge State Park, Miguel’s Pizza, La Cabana Mexican Restaurant, and the iconic Nada Tunnel. • 5 minutes from Toad’s BARn and Grill, a local favorite. Whether you’re seeking outdoor adventure or a quiet retreat, this modern, cozy cabin offers the perfect place to relax and recharge.

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!

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!

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!

Oh my goodness.....I never would have thought that a shipping container could feel SO incredibly spacious, luxurious, warm and cozy! This beautiful property by far surpassed any of our expectations. It felt so comfortable and was spotlessly clean. Everything was well thought of and properly stocked with everything we needed for our long weekend. Seriously, if you've never stayed in any kind of "container den/cabin," then definitely book this one....perfect for a couple's getaway! Especially with the private lot/view and perfect sized hot tub for 2! The location was close to everything that we typically drive to while visiting RRG also.We will definitely be back...would love to bring more family and stay at the larger container den/cabin up the hill!

Unique Experience

Coming into the property was easy per our host Amanda's instructions. The hill was steep but okay with FWD. The outside of the property gave the authentic experience of a "shipping container." The lot was mostly private but there were other lodges were near by. The view from the back of container was beautiful. We enjoyed the privacy of the hot tub and sitting by the firepit. The container was immaculate and just enough room for two people. The amenities were great allowing us to bring in just what we needed for a comfortable stay. There were no on site trails to hike but everything was less than a 10 min drive away. We would definitely return!

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!!

Birthday Weekend

This Container Cabin was amazing. When you first see it, you may be leery but according to the owner, this is the look they were going for and it is cool. So, you step inside the container and it is not what you would expect..it was absolutely amazing and extremely clean. It looked brand new. I chatted with the owner via text and she was very helpful and extremely nice. The setting of the container cabin was beautiful. I loved waking up in the morning and going outside to sit in the chairs and drink my coffee while watching the sun come up. I would highly recommend this place!!! We will go back ourselves.

Red river gorge weekend

This was by far the nicest/cleanest VRBO property we've ever stayed in. Great communication from the host, super easy check-in/checkout. Everything exactly as described. Very private setting at the container den and very close to all the attractions! We couldn't be happier! Thanks so much to Amanda for a great property and experience.
