Boone`s Hideout | 3 Bed, 1 Bath

Our new Boone's Hideout Cabin was custom built on privately owned land within the Red River Gorge, KY.  Unique features like concrete countertops, custom made beds, tables, cabinets and other custom interior and exterior woodworking, double wrap around porches and a hot tub that fits 8 show the time and love given to crafting this special place for retreat and rejuvenation.  Built as a family effort over the past three years, containing 19 species of lumber we harvested, milled and built with ourselves, we are very pleased and proud to share with you our most special space!

This cabin is perched halfway up the hillside near the Martin's Fork trailhead, so you might catch a glimpse of fellow hikers and climbers as they being their journey to the fantastic nearby rock feature called "Gray's Arch," or two fun climbing areas known as "Military Wall" and "Left Flank."

Please note that the access road for this cabin is a gravel road with a large hill.  High clearance vehicles and four wheel drives are NOT necessary, but do be prepared for gravel and some bumps.

The large kitchen, valted ceiling with floor to sky windows, custom conrete countertops and woodworking all pale in comparison to the beauty of the forest just outside, although they are all also wonderful in their own right!  Our favorite feature of this cabin are the double wrap around concrete porches, exterior firepit and hot tub...all beckoning everyone to turn off the screens and turn oneself outside to the leaves, rocks, critters and beautiful sky of the Red River Gorge.

To access the cabin from the parking area, there is an uphill walk of 150' and then two flights of stairs, which lead to the first main porch and hot tub.  Just inside the front door, you'll be in an entryway with custom built shelves, hooks and benches for storage and gear.  There are two bedrooms on this first level, one with a queen sized bed, the second with two sets of bunkbeds.  The main bathroom is also located on this level with a custom concrete countertop inlaid with quartzite our kids harvested from the creekbed below, a large shower with a glass door, toilet and a new washer and dryer set for your use.  A second full bathroom is located in the basement of the cabin - there are photos of our family building it together along the hallway down there!  :)

Up one floor, you'll be flooded with light and openness as the large kitchen, custom built table and floor to sky windows welcome in the sunshine and forest view.  The only way to enhance your perspective and emersion into the forest from this perch is by going outside, and that's exactly what we invite you to do with sliding door access to the upper level wrap around porch.  We have a large teak table, lounge chairs and sun umbrella there waiting for you to socialize with the birds and check out life up in the gorge canopy.  The fully equipped kitchen, a second half bath, and large sitting area where we store board games and a few extra books, is the perfect place to enjoy the stone work of the Hearthstone Propane Stove and each other's company.

From here, for the ulimate sleeping spot, there is one more set of stairs leading to the large loft.  Taking advantage of the specially designed arched trusses, we've created a space for reading bedtime books, relaxing, checking on the view outside or sneaking in a nap while others cook or enojy the sofas!  There are two sets of bunk beds in the loft.  The first has two twin mattresses and a trendle bed that can be pulled out, for an extra sleeping spot.  The second has a queen below and a twin mattress above.  Lastly, there is a queen sized bed located between the two bunk beds....all these sleeping spots have fantastic views and are great spots for hearing the gorge nightlife sing!
