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.

This is what many consider to be the peaceful side of the Red River Gorge. Located near the Indian Creek Resort area. Beautiful valley view behind the cozy cabin. Paved road leading almost all the way to cabin, then well groomed gravel the last bit to the cabin. The view from the hot tub is absolutely beautiful and it is an unobstructed view of trees, valley and cave. There is also a seasonal waterfall visible from the deck. The hot tub sits on a covered 12'x60' deck that also has a dining table as well as a screened in porch with couch and chairs.
Close to the cabin are long beautiful roads for walks and a marked old logging trail that is called Laurel Rock Trail. The cabin is 30-45 minutes from different attractions and areas in Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge and Cave Run Lake. Devil's Market House Arch trail is 15-minutes away. Many of the most familiar trails and hikes are about 40-minutes away. There are several great trailheads about 25-minutes away on the road leading to the famous Nada Tunnel. Most trailheads allow limited parking on the side of the road. Some have dedicated parking lots.

Guests often write about Gorge Underground, Zip lining, Natural Bridge Skylift, Out the Top ATV Adventures, Fishing and boating at Cave Run Lake.
