The container

We had an amazing weekend at the container. The hot tub was fantastic and the view was beautiful. The only problem that we had was it said it was easily accessible and it wasn't for a motorcycle which is what we were on.

Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I stayed here to celebrate our 20 year anniversary. We wanted something that wasn’t a tourist trap but close enough to some stuff and this fit the bill. We loved everything about our stay here and would 100% stay here again. Very clean and comfortable. This was a peaceful oasis that we needed! Host was very friendly and attentive.

Off the grid, but not!

Loved our stay at your container cabin! The rental had literally everything we could want, and a beautiful setting to boot! The weather didn't allow us to enjoy the fire pit or hot tub until the last night, but we thoroughly enjoyed them then! We loved having the day to hike and relaxing with some TV and games at night. Shower worked great. Washer and dryer also very convenient. Very impressed with all this container had to offer. Maybe we'll be back some weekend in the future! Thank you for hosting!

Everything We Wanted

We wanted to stay someplace that was quiet and peaceful that allowed us to enjoy what makes the area unique. We also wanted a kitchen, washer and dryer, and a hot tub. We could not have chosen a better place to stay! The owners are gracious and have obviously put a lot of thought and care into their units. We had a lot of questions and host Amanda kindly answered everything. The location was perfect, giving us immediate access to all of the hiking and parks, and surprisingly only about an hour from Lexington.At her suggestion we did bring a couple of extra blankets in case we needed them (March trip) but were very comfortable. We also brought our own towels for the hot tub.It's a single shipping container so it's exactly as pictured - one large room with a separate NICE bathroom. No problem for early risers as you can go outside and en

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!
