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.

Such a Beautiful property

A group of women and I go away for a silent retreat twice a year. This is our 3rd time doing it and our first time at Cave Run Hideaway. I don’t think we will stay anywhere else after our stay here. It is incredibly secluded overlooking cave run lake. So quiet and beautiful. The cabin is so homey and the attention to the decorative detail was wonderful. The beds and pillows were incredible comfortable and the place was stocked with everything needed and so clean! We will DEFINITELY be back.

Beautiful and secluded

This property is fairly new. Its is super clean, very roomy and has plenty of entertainment. My adult children had a lot of fun in the space and there was a perfect spot for our newly parented couple to stay in the lower level where there is a small kitchenette and and half bath. We will definitely be returning!
