About this property
Boxcar Cabin | Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Train-Theme Stay
Summary:
Welcome aboard The Box Car—your cozy, train-inspired retreat in the Red River Gorge. This thoughtfully designed cabin blends nostalgic railway charm with modern comfort, offering a bright vaulted living room, full kitchen, private hot tub, and peaceful woodland surroundings. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit, mornings with coffee under the trees, and quick access to the famous Nada Tunnel and endless hiking. A truly one-of-a-kind stay—quiet, comfortable, and wonderfully memorable
The Space:
Step into The Box Car and you’re welcomed by tall vaulted ceilings, warm natural light, and windows framing the forest beyond. The main living room sits to the left—furnished with a cozy sofa, chair, electric fireplace, and space to unwind after a day on the trails.
To the right, a fully equipped kitchen stands ready for everything from quick breakfast bites to dinner after a day of adventuring. Just past the kitchen is a convenient laundry area, followed by a full bathroom and the private main bedroom tucked at the far end of the cabin for quiet, restful nights.
Head upstairs to the loft—an inviting hideaway with a twin bed, TV, reading chair, and a wall-mounted fan to keep things cool and comfortable.
•OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE•
Step outside to your own private slice of forest. Sip coffee to birdsong in the morning breeze, soak in the hot tub under the trees, or end your night by the fire pit with s’mores and stargazing. Peaceful, simple, and everything a getaway should be.
Guest Access:
Please ensure to enter a VALID and operational phone number into your account/ reservation as all of your information regarding your stay will be texted to your phone. Thank you!
Other Things to Note:
•Each cabin is unique to specific items they include, however, RRG Getaways supplies the listed items below at all cabins as a baseline for guests. A starter amount of the following: hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, dish pods, laundry pods, and basic cleaning supplies. Any additional items needed will be the guest's responsibility to supply. We do not supply anything considered perishable or consumable, this includes but is not limited to, coffee, salt, pepper, oil and the like.
•Box Car is located in the Twin Arch Development with several other cabins nearby. There is a very STEEP road leading up to this cabin. The road is paved in the steepest section. 2wd vehicles can make it without issue.
•Inclement Weather

•Toiletries not provided.
•There is no Wi-Fi at this cabin, but cell service is good depending on your provider. There is a smart tv that is usable via mobile hot spot. There is also a dvd player; guests are asked to bring their own DVDs.
