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.
