Reclaiming the Past. Reimagining What’s Possible.

We’re rebuilding this log cabin with a vision that honors its history while elevating every detail to modern standards. The heart of the home is a reclaimed great room—real hand-hewn logs, repurposed and restored with purpose. But we don’t stop at nostalgia. We build with intention, so this cabin doesn’t just look timeless—it performs like a modern investment.

The kitchen alone is a statement. Two of its four walls will be all glass—one facing the quiet beauty of a forested hillside, the other opening to an expansive view of the meadow below. It’s a space designed to live with the land, drawing the outside in and turning everyday moments into something memorable. That level of connection doesn’t happen by accident—it takes a builder who knows how to design for both beauty and context.

We build cabins that last. Structurally, financially, and experientially. Our homes are engineered to be beautiful, but also profitable, low-maintenance, and market-smart—especially in regions like Red River Gorge, where short-term rental performance depends on smart design, long-term durability, and location that can’t be replicated.

If you’re thinking about building, don’t just hire a contractor. Partner with a builder who lives here, knows this land, and treats every project like it’s their own.

This cabin was built to be more than just a place to stay. We wanted it to feel warm, thoughtful, and connected to the land around it. From the soft poplar ceiling to the texture in the bedding and the deep earth tones throughout, every detail was meant to slow you down — in the best way.

We’ve learned that design isn’t just about looks. It’s about how a space makes you feel — and how well it performs as a rental, too. A cabin can be beautiful, durable, and profitable — if you build it right from the start.

That’s what we do here at Mountain Building Co. We live and build in Red River Gorge, and we know this market inside and out. If you’re thinking about building a short-term rental, we’d love to help you do it the right way.

A luxury short-term rental is more than a getaway — it’s an asset. At Mountain Building Co, we help investors turn raw land into high-performing, low-maintenance income generators built to last for decades.

We design with the end in mind: resale value, guest experience, long-term durability, and low operational overhead. That means smart layouts, premium materials, and finishes that age gracefully — not trendy gimmicks that fade with time.

Whether you’re new to STRs or scaling a portfolio, our local knowledge and proven systems help you make strategic decisions on where, what, and how to build for long-term upside. In a market like Red River Gorge, that local expertise can be the difference between a cabin that books out year-round… and one that sits empty.

In a market like Red River Gorge, there are over a thousand cabins. Many of them look great in photos. But the difference between a cabin that books out year-round and one that struggles often comes down to what you can’t see at a glance—how it was designed, built, and positioned for long-term success.

At Mountain Building Co, we take the guesswork out of STR development. We know what guests want because we’ve seen the data—through rental performance, guest reviews, and ongoing feedback from our builds. We know what features get noticed, what layouts feel natural, and what details drive five-star reviews.

We also know the land. Utilities, road access, topography, and local knowledge can make or break your build. We’ve spent years developing in the Gorge, and we guide our clients through every layer—from selecting the best parcel to finishing with durability in mind. No guessing. Just smart moves that protect your investment.

When you build with us, you’re not just getting a cabin. You’re getting a team that’s obsessed with maximizing your ROI—without compromising the guest experience.

The secret to a top-performing STR? It’s not just how it looks…”

Building in the Red River Gorge is different. The terrain is steep, utilities are scarce, and weather swings fast. A cabin built without understanding the local challenges will cost you—in repairs, downtime, and lost bookings.

At Mountain Building Co, we’ve spent years mastering this landscape. We know the parcels that rent best, how to get drainage properly, and the construction details that actually hold up. From septic planning to stormwater mitigation, we help you build a short-term rental that won’t become a long-term problem.

But we go beyond just solving problems—we maximize opportunity. That means designing around views, adding high-yield features like outdoor showers or bunk lofts, and finishing your build with materials that look amazing on Airbnb *and* hold up to guest turnover.

Your cabin should be more than a dream—it should be a revenue-producing, review-generating machine. We build with that in mind, every time.
