Family Reunion

Our stay worked out very well. There was plenty of room to have a family reunion, with lots of yard space for the kids to play outside. The owner was very thoughtful with the items she made available, from breakfast food in the kitchen to new toothbrushes in the bathrooms. We are definitely interested in booking again.

Wooded Retreat

Spacious cabin located in a remote wooded location providing the perfect retreat from life's busy demands. The screened in porch was the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon read, or to have late night conversations. The property came stocked with all the staples and then some. We enjoyed reading books and playing games that were plentiful around the house.

Peaceful getaway

This cabin was beautiful and the host outdid herself with all of the food that she left. The upstairs is a little dark but we spent most of our time downstairs. There were little hairs all inside the bathtub upstairs that I cleaned out before we used the tub but besides that the cabin was so nice. I loved reading about its history in the article hung on the wall in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a peaceful place to relax away from home.

This property looks nothing like the photos, also to note it is pretty much right on top of the road. Upon arrival, beds were slept in and not changed, towels all over both bathroom floors, dirty toilets, cobwebs and spiders throughout the house, floors dusty, sawdust on both couches, and the fridge was full of food and fruit flies. We stayed only long enough to see everything and take photos as evidence for a full refund. The host has not yet responded to me, our case for a full refund is pending.

Convenient place for exploring the Red River Gorge

This cabin is a remarkable piece of history. The kitchen was amazing. Rarely do I stay in a rental with the option of cooking in cast iron like I do at home. It is in a very rural area, and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck before sunset and watching deer and bunnies. We were able to access all of the Rest River Gorge trails that we wanted to traverse. The only reason that the location was not a five is that it is a drive to go anywhere. We hope to be able to visit again one day.

Prefect retreat for our Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family!

This cabin is about a 30 minute drive from Natural Bridge/Gorge/and Miguel’s Pizza. It is very secluded with a short hiking trail at the rear of the property. The cabin is cozy and rustic. The decor is very eclectic and really cool! The cabin was stocked with most everything you would need (shampoo, first aid, breakfast, etc etc). Which is a good thing because once you get to the cabin, you don’t want to leave. The cabin is very spacious and comfortably can accommodate 6 people! The host was extremely helpful and we appreciate that they allow pets! We would definitely stay again!

Wow! The cabin is amazing!! We couldn’t believe the size of the cabin when we walked in! We loved using the fireplace (Mary had it ready to go the first night). Impressed with all the amenities. The kitchen…ahh the kitchen, if it wasn’t there then you didn’t need it, it was stocked with all things you need to cook with. We did stay upstairs in the king size bed that was very comfy! Bathroom adjoined to master bedroom is awesome-loved the tub!! All in all, we had a great weekend getaway that was super cozy and will be returning in the future! Thank you Mary!!

A mansion among cabins

This cabin is huge. It’s full of antiques and eclectic decor. We loved it. It’s closed to red river gorge and natural bridge so perfect for day hikes. It is dusty. Remember it is a cabin. Don’t expect Marriott or Hilton. There were some issues I addressed with the owner, who seems attentive to taking care of them. There is no pool table. The game room is now an extra bedroom but there are plenty of board games, a chess/checkers table and ample room to spread out, read, play games, whatever. The hot tub is a jacuzzi bath. Overall, a nice place to stay with plenty of room and I was so appreciative that our dogs were welcome too.

Beautiful cabin with rich history

This place is truly lovely - be sure to read it's history on the newspaper story on the kitchen wall. There is a huge dining room with attached great room and a massive stone fireplace. Tons of windows. Large kitchen with big center island. Lots of property and loads of amenities. One of our favorite places was the screened in porch with the great views of the outdoors. Very spacious and comfortable. Communicating with host was easy as Mary is very accomodating. Having dinner prepared for us for a night and breakfast foods in the fridge was really a nice bonus. We didn't use the trails as we had a puppy with us, but the front yard is very large and they loved exploring just that area. We also had beautiful weather. Also loved the outdoor deck. Had a few hiccups with some appliances, but minor in relation to an overall lovely experience.

About the host

For the past 20 years my husband and I have owned an inflight catering business in Lexington Ky. I inherited the Peddler's Fork Inn several years ago and after a three year renovation I am happy to offer it for rent.
I grew up an Air Force Brat and have lived all over the world. My father General James Little grew up not far from here and returned to hand build this cabin upon
his retirement.

Why they chose this property

Peddler’s Fork Inn provides everything you need for a perfect visit.
