Nice cabin- easy to get to and get around to all highlights. Lake was nice to fish and kayak. Had everything we needed, but as they mention, bring extra towels or just wash yours. Plenty of sleeping room and seating on deck! Owners were super responsive and helpful! Definitely a great stay and will be back!

Thank you, Kris, for the 5-star review. We are so glad you are making return visits to our cabin. We look forward to hearing from you next year.
The house was amazing! So clean, so well kept up, amazing location. It was just what we had hoped. The deck was very nice. Sounds weird but we really appreciated that. It had a great view and very well taken care of. I’ve been to vacation rentals that you couldn’t walk on without shoes because of splinters. This one was so nice. The hot-tub was very nice. Kids loved fishing for bluegill off the dock. The location is excellent for that area. YouTube tv at the house was a very nice perk since it was elite 8 time! Very quiet, secluded, safe area. Overall just a very enjoyable experience.

Dear Spencer,
So glad you had a great time at Kentucky Straight Wilderness and were able to enjoy the dock, lake, and deck areas. We appreciate your 5-star review. Thank you!
Great stay overall! The house was cute, big enough to fit our group comfortably, and provided lots of extra things which was nice. The only concerns we had were with a large amount of lady bugs (15) in the master bathroom that seemed to be coming in from a light, and some rats in the grill when we attempted to use it. Neither of these things were a super big deal for our group, however they rose a little concern, but overall the pros definitely outweighed the cons of this cabin!

Dear Hadley, glad you enjoyed your stay at our cabin. We appreciate your review and alerting us of your concerns. We, along with our maintenance crews, are addressing these issues.
The cabin was wonderful - had everything we could need for a weekend stay. It was clean, comfortable, and the views were spectacular. The host was responsive when we had a couple of questions about the cabin and let us check in a little early which was very kind of them to do. We would absolutely stay again in the future!

Thanks, Rachel, for the great review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you will come again.
The cabin was perfect for a long weekend with our children and grandchildren! The house was clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. The boys loved the campfire every morning and evening. The 14 yr old girls loved the hot tub.

Dear Valerie,
Thank you for the 5-star review. We are so glad that Kentucky Straight Wilderness met your family's needs. Hope you will be back to visit again!
We needed space big enough for 7 adults and this was perfect for us! Great location to the activities we wanted to do, and the BBQ place just around the corner was also amazing! We would definitely book this place again.

Thank you for the 5-star review. So glad you enjoyed your time at Kentucky Straight Wilderness and hope you can plan another trip to the Gorge.
I feel like a broken record but this cabin is perfect for our family. Everyone has a bedroom and is centrally located. The babies and the grandparents hike Saturday morning, then we come back for naps while the rest of the gang gets more challenged. It’s perfect in every way. Thank you

We had a wonderful time at this cabin! Everything was as advertised and perfect for the 10 of us! The walk down to the lake is steep but well maintained and the kids loved the kayaks and swimming in the lake. The area has wonderful hiking and great things to do. If you love the outdoors, you will love it here!

This is our 3rd time staying at this cabin. Our 1st yr was a surprise for my husbands 50th bday. Our grandson decided it should be a family tradition and so now it is. Plan on coming back for years to come.
