My family and I had a great time staying at Margo and Jim’s for the thanksgiving holiday. The place was spacious for the 6 of us and our dogs and my son loved the hot tub!
We enjoyed our stay! Home had a nice big kitchen and beds were super comfortable.
We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!
Very comfortable place to stay with beautiful land surrounding it. Margo was very nice and helpful with out reservation needs. They had put a lot of thought into what you may need for your stay.
This rental is perfection! My title says it all. Everything from the appliances to the bedding is top notch. Close to all the attractions. We absolutely loved this rental, and definitely plan on returning. Thanks, Jim & Margo!
This is house is a great location if you are planning a trip to the Red River Gorge. It was close enough for multiple daily trips to different trails and attractions. The space is well appointed to relax and rejuvenate between excursions. The house was super clean and well stocked with anything you'd need. Margo was a marvelous hostess. We would absolutely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you!
Our group consisted of 2 couples who were just overworked and overwhelmed with everyday life. Our two children needed to unleash a lot of built up energy. We needed a place that wouldn’t allow us to stare at electronic because it was in such a beautiful area. We enjoyed the nearby creek, the large flat yard and the beautiful kitchen. All 6 of us got to chop, grill, stir, and bake something. We had plenty of room to eat at one table, built a puzzle on the other table and played games on the large ottoman. This was a perfect stress free getaway. Will be going back to either this property or another one by the same people. Thanks Margo and Jim!! You made our staycation the best.
I gave five stars because higher was not an option. By far the nicest place we have ever stayed.
This property is way more than a rental. You can tell when you walk in the door that this place is something that the owners take pride in by their quality craftsmanship. They provided all the standard items and many many more. The kitchen had a little basket of snacks that he baby loved while she played with the toys provided because this grandma failed to remember to bring any. The place was stocked with games, books, luxury robes, and many more toiletries incase something is forgotten. I was so impressed that I added to that stock while I was there. Didn't see any need to bring the travel bottles back home just because I had used the soap and shampoo they provided. The kitchen has two coffee options a pot and a Keurig to accommodate different groups. Brand new top of the line appliances that will make you want to go to the hardware store on your way home to purchase some just like them. The beds and pillows were so comfy. These bedding was not just cheap places to lay your head for the night they were all quality and smelled heavenly. There was a grill with charcoal and utensils provided as well as fire starters for the bondfire ring. The bonfire is right next to the creek so you can relax to the sound of running water. I know I am forgetting tons of things that impressed me but the things that I have written down should be enough to make it obvious that my only regret was that I had to leave and come home. The hosts are very amazing people that live right across the street and will gladly drop what they are doing to tend to any needs you may have with the home. If you have read this to the end you should not look any further for a better house because you will not find one. Thank you for having us and we will be back soon.
The property is nicely laid out and is right beside the creek. The neighborhood is nice and the hosts are the best. The house is close to the local attractions.
Absolutely flawless. Can’t complain about anything. Easy check in. Easy check out. Got to bring our dogs. Clean comfortable house and furniture. Everything stocked that you could possibly need, location close to everything outdoorsy that you’d want. We came up to hike and kayak. Grocery within 10mins. Couple fast food chains. Quite little area. Wonderful outdoor sitting areas, fire pit with fire wood by a CREEK. (favorite) Nice new appliances. The best host I’ve ever had out of years and years of vaca rentals. Quick responses, snacks left on counter, local information, ice in freezer, patio grille. Only issue we had was half of our group missed the first day and half of stay due to a funeral. Nothing to do with host. Just didn’t have our full group due to losing a grandmother. Margo is absolutely the BEST. I can’t stress that enough. We will definitely be back to the area to hit more trails and get into some water. Don’t skip this rental.
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. It is exactly as pictured. The place was very clean with top of the line appliances. Host is super friendly. I highly recommend and will definitely stay with them again.

About the host
Hosted by Margo Carlson
My name is Margo and I'm a local to this area and absolutely love hosting and sharing info about my hometown. My husband Jim, who is originally from Chicago, and I own and host 5 rental properties in the Red River Gorge area. Jim is also a cyclist who has come to enjoy this much quieter rural life and low traffic rural roads for riding. He knows all these back roads better than i do now! We both love Jesus, our 6 kids from combined families, our 5 grandkids, our animals and world travel. We also LOVE to hear your stories of travel, adventure or whatever interests you. We're also happy to respect your no contact self check in with complete privacy. We're fine if you want to chat....and fine if you don't and will follow your lead. Come stay with us and we'll show you what we've learned about being good hosts based on our life experiences.
