About this property

Rise and Shine

Peaceful, pastoral setting. Beautiful cabin nestled in peaceful, rolling hills under brilliant starry night skies. Walk the property and nearby to experience the cliff sides, forest, grazing yaks, and fresh breezes of this scenic setting. Wake to a spectacular sunrise and the sound of songbirds. Enjoy evenings of porch time, cooking out, and snuggling by the firepit after a day of exploring. Cabin is the site for filming the ECHO TV series, "Gone." Close to Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, Cave Run Lake, and Daniel Boone National Forest. "Gorge"ous cabin!

Doug, it was a joy to host you. You came in after a very strong storm and wifi was knocked out in the area but repaired rapidly, a bit longer if widespread. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! We always carry phones everywhere with the goal of immediate answers to calls. We also have back up plans in case of emergency, including a lock box for keys in case wifi keypad locks aren't working! Take care and thank you for being a wonderful guest!!!

Nice little cabin

Getting there was a little confusing, however it is a very nice rental. Plenty of space to move around and a quiet area.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on 8 June 2023
So glad you enjoyed the cabin! GPS isn't always so accurate in the country, so I have included directions in the rental confirmation and on the listing site. I have now measured the distance to go down the road to the cabin and placed that in my directions. I now have 2 sets of directions as well. Your big landmark is the Korea Church of God, which causes the other sites to block my directions and tell me to "watch my language" and cursing is not acceptable because the word God is in the directions. This site allows me to identify that landmark in writing. Also remember, if I get the privilege of hosting you again, we carry and answer our phones 24/7 every day of the year to help with any questions! Thank you for being a fabulous guest!
