Great Heron A-Frame Cabin is a unique structure with incredible views of the surrounding forest and sandstone formations. This cabin is located in the heart of the RRG just minutes from the Nada Tunnel, the gorgeous tunnel to the Red. This cabin has an open layout and large floor to ceiling windows that let in ample light. Private hikes are just steps from your front door and connect to well established trails. This A-Frame is the perfect backdrop for your dream vacation in the Red!
The Space:
Great Heron boasts two private, fully enclosed bedrooms, the first with one queen bed and the other with two queen beds upstairs. Up to 8 guests can be accommodated with a stowaway queen air mattress. This beautiful custom space is built to create memories with loved ones. Enjoy your morning coffee on the beautiful porch or sit in the hot tub and check out the stars on a clear night. This location has everything you'd want and more!
Sit back and unwind with the small library of Red River Gorge themed books. This collection includes everything from guides on hiking, climbing, RRG plants and fungi to Daniel Boone lore. This cabin’s interior design features custom prints, paintings and pottery handcrafted by local artists. Games (found in the coffee table), dvds, and reading materials for adults and children are provided for our guests entertainment!
We hope you love this beautiful A-frame as much as we do, and feel at home in the heart of the Red River Gorge.

Cabin was cozy and comfortable. There were issues with lamps and lights not working and some lack of responsiveness from the host.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for staying with us. We’re glad to hear you found the cabin cozy and comfortable.
Regarding the lamps and lighting, all fixtures are in working order, though some use different switches or dimmers that can be easy to miss. We’re always happy to walk guests through anything in real time, and we apologize if our responsiveness didn’t meet expectations. This feedback has been shared with our team so we can continue improving communication.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and hope to have the opportunity to host you again.
Wonderful stay with everything we needed. Also, a good close distance to all the attractions in the area. Great communication with owners. Would def stay again.

Hey Beth, thank you so much for the wonderful review. We appreciate the honest feedback! Welcome back to any of our RRG Getaway cabins anytime!
Perfect little getaway for us. We have 2 teenagers that enjoyed the loft area. The place was clean, beds were comfortable, and everything was in working order. It was right down the road from all the restaurants and hikes we wanted to do for our weekend trip. Would recommend!

This was a great property. It had everything we needed and was conveniently close to the Natural Bridge and The Gorge. The private trails on the property were an added bonus. The views from the Ridge Trail were way!

Myself, my two daughters and my niece had a great time. Location was close to awesome hiking trails and the Underground kayaking tour. The cabin was very comfortable and quite lovely. We would definitely recommend.
Great cabin to stay in. Not too big but big enough. The stairs to the upstairs bedroom were very steep so I don’t recommend anyone with poor balance to stay up there. Also bring extra pool towels, coffee and filters and soap! Super convenient to lots of activities but far enough away it felt secluded.

The house is lovely, very new and has everything you need for a great stay. It is exactly as the photos/description states.
The hot tub after our hikes was perfect - watching the sun go down & relaxing. The stairs are very steep and could use a handrail on the wall side. If you don't get up in the night it should be fine, but watch any kiddos.
The driveway is pretty steep too, and I'm amazed we didn't meet anyone coming the other way all the time we were there!
The hosts were great - we communicated by text/email and they are super responsive. Thanks Scott & Brittany.
I would definitely recommend, and we're looking forward to staying again next year.

First, gorgeous A-frame structure. Didn’t use the hot tub so no feedback there. Lamp in the bedroom didn’t work and you had to reset the breaker in the living room to get power. That wasn’t communicated, so we had to figure that out. No wifi, my fault for assuming it was there as it isn’t listed as an amenity, but the cell service is spotty at best. The QR code for info becomes an issue if there is no internet. No tv service, but they did have a dvd player and some good dvd choices. A paper copy of property info should be left for people that can’t get internet service. Nice new structure with not a lot of amenities.

The proximity to attractions was the best part of this stay. The location was squeezed in between a large number of cabins on the hillside. As long as there is no other traffic coming down the driveway, you are fine, but be sure to watch out as there is only enough room for one way traffic to travel down the steep drive. The driveway is accessible however it is a tight squeeze and takes some maneuvering if you have more than one vehicle.
Once inside the cabin, we were disappointed by the lack of cleanliness. The layer of dust on the fridge, fans, and baseboards was very thick. The bed had something gritty in the sheets when we pulled the blanket back. Every dish we tried to use needed to be washed beforehand. Thankfully, the cleaning supply closet doesn’t lock so we were able to sweep up the floors a little. The hot tub was not used because of how much material we noticed in the bottom. There was also trash left under the porch and behind the bedroom nightstand.
The steps up to the bedroom are very steep. If you’re accident prone and use the restroom at night be careful. Overall, this was supposed to be a quick and relaxing trip for my family to celebrate birthdays and ended up being more work than rest.
