This place is so cute . The outdoor spaces are amazing and it’s really close to everything. Easy to find. Thanks for a great place to spend our weekend. Kids and dog all enjoyed very much.
Absolutely loved it. The best fire pit area ever. Weather prevented us from using but it was so cool! John was very responsive and easy to work with, so much better than dealing with a management company. We will be back!
This was our second visit to Big Rock Cabin. It was once again a wonderful and convenient place to stay in Red River Gorge. The cabin was very clean. Our family of 4 and dog had plenty of room. We cooked meals and picked up food from the local restaurants. We really enjoy the rocking chairs on the porch and the fire pit. We will definitely stay here again.
No complaints! We (and the dogs) loved the property and fire pit area. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. John was very responsive to our questions. We went hiking and kayaking nearby. Would 100% stay again!
Everything about this property was fantastic. Comfortable, great kitchen, and the fire pit is a bucket list experience. Perfect location for all the fun RRG activities. Couldn’t find a better deal in the area.
Couldn’t say better things about this cabin. Perfect location and close to all the action in The Red. The cabin was clean and the property was amazing.
The cabin was perfect for our family of four. We loved the fire pit and the accessibility to natural bridge trail heads.

About the host
Hosted by John Glover
John Glover: Originally an archaeologist but for over 45 years I have dealt in antiquarian books and historic documents from my bookstore Glover's Bookery in Lexington, KY. I am a nut for the great outdoors, thus Big Rock was born [my sanity retreat]. Anne Glover: electrical engineer, started with IBM and continued on with Lexmark here in Lexington, KY.
Why they chose this property
Big Rock is only a hour from Lexington yet located in the most beautiful deep woods cliffy wilderness area in Kentucky. I bought Big Rock specifically because it is a Log cabin (a must), was unfinished (so I could finish the inside like I wanted), is under the cliff (my golden retrievers don't know what a cliff edge is), has interesting features on the property (massive block boulders, a rock shelter, and gorilla rock), and lastly is close to Natural Bridge and Red River Gorge (Natural Bridge State Park shares a back property line with Big Rock). Fell head over heels for it the moment I saw it.
What makes this property unique
Log cabin that is cozy, rustic, and inviting. All wood everywhere, not a drop of paint or sheet rock to be found. Nestled under a 40 foot sandstone cliff and flanked by block boulders the size of a house. Just steps from a huge rock shelter (the rock house) and Gorilla Rock. The cabin is full of unique Folk Art from all over rural American as well as from my travels.
