Awesome getaway, cool area, located in a perfect area to all the great attractions. Plenty of space for the whole family and being able to bring our dogs made the trip so much more enjoyable. The kids loved the ping pong table and all the other board games provided. The hot tub was amazing!

Hey Rachel, Thanks for the honest review! Welcome back to any of our RRG Getaway cabins anytime!
The property was so clean, had everything we needed to make meals, enough glassware, towels- overall wonderful set up! I brought my kids up there to spend time paddle boarding the caves! The house is five minute drive to the underground caves and Natural Bridge. It was so convenient to the outdoors- then come rest comfortably in the house in the evenings. I highly recommend this property for future stays.

This cabin was the perfect place to come back to after a long day of hiking all of the trails near by. Super clean and had everything we needed. Hot tub, ping pong, and fire pit were the crowd favorites.

Hey Jon, thank you for your honest review! Glad to hear you had a wonderful stay with us! We would be happy to host you at any of our cabins here in the RRG!
Beautiful home with even more beautiful sunsets! We loved the open space and the screened in porch with the hot tub. It was in a great location for us - close to the Gorge Underground and hiking trails.
It was great to have the 2nd bathroom for our kids separate from ours, and the loft with the ping pong table was a hit!
Thank you for sharing your fabulous home with us!
We come out once a year to explore the Daniel boone backyard and decided to check this place out. I can honestly say we were beyond amazed at the cabin. We dont expect much but this place is beautiful and very well kept. We are looking forward to staying here again in the future. We all thank you very much for lending us your space.
The place was so clean and fresh it felt brand new! We were so close to Red River Gorge all of our hikes were easy to do and it was refreshing to drive back to the place and relax. Caution: the person who sleeps in the room next to the hot tub should be aware the pump runs off and on all night and creates sonic disturbance to sleep.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family weekend getaway for our daughter's 30th birthday. This beautiful home is located in a very quiet remote area where we viewed beautiful sunsets from the large windows. The kitchen and living area was big enough to accommodate all 8 of us with all the modern appliances. We enjoyed the ping pong, hot tub and fire pit. And not only that, it's close to underground kayaking, local eateries and hiking. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We're glad you enjoyed your stay! Hopefully we can host again on your next trip to the Gorge!
Cat's Cradle VRBO was just over the top GREAT !!
Location was private and quiet and serene. Inside was decorated so cool... was spotlessly clean and comfortable.
Great location to all the hiking and Red River Gorge activities. Well stocked with utensils,
and appliances and grill were like new. Hot tub on the screened in patio was an added bonus. Beds were comfortable, bathrooms spacious and nice, and plenty of table and counter space around the unit. Host was easy to contact, and responded immediately if you had any concerns or questions.
Cat's Cradle is a VRBO gem !
By far, one of the best vacation stays we ever had.
We WILL be back !!!!

Pros: Mostly clean, good location, nice home.Cons: Two of the 4 of us had trouble with sore necks and backs after sleeping in the beds. Hot Tub did not have any bromine in it. We have a hot tub so we brought a test strip, this is how we knew. We called and they did come right away and filled it however the alkalinity was low so we offered up our chemicals to help fix that. The TV was broken, it worked but had static in it through most of the shows. We understood it was a weekend and they couldn't get a new one to us in time but the only compensation for the incovenience was 15% off a future stay. We were only there for a wedding and have no desire to come back. There was also no shampoo or soap in the shower/bath tub as stated in the listing. Thankfully I brought some for everyone just in case. Based on these items I feel that one could say there was some false advertising and no compensation for the issues not available to us. There was laundry detergent but zero instructions. Overall it was a nice, very quiet place but I felt they should have compensated us for all the lack of amentities that we expected. I won't be staying at this place again.

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your stay didn’t meet expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to note both the positives and areas for improvement. We addressed the hot tub issue as soon as it was reported and have since restocked and rechecked our supplies to prevent this from happening again. We’ve also replaced the TV and confirmed that all listed amenities are properly stocked for future guests. We do keep the cabin stocked with Shampoo and body wash for future guests to know. We truly value your input and will continue working hard to ensure every stay is comfortable and accurately represented.
Very well maintained..very clean. Layout was nice.Directions to unit were confusing. Just remember to turn on Wildcat Ridge off the main road. :)Would be nice to have more than one tv...and the one tvcould be bigger.
Nice place, great location. No complaints. Be sure to use the gps location instead of the address on the listing.
