About this property

Quaint, heavily forested cabin, mountain valley view.

This comfortable, nicely decorated 2-BR, 2-BA rustic style cabin sits high on a hill in Slade, KY with a fantastic wooded valley view. Sleeps 4, Each private bedroom has queen size bed. Close to both Natural Bridge State Park and the Red River Gorge, this cabin offers hikers and explorers the perfect place to relax.

Hickory Heights is a modern Cabin for 4 in the heart of Slade. Minutes from Natural Bridge State Park and Daniel Boone National Forest. Close to Red River Gorge Climbing North Region and dining. Two private bedrooms are provided each with flat screen TV's with satellite TV, and a private balcony with seating to enjoy a smoke or take in the fresh mountain air with morning coffee. The main living room has plush lounge seating, a flat screen TV with satellite TV and a DVD player for nightly entertainment. Large picture frame windows look out to the covered deck and serene forested surrounding. A decorative fireplace completes the cozy setting. DVD's are available from our office inside of the Daniel Boone Coffee Shop & Liquor store. The main floor full bath has a walk in shower. The master bedroom on the top floor has an en suite full bathroom with shower stall as well as a jetted whirlpool tub to ease those tired muscles.

Outside, a charcoal grill is provided for grilling out. There is a trail and cliff wall behind this cabin with small cave. Great for those who seek to find a place to hike right outside the back door!

Road to cabin is a steep drive uphill but is easy for 2wd vehicles paved all the way to the paved driveway. The paved driveway has flat parking spots with room for 2 vehicles. There are several flights of steps to this cabin (3 flights or so) but the prize at the end is well worth the effort. Once you get in you won't be disappointed.

Electric and water utilities are on city connections.

Fireplace is decorative only.

Satellite TV service is at time weather dependent and trees may interfere temporarily.

A well trained pet is welcome with a pet fee. VRBO doesn't add the pet fee, so an additional $55 will be added to the total for reservations with pets.

Pets may not be left alone at the property unless they are kenneled.

It was a little hard to park two cars (we met friends from a different state). It was clean but there wasn't really any way to unpack from the suitcase without a dresser, and the bathroom in the upstairs suite is really tiny. It may be helpful to label the light switches. But the stairs were not a problem and we had a good weekend. The area is beautiful and I will miss my coffee spot in the mornings (see ohoto).

Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear you had a good weekend and enjoyed the beautiful area and your morning coffee spot. We really appreciate you pointing out the parking, lack of dresser space, small upstairs bathroom, and the suggestion to label the light switches. Those are all helpful things for us to keep in mind as we look for ways to make the cabin more comfortable and convenient for our guests. We hope to have you back again for another relaxing weekend!

Nice cabin close to lots of outdoors

The stay was good overall, clean place, good location. Our first night there was a fox barking right outside the bedroom window that woke me up, but everyone else slept through it.

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the clean space and convenient location. As for the fox—welcome to the Gorge! Nature has a way of reminding us we're in its backyard, we're sorry it kept you awake, but we're glad it didn't keep the rest of your group from getting a good night's sleep. We hope to host you again!

We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. Check in and check out was easy and right down the street. Good communication with host. The location of the cabin is great and a quick easy drive up into the mountain. Parking was big enough I could easily turn my Escalade ESV around. There are some stairs gong up from the parking to the front door but we were staying there to hike the area so stairs were not really a problem for us or our dog. Is the cabin new, no, but we thought it was nice especially for the price and views. Cabin had everything we needed and if it didn't there were 2 gas stations right before the entrance to go up to it.

Great location but slightly dirty

The location was good and parking/driving was easy. But the cabin floors were very dirty and they didn't provide many cleaning supplies. But I'd stay here again for the amount of space and location.

The cabin was just like it said. HOWEVER... the cleanliness was absolutely awful. We are not ones to complain as we visit many places. This particular cabin was bad. I understand cobwebs and dust in a wooded cabin. I also understand its a cabin thar allows pets. So we didnt expect it to be immaculate. What we did expect was clean towels and showers. There were literally medication patches stuck to the shower walls. The towels had stains on them. There was hair stuck to the shower walls we we arrived. Just being honest in hopes it helps. We gave stayed at multiple cabins in the RRG and this was by far the worst experience.

Pros great central location, living room furnishings very comfy, nice rustic cabin, very homey water pressure was good, movies provided.Cons beds were on rollers and wood floors you do the math, neighbors super close in great number, view is very lack luster, not great for hiking, showers are small, tvs are small. No big tables for cars or bored games, Worth the four stars very well deserved four stars. Overall we had an amazing visits and would definitely recommend especially if your there to experience the red river gorge attractions.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful. The stairs to it takes forever. Loved the view from the balconies. Didn’t like the placement of the firepit. It's a little inconvenient. The fireplace didn't work and that was disappointing. Overall it was a beautiful quiet stay. We were able to get very much needed peaceand quiet. We'd probably would stay again here but still might check out the other cabins.

Has good potential but needs improvements

Great location, decently priced, gatlinburg-type cabin vibe, but upgrades are needed. Lighting was very dim, TV's were too small; housekeeping can do a better job cleaning - crumbs on couches, floors dirty. Front main balcony & furniture was nice but the furniture on the back deck and back outdoor chairs were not suitable to sit on (need to be thrown away or deep cleaning). The bonfire pit was up a steep dirt hill and is hazardous to get to. Some nice rustic touches like the upstairs hand banister was made out of tree branches, which looked cool. I would recommend upgrades in order to book another stay here again though.
