Absolutely fell in love with this property. Will definitely rent again on our next trip to Red River Gorge. Perfect little getaway, and exactly like the pictures!
We were so happy with everything! The sleep was amazing—better than any high-end hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I was also impressed with the water; it was not hard and didn’t have any rotten egg smell. The hot tub was perfect after a day of hiking at The Gorge. I highly recommend it and will definitely book again!
Host was very responsive and helpful. House was clean. Had everything we needed. Hot tub was pristine and hot. We will def. be coming back to stay again!

The cabin had absolutely everything we could have asked for. It was clean, stocked with nice new towels and wash cloths, a wonderful hot tub and fire pit area everything was perfect. I thought it would be in the woods but it didn’t matter because you felt secluded and private and it was close enough to red river gorge sites.
