Perfect little getaway

It was a nice little weekend getaway. The cabin looked exactly like the photos. The location was far enough tucked into the woods but close enough to the main town area for goods. It was snowy and it was the nice little cherry on top. Beautiful up in that area.

Cool cabin

After a HUGE snafu, everything ended up working out. Thanks again to Julie and Robert for all your help.Directional signs very confusing in my opinion. Cabin is in a fun location in the woods and we definitely enjoyed our stay.

Great cabin and property

We were really happy with our cabin and the overall property around us. We walked the loop every morning with our dogs and the scenery is wonderful. We had everything we needed in our cabin and check-in was super easy. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook all our meals. If we ever decide to come back to Kentucky I would choose this location again!

Perfect Gorge Cabin!

This was the perfect last minute gorge trip with the most perfect cabin! 10 minutes from just about everything you would want to visit made it the ideal location too! The cabin was clean, comfortable, cozy and exactly how it was described and pictured! The gorge experience, however, is one that pictures don’t do justice! We would most definitely stay here again!

Great cabin. Unfortunately, despite trying to clear the hot tub's water with chemicals, it remained cloudy the whole visit. So that was a bummer.

Mountain Spirit

I don’t have enough wonderful things to say about our stay at Mountain Spirit! The cabin was clean, well kept, and fully stocked with any and all supplies we needed during our stay (kitchen/cooking supplies, tons of blankets, and all necessary household items). We brought our two dogs and they loved the cabin as much as we did! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub nightly after hiking all day and had a fire in the fire pit out back the last night. We loved how quiet and serene the area was surrounding the cabin and how it was just a short drive to all local attractions/hiking spots. We can’t wait to return for another visit!

Best Christmas EVER!

My Spouse and I stayed at Mountain Spirit the week of Christmas. We had two dogs with us and took advantage of the nearby trails. The living room was cozy and did not feel cramped and the fireplace at night was perfect! We cooked everyday, the kitchen was well supplied with cookware. It was a quick 15 minutes to get to the grocery in Stanton. Beautiful view from the large A-frame windows! The road up to the propery is steep as advertised. We drive a newer Toyota Rav 4 adventure and it made it up just fine in in the rock/dirt setting.Thank you! We will be back!

Thanksgiving get away

The cabin was very nice. We loved the outside balcony. Very convenient to the gorge. The kitchen was well equipped maybe some wine glasses would be nice. The hot tub was enjoyable. We just had to dig out some hair. Lol Not to big of a deal. I would have left the place a little cleaner but couldn’t find a pan or broom. Kristen was very nice and responded to our questions quickly. Thanks

Quick Trip to the Gorge!

My friends and I were visiting the area for some adventure outings just fir the weekend. Through Vrbo we were able to find a spacious clean cabin for just one night.. We rented the Mountain Spirit cabin and were extremely happy with the accommodations! It had everything!! Modern kitchen, laundry accom., hot tub, fire pit, fireplace, etc! The listing was exact to a T !! We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, and highly recommend the property!! Happily we were able to check in a little early, which worked out great for our activities for that day.. The whole process was very easy, and the communication with the property manager was prompt and easy!! Would love to visit there again!!! Thanks!!

Just ok

Overall this was a nice location, but the water never got hot for showers, the thermostat wasn’t able to be changed so we only had the option of choosing heat or cool, which resulted in the cabin being either freezing or over 80 degrees. There was also hair in the hot tub before we’d even gotten in it, and overall didn’t feel super clean. We aren’t picky at all, but for the price, this place was just ok.

Honeymoon

Location is amazing. Very Secluded. It is on a mountain, so make sure you have a powerful enough vehicle to make it up there. The reason I can't give 5 stars. Is for two reasons. First off, the price of the cabin itself is great. BUTTTT, then they add on all kinds of fees and it makes it outrageous. Secondly, we were finishing up packing and taking last minute pics like 10 mins past check out if that even, and there was somebody parked right outside of our cabin waiting to get in. Guessing the cleaning people. However, super creepy and rude to be watched and rushed. I was in love until that very moment.

My husband and I have both talked about getting away for a few days where we could disconnect from everything. The cabin and location were perfect in every way. We both kept saying how we wish we could stay longer! We both were craving peace and quiet and we got just that. It was lovely! It truly felt like home away from home. We hope to visit again soon!

Mountain Spirit Cabin

I gave this cabin 4 stars for location. The cleanliness was lacking. upon arrival the coffee pot was dirty and full of grounds. There was a terrible smell coming from the garbage disposal. Had to flush it out with soapy water several times. The bathroom rugs were dirty, which is inexcusable given the on site washer and dryer. There was dog hair throughout from the previous guests. The TV (Hulu) never worked the entire time. Calls to management were not helpful. Given the price, I wouldn't stay again .

Disappointing

I would like to start out by saying that this is a beautiful cabin. Unfortunately, it has not received the care/attention it deserves. Upon arrival we found the hot tub had a green tint to the water and the surface of the inside was covered in a film of algae. The WiFi did not work for our entire stay, as well as the fire place being out of order. I called management 2x during their business hours and only received an answer or call back to 1 call. They did send someone to come empty the hot tub and refill it. I believe the water needs treated, by the time we left the algae seemed to be returning. He was not able to resolve the issue with the fireplace and we did not receive any follow up on the WiFi issue. There was a nice selection of books with titles that would suit most readers of any age. There were also board games. The upstairs shower needed cleaned. There was black gunk growing in the grout on the floor and it felt somewhat slimy when wet. The down stairs shower was cleaner. There were small rugs throughout the home that looked as if they had not been washed in quite awhile and the garbage disposal smelled as if it needed emptied and cleaned. Overall, I do not feel that this stay was worth the price we paid.
