The cabin had what we needed. Unfortunately we had a few run ins with some mice during our stay, they were in the ceiling above us and we woke up both mornings with mouse droppings in the bed with us. The property manager said they were going to have cleaning look into this which is good but it didn’t help us for our stay. Also the staircase going to the loft is very dangerous, the tread depth on some of those steps were so small we had to go down the steps backwards. A child gate at the top of those steps would probably be a good idea as well for anyone with kids. The front door doesn’t open up all the way either as the floor is uneven so getting in while carrying bags is difficult. The back door doesn’t have any curtains or blinds and according to the description there is a camera pointing at the back door so that’s kinda uneasy because if so, someone could look into house while you, your wife, your kids are staying there. Also, since there’s no curtain/blinds on the back door the light pours into the cabin in the morning so sleeping in would be difficult. With all this said, thank you for letting us stay in your place, I give this feedback only to help so you can make improvements.

Thank you for your detailed and honest feedback. We’re glad the cabin had what you needed, but we’re very sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. Finding mouse droppings in the bed and dealing with that kind of disturbance is absolutely not acceptable, and we understand how upsetting and uncomfortable that must have been.
We also appreciate you taking the time to point out the concerns with the loft staircase, the front door, and the lack of window covering on the back door. That kind of specific feedback is very helpful, and we understand why those things impacted your comfort and sense of ease during the stay.
Thank you again for sharing this with us. We truly do appreciate feedback meant to help improve, and we take concerns like these seriously.
Hi Anita! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and that Sugar Shack was so cozy! Thank you again for staying with us - we hope to see you again soon!

This was our second time staying at Sugar Shack and we'll certainly be back! It's secluded but also conveniently located to Cave Run, RRG, and Carter Caves.

This was a great cabin with comfy beds, plenty of supplies-everything we needed to have a lovely time together. We spent most of the daytime hours exploring Natural Bridge and The Gorge, it was pretty perfect.

Really cool cozy place with great comfortable beds.
Downstairs living room/kitchen area is well thought out with great burly couches and cool decor.
They have a record player with a groovy selection of old Motown/ Bossanova vinyl on hand too!
Just fantastic!

Quaint and peaceful! We enjoyed our stay. Stairs to the bed room are steep but we are also are not in our 20's anymore. LOL. Also enjoyed being relatively close to the lake. We would make a return trip!

Easy rental process and accessibility to red river gorge. Was not able to take advantage of the cool wood stove outside due to weather. Enjoyed our stay and would rent this cabin again.

Hi Katie, we're pleased you had such a great retreat! We hope to see you at Sugar Shack again in a chillier season, so you can curl up and enjoy a warm cozy fire in RRG! :)
We only were here for a short time, mainly for a place to sleep and shower. Beds unfortunately are rock hard (which might be good for someone else), I slept on the downstairs couch the second night. Outside of that, cabin was nice.

This was the best stocked rental we have ever stayed in! We booked this cabin last minute for fall break! The cabin was adorable and had everything you could possibly need and more! We wanted to hike at Red River Gorge so we did that during the day and came back for dinner and outside fires after! It was quiet and peaceful and just what we needed! Thank you for sharing your space with us!
