Take a break & unwind in this A-Frame cabin, bordering .5 acres of woods. This rustic log cabin is rural & an escape from busy city living. 2.6 miles to Cave Run Lake and the National Boone Forest. Short drive to the Red River Gorge.
This is a “cabin in the woods” experience, it is not a luxury hotel or resort. A forest setting: ladybugs, birds, other tiny critters, the occasional deer, fox, raccoon, & dog can be found amongst the trees, grass & sunshine. Time spent here is unique & memorable.

Very good

Enjoyed celebrating our 8 year wedding anniversary together as a family in this secluded cabin. Was a short drive to cave run lake and had many memories made in Kentucky and can’t wait to come back
It was a nice peaceful place to stay with my two grown sons. We enjoyed Red River Gorge. I would definitely recommend this place and would come back again.
The cabin was located close to Cave Run Lake and also a Dollar General store. It was exactly as listed and perfect for our family. Communication with the owner was great as well.

Quite getaway
Cabin is located in a quite neighborhood but had quite a bit of abandoned cabins close by. The inside of the cabin was nice and comfortable. Close to longbow marina. It was a great time.
This is a cute little cabin in rural Kentucky. It was a convenient location for our purposes. Our kids enjoyed the balconies on both floors. Wifi was easy to connect. Kitchen had plenty of cookware. We had an enjoyable stay!
Place was just as described/pictured. Clean and air conditioners kept the place cool. Only one room upstairs has an air conditioner so bedroom doors need to be kept open to allow both rooms to remain cool.
If traveling with pets, be aware of neighborhood dogs (one specifically visited the house a few times) that run loose. The dogs were friendly but unfortunately, our dog is not so it made taking our dog for bathroom breaks a little difficult at times.

This property was nasty. Rat dropping every where. Went to upstairs to check out the beds, rat dropping on top of covers, on top of the sheets, sheets had dirt all over them. Pillows had droppings on them. Cleaned kitchen up some, went to Walmart to get a blow up bed to sleep in the living room, came back and there were more droppings when we came back. And the kicker… the “cleaning tip jar” had rat droppings in it!! So gross. We decided to leave. Tried to contact owner. They never responded. This place had not been cleaned in months. I don’t recommend this place. Period.

If we were able to give no stars we would. It was filthy. The bedsheets obviously had not been changed as they were full of dog/cat hair. We attempted to wash things ourselves, but the washer did not work so we went to the Dollar General store and purchased things. Had we not been 5 1/2 hours from home, with no hotel availability nearby, we would have left. Interesting that a tip jar sits out for cleaning service. They may want to change sheets, fix the advertised appliances, and scrub the filthy kitchen floor, if they expect tips. Would NOT recommend staying here.

Could be better
The biggest thing was the air conditioning. It has a window unit upstairs and one downstairs. The other bedroom upstairs does not have ac. The beds are also pretty firm. The porches on the back are very flimsy also. Do not let kids out there alone. Also there were dogs around the house a few times from the neighbors house. We had to keep our dogs very close while outside. When we go there we found a half eaten pizza in the fridge. The cabin got the job done, but definitely could have been better.

Read before renting.
This house is not worth the price. The toilet seat was broken, coffee pot broken, mattress looked to be from 1950 and very very stained up box springs and mattress . Sink in bathroom did not work. Had to use a spoon to hold drain open. Shower leaked all over floor. Deck was filthy and no place to sit. Grill looked gross and never cleaned. Dog hair/ cat hair all over floor that was immediately all over clothing and socks. Keep in mind there is no other hotel for over an hour away so we HAD to stay here. After arriving. This house needs a good cleaning. It is in a very sketchy area. House across street has loud barking dogs and trash everywhere. There was a tip jar for cleaning. I left no tip but had many. Start with basic house keeping because this place is filthy
This was a great place to crash on our journey to the Red River Gorge. Not much going on at the house itself, but it served its purpose very well. Wi-Fi was great, all of the streaming services and on demand tv. Overall we were quite pleased. Owner was very easy to communicate with and was very kind.
Nice and clean. Amazing WI-FI !! But the neighborhood leaves much to be desired. No seclusion and rundown homes yards filled with crap abound in the area.
This cabin is the prefect getaway, close to the national parks and perfectly stoked as a home away from home! Noah was communicative, the home was beautiful, and we loved it! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!
Overall our stay here was good for what we needed. It was near a wedding we were attending at Sunset Ridge Farms and just a under an hour from the Gorge. Both of which we enjoyed! We were able to bring our dog so that also was nice. The only reason for not giving 5-stars is because of the cleanliness of the cabin. It wasn’t dirty, but needed a good deep cleaning to rid the dust and cobwebs. We freshened it up while there (good amount of cleaning supplies there) and was fine for our two days.
The cabin was cute & cozy. It was a very hot few days. No AC. We only stayed one of two nights because of this. The bedrooms upstairs had only ceiling fans. Couldn’t open window or door to upstairs balcony for fresh air. Porch was very dusty. Very well equipped and clean. Nice location. I think it would be great in autumn. Owner was very helpful.
