About this property

Ruby Ravine- Pretty boutique+rustic cabin in DanielBooneForest, RockcastleRiver!

Charming, cute clean red-themed cabin with fun unique décor, hand-built furnishings, custom tiled shower, and lots of pretty touches. Tucked away in a serene nature setting, nestled within Daniel Boone National Forest along Rockcastle River! Sleeps 1-5. Open floor plan includes Living Room space, Full Kitchen, sleeping space on main floor and loft above (3 beds total). We have 5 cabins listed here on our property. Ruby Ravine cabin (as well as our Riverside Blue cabin) is pet friendly with dog policy & fee. We keep our cabins and property clean and tidy. We don't charge a cleaning fee. We just ask for dishes done, trash bagged up, and zero littering policy. We're open year-round, and decorate for the holidays. Pretty solar lights come on at night. Keep your eyes out for fun yard art, wild turkeys crossing the river, occasional otters playing in the water, deer prancing across our rolling green pastures, bald eagles soaring above, and a variety of pretty birds.

Our Ruby Ravine cabin is newly built with pretty décor & decorative bed covers, all adding to the cabin’s ambiance with a mix of boutique/fun artsy flare ~ Red, rustic, retro + industrial themed, copper kitchen sink with brass dragon faucet, red glass bathroom sink on live-edge wood. Hand-built furniture we made from local Kentucky barnwood & tree timber (coffee table, porch & loft rails, and interior tung & groove wall boards from local Amish-milled wood). We love eye candy, we don't do cookie cutter furnishings. See photos :) Our other cabins are blue + water themed (Sapphire Springs), blue + forest themed (Riverside Blue), orange/citrus + Mid Century Modern themed (Tangerine Dreams) and green/magical forest themed (Emerald Forest).

We’re conveniently located off interstate-75 and offer a nice, unique cabin stay with comfy beds & indoor amenities, along with the beauty of outdoor nature, campfire nights with crickets chirping, galaxy stars above, and misty mornings.

At night, pretty solar lights will automatically turn on, including string lights over the front deck, lanterns over cabin porches, tiki flame lights lining walkways and drive ways, and a few fun light designs in big trees around the property. A few camping chairs surround a fire pit out front along with a moveable charcoal BBQ grill. A rechargeable flashlight is provided for night time hang outs and walks.

Ruby Ravine

We had a great stay at Fireglow! The hosts are thoughtful and kind, the cabin was FUN, with too many amazing details, and the river valley was peaceful. We can’t wait to come back, and hopefully spend more time and explore the surrounding Daniel Boone National Forest and property!

Perfect little spot!

I had gotten my husband some concert tickets in Corbin and we were looking for somewhere to stay for a few nights to make a small trip out of it. This was the perfect spot! Every single thing in the cabin is so cute and well thought out. We brought 3 dogs and the owner was more than welcoming, even provided farm fresh eggs from her beautiful hens! We definitely will be back!

Dream

The owners are in love with animals. They have a dream of adding more animals to their property. It was fun to see there dream coming together. Susan also loves to decorate and her cabins show that talent. We will return to see how the farm has grown. Thanks, John & Marie

Brand new cabin in Daniel Boone Forest

Very clean, new and easy to get to 4 miles from I-75. It was cozy and the kids had a great time. Lots of fireflies to see as the sun set. Host was excellent as well. Sheets and beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again in our travels. She had the neatest interior decorations - for example the fan pull cords had the best designed knobs - a light for the light and a fan for the fan. 5/5 stars!

Excellent hostess

Although it rained the entire time due to Hurricane Helene, our hostess, Susan, did everything she could to make our trip enjoyable, including moving the five of us into a larger cabin. We were so thankful! She also supplied medication to one sister who had mosquito bites, plus, she traveled into town to buy a propane stove and extra lighting as the electricity was out for a time. The cabins are all decorated beautifully as Susan is an artist. And then there are the animals! My granddaughter loved seeing those, especially. This is a great place for children to run and play as the grounds are expansive, and no traffic to worry about! All in all, even with the rain pelting down, it was an extraordinary visit, and oh, so, peaceful!
