About this property

Sleepy Bear: Luxe cabin, private lake, hottub, caves, fast WiFi @ BearTrackLake

A Sleepy Bear's Dream is, as the name suggests, a dream. It's our second cabin and sleeps up to five in two bedrooms and a sleeping loft, which overlooks the great room. A 21-foot tall tree sits in the middle of the great room, supporting the main beams of the building.

The front of the house has a bow-shaped deck extending over the water where fish eagerly await a handout (from your provided fish food). Both bedrooms have private balconies, and huge outdoor living spaces are on each side of the building. The loft has its own balconies, which can be reached through patio doors. Our cabin is now equipped with up to 300Mbps fiber internet.

The ground floor contains a large recreational area featuring a hot tub, pool table, and treadmill. There's also a private dock with an electric trolling boat available for rent.

Besides the cabin, the property has many features that you'll get to enjoy while staying here. From the caves, overhangs, and cliffs to the beautiful trees and waterfalls, it's hard to imagine ever being bored at our cabin rental. We promise you will want to return. A boat or canoe can be rented in season (April–October) for an additional fee, pending availability.

Wonderful Property!

This was an amazing property! Everything you needed was here. Plus - the cabin was nearby to activities, but secluded once you get to the area. We loved it! Had a great time fishing, hiking, checking out the caves, etc. Highly recommend!

WONDERFUL GETAWAY

This cabin was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed the peacefulness and comfortability of the location. The fish and turtles off of the balcony were a true enjoyment. NOTE TO OWNER... The hot tub might need to be checked for a small slow leak since we found water around it, but other than that, it was so relaxing.

Peaceful Retreat

This was a beautiful cabin right on the lake. We were able to fish (be ready for catfish), kayak, hike and relax all week. The property has beautiful trails that are a must see (cliffs and caves). We also hiked Natural bridge and the geological area which are about 20 minutes away. Thanks! Matthew

Relaxing stay

We had a great time hiking around the lake, feeding the fish and turtles, and fishing off the dock and boat. Cabin has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We brought food and cooked most of our meals there. Cabin is clean and well-kept.

Excellent place to stay!

A great place to get away and relax. The cabin was clean and welcoming and the lake view was amazing! We loved taking the canoe out on the lake in the mornings, it was very quiet and peaceful. The lake house was the perfect place to come back to and relax after a long hike at Natural Bridge. I would definitely recommend this place for others.

Excellent 5***** cabin!

We recently stayed in this beautiful cabin in Kentucky. We had an excellent experience. The Cabin was new, clean and beautifully decorated. We especially enjoyed the view of the lake. The boat, hot tub, billiards table, and especially the sweet dog "Rocko" were great amenities to a wonderful stay.

The cabin was described perfectly. Everything was provided. Communication with the providers was excellent and quick. Cabin was very clean and organized. The fishing on the lake was excellent. I didn't expect the lake to be that deep and nice. It was well taken care of also.

Wonderful Vacation

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay at the cabin. We went fishing and kayaking everyday. We really enjoyed the game room in the evening! There was plenty of room to spread out. The various seating areas were especially nice allowing some quiet time as well. The cabin was very clean and the stocked pantry was a nice touch. The location was nice as well with access to the gorge and the state park near by. We will definitely be coming back!

Annual guys trip

The cabin was great, location was amazing even with the lake being frozen, beautiful with the snow. Cabin had everything we needed, hot tub was clean, and the pool table was in really good shape. Communication with the owners was excellent with very fast response time. I'd be happy to stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone with a very small group of 6 or less people. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your beautiful cabin surrounded by nature!!!

Gorgeous place to stay

The cabin was gorgeous and very clean. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need. They have thought of everything here. The hiking to the caves was so pretty and the ladder cave is a must see. The lake full of fish and turtles with food there to feed them. We caught some pretty nice size catfish. We came to hike but never wanted to leave the cabin. We will be back next year!

Great getaway

We spent Thansgiving in this wonderful house. It is beautiful and welcoming. The kitchen was well equipped including spices and herbs. The area was quiet and calming. Our three teenagers and us enjoyed our time together. We had fun in the hot tub downstairs and went for a walk in the woods. We hope to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Janice Austin

Host profile image
We started our business in 2011 to pursue our long-held dream of sharing this unique piece of Red River Gorge with the world. We're fortunate that we've been able to grow our business to four cabins.

We're a locally-owned business, and we're proud of tourism's impact on our area. Our cabins feature the work of local artisans, and you'll notice the attention to detail in each one.

We built our first cabin and designed our other cabins to showcase the property's natural beauty. We've been able to share our love of the area with many guests, and we're excited to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

People like to visit the wilderness for many reasons. They might like to see the trees, view wildlife, walk in the woods, float on a quiet lake, maybe fish a little, explore trails, breathe clean air, and just relax and enjoy the lack of noise. The Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge area offers all of these, in addition to unique, natural, geological, and historical features that stimulate your senses. Natural arches, magnificent cliffs, rock shelters, and historical sites all appeal to our sense of history and aesthetics. It is difficult to visit such a place and not have a profound spiritual experience.

Thirty years ago, our family was fortunate enough to discover and acquire a piece of property that encompasses all of the above. Located less than twenty minutes from Natural Bridge State Park, the 32-acre site has it all. In addition to a 29 million gallon spring-fed lake, huge rock shelters (one with a natural arch), caves that have surely provided shelter for countless ancient people, and abundant wildlife are here to experience and enjoy. There are two National Historical Sites located here.

For the past 13 years, we have carefully and respectively developed the property, building roads, bringing modern necessities such as city water, electricity, HD television, and access to modern communications, all the while disturbing nature as little as possible. Docks, a boat house, and covered fishing huts have been constructed to make the wonders of the remarkable body of water more available.

When one visits Bear Track Lake Adventures for accommodations, you can choose one of four available cabins on the property. Three cabins are lakeside, while one sits atop a hill overlooking the lake. Whether you choose to stay in Bear Lair, A Sleepy Bear’s Dream, A Sneaky Bear's Hideaway, or Boo Bear, you and your family can experience it all and not have to drive anywhere.
