-- THE CABIN --

Master Bedroom: Queen Bed | Bedroom 2: Queen Bed | Living Room: Twin air mattress

Enjoy an isolated, wooded escape with the comfort of a highly-rated care team available for any concerns you might have during your stay at the 'Mountain Spirit Cabin,' located just 10 minutes from the entrance to the Red River Gorge!

Start off your days by reading a book at the outdoor table on the deck , which has plenty of seating for 5 guests, or sprawling out on the futon in the living room and checking the weather forecast for your trip on the 55" 4K UHD Smart TV . Guests love how the great room fills with ample amounts of natural sunlight each morning while they sip their coffee.

The property offers guests a fully equipped kitchen with a 4-burner electric stove top, oven, dishwasher, toaster, blender, coffee maker, and microwave that is perfect for trying out new recipes or sticking with your known favorites. Enjoy your feast at the 6-person dining room table as you catch up with your travel companions.

There is no better way to slip into deep relaxation after a long day of hiking than enjoying the hot tub on the deck. Following your hot tub session, head over to the fire pit and create a bonfire for everyone to huddle around.

When you are ready to turn in for the night, retreat to 1 of 2 bedrooms complete with tasteful furnishings, and cloud-like queen mattresses for the ultimate sleeping experience. Please note, this is a two story home!

-- THE AREA --

Guests flock to the Red River Gorge for its prime location on the outskirts of the Appalachian Mountains. A 4-wheel drive is highly recommended. The mountains are the perfect place for families to introduce children to the joys of nature or for the experienced outdoor enthusiast to sharpen his or her skills on the countless miles of hiking trails. Be sure to check out the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway, just a few minutes away!

15 minutes away, you'll find the Natural Bridge State Resort Park where you can take a leisurely sky lift to the top of the sandstone arch and hike out to Lookout Pointe and Lovers Leap.

There are a few options located within a short driving distance of the cabin if you are hungry for the local cuisine. Sky Bridge Station is a 22-minute drive from the cabin and offers delicious gourmet hot dogs. A healthy local option is Red River Rockhouse which is a 30-minute drive away from the cabin! Head over to Hops for ice cream made in house and monthly brewery and distillery takeovers.

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.

The escape we needed

We decided we need a night away and this house had everything we were looking for! It was clean, easy to find and the perfect size for 2 people. I would recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle though! Thanks for a great stay!

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!

Birthday Get Away

It was a very nice, clean and cute cabin! 16 minutes away from a town/kroger lol! A quick drive to Red River Gorge. The little road up to the cabin was a little rough but both my mini SUV and my friends car made it up with no problems! 10/10 would totally stay here again!

Great secluded cabin still close to area attractions

We loved our stay at the cabin. It was nicely located tucked in the woods but still only 15-20 min from area attractions. We were able to take advantage of the clean kitchen, and bed & baths were also welcoming. Would definitely stay again!!

Cute cabin but...

The cabin was cute. It has everything a family would need. Washer and dryer, cooking equipment, games, soaps and paper towels etc. but it should be better maintained. We arrived late at night only to find out that the beds had not been cleaned and were filthy. Lots of long hairs, crumbs, etc. there were no extra sheets so we had to wash everything before we could sleep. My young daughters were exhausted and we had to put them on the couch to sleep while we got everything washed and dried. Because of that we did not know if anything else was clean truly. All the blankets were thrown into a hamper but we're not folded so we assumed those were forgotten just like the beds. All in all it was ok but was definitely expecting the basics to be covered
