What's nearby

  • This is sky bridge. The most massive arch in Red River. it spans over a hundred feet and about 50 feet in the air. Probably the most famous arch in Red River, it has been seen in movies. Many astro-photographers flock here because of it's structure and clear skyline. If you get a chance, the trail is only .8 miles and very much worth it. You first walk across the top of the arch, it is so big that you are halfway across before you notice your not just on a narrow rock path. then you circle around to be under the arch.

Great cabin even better price

We had a great stay at this cabin. It was clean, tidy, and had everything we needed. The yard was perfect for our dog, and the password lock was very convenient. The location was ideal for exploring Red River Gorge, and the peaceful surroundings made for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommended!

Amazing expierience

The host was quick to answer any and all questions. Everything I needed was available and the property was clean. The host went as far as giving us the connecting unit at no extra charge for my family and I to have more room. It was nice being able to walk out onto the shared porch and spend time together. The fire pits were a great time and the extra fire wood that was supplied came in handy. Would hook here again for sure :)

Great Spot!

This cabin was in a great location being just a short drive to natural bridge state park and Daniel Boone right near the trails for some of the best reviewed hikes and sights in the area. It is a great cabin for those who want to play hard outside during the day and have a comfortable place to crash at night. What stood out most was the cleanliness of this cabin. It was extremely clean and smelled fresh. The wifi worked great and there were a lot of nice “extras” we didn’t expect like Ale 8 in the fridge and Roku for the tv complete with direct tv to catch the match madness games. There is a blackstone and several gas grills on the property along with fire pits that would be great for cooking out and sitting around the fire. The only downfall was the lack of soundproofing. We had kids in the duplex style unit next to us that were yelling quite a bit. We could also hear full conversations from the couple next to us and the males coughing woke us a couple times during the night. We felt we had to whisper talk to keep our convos from being heard from the other patrons. While this was a downfall it didn’t ruin our trip or deter us from returning as we spend most of our day enjoying nature and just used the cabin as a space to wind down and sleep. Jeff and Becky’s directions and communication were phenomenal prior to the trip and we had no hiccups that required us to contact them during. Over all we had a wonderful time!

Great cabin right near the Red

2 night stay and we did hiking in the Red River Gorge for all the daylight hours. Location of cabin is just perfect for accessing the majority of hikes in RRG with little drive time.Nice coffee shop and ice cream just down the road.Excellent hosts were very communicative, no issues at all during our stay. Super clean cabin with no smells, and there was ice in the little freezer. Highly recommended location!!

Convenient location

Hosts were great, I was traveling with two teenage grands and they took the loft while I stayed downstairs, plenty of towels and hosts even offered more seeing I was traveling with teens lol. Mattresses were comfy, which I appreciated, the cabin was very clean and we bbq on the grills they provided and they had grill tongs and implements for that, provided high speed internet and television cable and turned us on to Ale 8 that was in fridge, I bought more to take home, close to coffee house and restaurant and Compton for any needed supplies, which we needed, it was so close to everything and the hosts are so nice, highly recommend, plan on staying here every time I come to the Gorge

Wonderful little cabin in the middle of everything

I brought my daughter here to celebrate her 11th birthday with outdoor climbing and hiking. I was so pleased with this cabin. It is super cute, clean, welcoming. It has a shared wall with another unit, and we honestly didn't even notice they were there. It is in the center of everything we wanted to do, usually we only had a 15 min drive or less to where we wanted to go. Beds were comfy, general kitchen items present (microwave, coffee pot, fridge, sink, cutlery). All in all, a wonderful little place that I am so happy we found and stayed in.

Quaint

The cabin was just as advertised. We were looking for something in the $100-$200 price range that was pet friendly since we knew we wouldn’t be at the cabin most of the day due to enjoying nature. The can was clean and very well decorated. The property owners supplied firewood and even replenished by the fire ring without us asking. We went with another family and had the 2 cabins that shared a deck. It was very peaceful in the evening and the deck had plenty of room for 4 adults 2 teens and a child to be comfortable along with room around the picnic area to spread out but not be in any other occupants way. We will definitely come here again!
