"Absolutely perfect place for a gorge getaway! Check-in could not have been easier and the owner was super friendly and gave us all the information we could need in advance so when we got there it was as simple as putting in the key code and unpacking our stuff. The cabin is small but doesn't feel cramped and it's so charming and cute plus the outdoor areas are well-maintained and extremely peaceful. My wife is already trying to plan our return trip!"

Sleeps 5-6 Near RRG-Hot Tub-Nice Sunrise-Quiet

10/10 Excellent

"If you want a great getaway this is the place. So much to do and see. Dennis the host is amazing guy. He really cares about the units he rents out so clean, well stocked,and the hot tub was amazing after all the hiking. So glad I found this place."

Secluded with best views in E. KY. Can see 3 states.You won’t be disappointed!!!

10/10 Excellent

"This is the smallest of 4 properties on an Appalachian mountain ridge. The first thing you see is “The View” rolling mountains for miles. It’s simply breathtaking. The cabin is rustic in appearance, but beautifully crafted in barn wood and rough sawn timber. There’s a huge, wheelchair accessible deck that features a well maintained hot tub. My wife and I spent hours soaking, watching the fog roll through the hollows, then the stars as night fell.The interior is clean and new, with 1 bedroom and a loft with 2 twin beds. The loft is only accessible by ladder so, okay for kids and young adults, not so much for older folks. It’s perfect for couple getaways, and a vacation with 2 kids. Maco has other options on the ridge that accommodate up to 12 or more.I like to cook. I was immediately relieved when I saw the kitchen beautifully equipped with a new range and refrigerator and plenty of utensils, flatware and plates. No dishwasher, but if you’re 2 people it’s not really an issue.Since there’s a NOAA weather station and small airstrip nearby, cell and internet are no problem. We were there for a week. Did not see or hear one arrival or departure. Since we used the hot tub almost every night, we went through quite a few towels. The only thing I’d like to see in Hemlock is a laundry. There is no washer or dryer, so bring enough clothes for your stay. The last and most important thing to mention is the host, Maco. He was always available and eager to make every minute memorable."

"If you haven't been to Macos Mountain, you don't know what your missing! We have stayed at 2 of his cabins now, and can't wait to visit again. The pictures do not do the property justice. I honestly can't explain how beautiful the cabin and view are. Communication with the owner is top notch. Be sure to consider buying a tshirt. When he delivers them, he can tell you about the property and surroundings. We enjoyed talking to him. Nothing like sitting in the hot tub or out by the fire pit and breathing in fresh air and looking at the mountains. We had daily visits from wild turkeys, deer and white tail rabbits. Our 5 year old granddaughter loved it! She was upset that we had to leave. She also became a champ at Ping Pong - she insists we buy a table...lol. If I could have stayed there the whole summer I would have! We got our exercise just by walking up and down the lane in the gated area. It'll give you a nice workout. There's a treadmill there, but nothing beats fresh air! I promise you will be pleasantly surprised with this property!"
