Top Red River Gorge Hotel Reviews

Wolf Pup- A Frame- Hillside Tiny Cottage Wi-Fi

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous weekend exploring the gorge with my daughter. And this cabin was so unique and just added to the fun experience! The property is well-maintained with modern decor. Bed was comfortable. Appreciated the extra touches of a space heater, games and record player. Spectacular view off the back porch. Keep in mind it is essentially “glamping” and definitely feels rustic but we knew that going into it. We were glad we chose to pack in most of our food as the restaurant/grocery store options are very slim. Would recommend to anyone wanting a unique tiny home experience in nature!"

Natural Bridge State Resort Park

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful state park! Nothing fancy about our room but comfortable. Nice balcony with pretty view"

• KNOTTY PINE•Cozy Cabin in RRG • Hot Tub • Fireplace • Pond for Fishing

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, peaceful location. Would definitely stay again, hot tub was great after a long day of hiking in the gorge!"

TURNING LEAF•Cozy Cabin in the RRG• Couples Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This was a great spot for our family of 3!"

Secluded Hot Tub Cabin |Pond|Game Room|Forest view | Spacious retreat on 35 private acres with hiking trails, wildlife, and peaceful pond scenery—perfect for families or friends.

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing. The house was excellent. Can’t wait to stay again."

Mountain Laurel-RRG | Hot Tub | Discounted Rates! | Private 12 Acres Next to the Gladie Visitor center off 715 surrounded by National Forest Land and The Best RRG Hiking Trails!

8/10 Good

"Very nice pet friendly cabin. Inside was very pretty and clean. Roomy. Would fit 8 people comfortably. The beds, however, were not comfortable, and those sleeping on the first floor can hear everything from the second. The hot tub is large and works well but needs a good scrub. The fire table was a nice touch but there were no instructions for it or the grill so you’re on your own. Definitely bring in your toiletries for the bathrooms. You receive small hotel toiletries but no bath sized soap for the shower. Good WiFi and tv. Comfy couches. Lots of blankets. Very remote. A long drive into the forest on very narrow roads and you must be eagle eyed to find the property gate. I wouldn’t try it at night. The road is gravel and there is a very sharp turn to get to the cabin. The setting is lovely. You can see the river from the cabin"

Rivers Bend - RRG - Hot Tub - Private

10/10 Excellent

"Love this cabin!! Perfect amount of room, super clean, great kitchen! The tire swing and hot tub are amazing! The view is spectacular. 10/10 would recommend!!"

Hikers Retreat• Handcrafted Cabin in RRG • PET FRIENDLY• Location is Key

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to Sky Bridge. Cabin had everything that was needed. Clean and cozy. Other guests were respectful (there are multiple units and not very sound proof and limited parking, so this could be an issue; would be great for family & friends to rent all units together). Apple Maps had location wrong (use Google Maps)"

Red River Gorge Raven’s Summit Luxury HotTub WiFi

10/10 Excellent

"Property was very remote and secluded. Exactly as described in the listing. My family enjoyed the stay. Thank you for a great home away from home!"
