He is very personable. We had only stopped in for an after dinner drink, and ended up closing tge place. 😆 He told us about a delicious sounding drink recipe that contained root beer. We happened to have some bottles of root beer with us that we had purchased at one of of the bourbon tours - we got them and brought them to the bar and he made the drinks which we then shared with other guests. In return, we shared with him a new drink we had created elsewhere that we named the Happy Traveler. I look forward to going back one day and hopefully seeing our drink on his menu. We would legit stay here again just to hang out at the bar. Otherwise, I would have given three stars because of the dinner experience. The staff there were very nice, but I ordered chicken and it came out raw. Had to send it back, they made it again, and it came out raw a second time. That’s actually why we went to the bar, to grab a drink and some bar snacks cuz I was hangry! lol " [](https://expedia.com/Slade-Hotels-Natural-Bridge-State-Resort-Park.h15437778.Hotel-Information) ![The Stillhouse Cabin, mins from Red River Gorge](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89870000/89869800/89869766/8914eaf1_y.jpg) ### The Stillhouse Cabin, mins from Red River Gorge 10/10 Excellent "Host was super responsive.
