Becky’s place was a hidden gem! We made friends with the other guests. We had everything we needed. The place was clean and comfortable! Will come back!
Cabin is well cared for and clean. It's small but designed efficiently and fine for the 2 of us for 2 nights. Location is good for taking advantage of the Red River Gorge attractions with close proximity to the Mountain Parkway.
I enjoyed my second stay here! The host has excellent communication and the place was very cozy and clean! I will definitely be back again when I’m in the area.
Our stay was wonderful. The place was clean and comfortable. Becky was awesome and provided great ideas on things to do. I will stay here again when I visit the Red River Gorge area again.

Our cabin was everything we needed - very clean, comfortable and stocked with all of the essentials. Our host was very professional and easy to communicate with. She was very welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend staying here - it was a home away from home!
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!
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 :)
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!
Very clean and perfect for a couple nights in the Gorge. Definitely hope to visit again!

This place really is a Hiker's Gem! My dog Sirius and I stayed at this property and had a wonderful time enjoying the nearby Red River Gorge and all the amenities on this property.
This place was wonderful for our weekend getaway. Very clean and cozy. The owner was friendly and great with communication. Definitely would stay there again.
This spot might be small but has everything you need. Just minutes from several trailheads, a great coffee and ice cream shop just a mile away, and some great restaurants within 15 minutes.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
very clean and nice, however, the listing was not accurate. We were looking for something private and somewhat secluded; what we got was basically a room the size of a motel room with four other rooms in the same building right next to each other. Maybe we didn't see that it was described that way, but in my opinion it should be very clear that you will be right next to other people. That wouldn't have been bad, but the walls are so thin, we could hear what was being said and the TV playing in the next room. It got so bad, I had to bang on the wall at 2:30 am to let them know to shut up because we couldn't sleep. We went for relaxation and went home more tired than when we arrived. This is great if you are going to be there just to shower and sleep, otherwise, I would not come here again.
Stayed for work great centralized location. Very new clean property. Pet friendly which was so helpful and owners are very proactive in regards to answering your questions you may have.
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!!
