Hidden and quiet. Screened porch was nice for the evenings. Unique history. Really neat place to stay for a quiet getaway
This is going to be our new place to stay every time we come to the gorge. It was a beautiful home with lots of room and places to hang out. Great screened room on the back and super quiet location. Owner was super helpful and easy to communicate with!

I can’t thank you enough for leaving the
cabin in such beautiful condition.
We had lovely a girls weekend at Peddlers Inn. We were greeted by fresh Mums, a casserole, lots of breakfast goods, and even s’mores. The cabin is beautiful, cozy, and very rustic. The beds were very comfortable. Only 30 minute drive to Red River Gorge.
The place is gorgeous! The kitchen is amazing! Very chic/modern decore w/ of antiques holding to the places more rustic roots. Mary was lovely to work w/. A good time was had by all!
Our stay worked out very well. There was plenty of room to have a family reunion, with lots of yard space for the kids to play outside. The owner was very thoughtful with the items she made available, from breakfast food in the kitchen to new toothbrushes in the bathrooms. We are definitely interested in booking again.

Great kitchen and fire pit. The hostess provided breakfast and one meal along with toiletries (toothbrushes,etc). You typically don’t see that type of attention to detail with other VRBO properties.
Stayed Sun- Fri (was supposed to leave Sat, but the litany of issues had taken their toll)Paying 300 total per night should give the renter some sense of comfort they chose a suitable place to stay, but the negatives certainly outweighed the positives. Would not rent again.
We loved the cabin, a little sad we didnt get the yummy check in dinner and breakfast goodies everyone was talking about, but of well. The cabin is amazing, had plenty of room for us, very comfy beds and pillows. Coffee maker was broken, but we managed. We loved everything about it. We will for sure be back
This property looks nothing like the photos, also to note it is pretty much right on top of the road. Upon arrival, beds were slept in and not changed, towels all over both bathroom floors, dirty toilets, cobwebs and spiders throughout the house, floors dusty, sawdust on both couches, and the fridge was full of food and fruit flies. We stayed only long enough to see everything and take photos as evidence for a full refund. The host has not yet responded to me, our case for a full refund is pending.
Spacious cabin located in a remote wooded location providing the perfect retreat from life's busy demands. The screened in porch was the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon read, or to have late night conversations. The property came stocked with all the staples and then some. We enjoyed reading books and playing games that were plentiful around the house.
Mary and Jim opened their home and provided all the comforts - just as if they would if they were here with us. From toiletries, to a stocked wood fire and fire ring to a welcome meal and breakfast essentials, we felt like we were visiting friends. Easy parking, interesting decor, things to do that we didn’t need to pack. What a wonderful experience! Thank you!
This cabin was beautiful and the host outdid herself with all of the food that she left. The upstairs is a little dark but we spent most of our time downstairs. There were little hairs all inside the bathtub upstairs that I cleaned out before we used the tub but besides that the cabin was so nice. I loved reading about its history in the article hung on the wall in the kitchen. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a peaceful place to relax away from home.

We allow guest’s to bring pets/. Sometimes they
like the tub.
Thank you for visiting. I love the cabin
myself to get away when I can.
Prefect retreat for our Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family!
This cabin is about a 30 minute drive from Natural Bridge/Gorge/and Miguel’s Pizza. It is very secluded with a short hiking trail at the rear of the property. The cabin is cozy and rustic. The decor is very eclectic and really cool! The cabin was stocked with most everything you would need (shampoo, first aid, breakfast, etc etc). Which is a good thing because once you get to the cabin, you don’t want to leave. The cabin is very spacious and comfortably can accommodate 6 people! The host was extremely helpful and we appreciate that they allow pets! We would definitely stay again!
Convenient place for exploring the Red River Gorge
This cabin is a remarkable piece of history. The kitchen was amazing. Rarely do I stay in a rental with the option of cooking in cast iron like I do at home. It is in a very rural area, and we really enjoyed sitting on the deck before sunset and watching deer and bunnies. We were able to access all of the Rest River Gorge trails that we wanted to traverse. The only reason that the location was not a five is that it is a drive to go anywhere. We hope to be able to visit again one day.
What a gem! a fantastic home being shared with us! How fortunate we were to be able to enjoy a great home, tucked into the woods and close to awesome hiking trails! You can feel the love of the homeowner in this property - this isn’t a business, it’s an act of love! Every detail is thoughtful. We’ve stayed in places all over the world and rate this great place in the top 5. A special and kind nod to the family who makes this possible. What an excellent getaway!
Wow! The cabin is amazing!! We couldn’t believe the size of the cabin when we walked in! We loved using the fireplace (Mary had it ready to go the first night). Impressed with all the amenities. The kitchen…ahh the kitchen, if it wasn’t there then you didn’t need it, it was stocked with all things you need to cook with.
We did stay upstairs in the king size bed that was very comfy! Bathroom adjoined to master bedroom is awesome-loved the tub!!
All in all, we had a great weekend getaway that was super cozy and will be returning in the future! Thank you Mary!!

About the host
Hosted by Mary Kanai
For the past 20 years my husband and I have owned an inflight catering business in Lexington Ky. I inherited the Peddler's Fork Inn several years ago and after a three year renovation I am happy to offer it for rent. I grew up an Air Force Brat and have lived all over the world. My father General James Little grew up not far from here and returned to hand build this cabin upon his retirement.

What makes this property unique
