About this property

Ursa Major Cabin

Ursa Major Cabin is named for the constellation "Big Bear", which is also the Big Dipper. This is our newest cabin on Star Gap Road, set on a private 5-acre lot in the heart of the Red River Gorge. It is about 1/2 mile from the Red River and 10 minutes from Natural Bridge State Park, Red River Gorge Geological Area, and the Daniel Boone National Forest hiking trails. Explore trails by day and sit back and relax around the fire circle and view stars at night. Or sit and view stars from the hot tub out back. This modern cabin has concrete counters, big windows with views, a large kitchen, two bedrooms with queen-size beds, and a large bathroom with a full bathtub. In the winter, enjoy the wood-burning fireplace for a cozy environment. There is a grill, patio, fire pit, and plenty of outdoor space to hang out in the warmer weather. We regularly see deer crossing the yard or standing to graze on the spacious grassy area out front. Be aware of chiggers in the yard if you sit and have a picnic on the grass!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was clean and had well-furnished kitchen. The hot tub is a nice addition to soothe sore muscles after hiking. We saw an indigo bunting, deer and fawn, and group of turkeys with young.

In an area of country-themed, wood-walled cabins, finding an updated, pet-friendly home with nice views plus privacy is a find. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.

Disliked: Location
Overall the accommodation did what we needed. We did not like the location as far as the road was basically one car width and an Amazon truck actually went off the road. Being secluded was good, but I was uncertain still with the accommodation having 3 sliding glass doors, but the natural light was nice. We did not use the hot tub.
