About this property

Rise and Shine

Peaceful, pastoral setting. Beautiful cabin nestled in peaceful, rolling hills under brilliant starry night skies. Walk the property and nearby to experience the cliff sides, forest, grazing yaks, and fresh breezes of this scenic setting. Wake to a spectacular sunrise and the sound of songbirds. Enjoy evenings of porch time, cooking out, and snuggling by the firepit after a day of exploring. Close to Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, Cave Run Lake, and Daniel Boone National Forest. "Gorge"ous cabin!

Nice little cabin

Getting there was a little confusing, however it is a very nice rental. Plenty of space to move around and a quiet area.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2023
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 8, 2023
So glad you enjoyed the cabin! GPS isn't always so accurate in the country, so I have included directions in the rental confirmation and on the listing site. I have now measured the distance to go down the road to the cabin and placed that in my directions. I now have 2 sets of directions as well. Your big landmark is the Korea Church of God, which causes the other sites to block my directions and tell me to "watch my language" and cursing is not acceptable because the word God is in the directions. This site allows me to identify that landmark in writing. Also remember, if I get the privilege of hosting you again, we carry and answer our phones 24/7 every day of the year to help with any questions! Thank you for being a fabulous guest!

Anniversary Trip

This cabin was great! Very clean and cozy with a homie feel. We stayed here for our anniversary weekend and went to Red River Gorge and did the underground kayak tour which was awesome as well. It is a bit of a drive to the attractions in the area only because it is all the scenic route. Great experience and would recommend to everyone.

So glad you enjoyed your stay!!! Thank you for being lovely guests and lovely people! I believe your issue with directions was in missing the rental confirmation with crucial directions for travel and for entry into the cabin, as well as tips for a great stay. GPS directions anywhere near the Gorge are not consistent on different map/GPS sites and some common ones are not always accurate. I give directions that keep you. on good roads, and to take you right past the resources you will want and need. I tried to accommodate by resending per personal email, texted pics of directions, but you were already well on your way from another direction. My directions are also on the VRBO site when you book. Online booking is unfortunately email and inbox of the site dependent. But we found a way around it! I know a stay is successful when guests add days! Hope.you had some good time to relax and experience the land and views of Eastern Kentucky!!
