Located along the outskirts of the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway, this cabin is perfectly situated to host travelers who are seeking both privacy and convenience. Spend a leisurely afternoon at the cabin surrounded by nature or take a short drive to explore the area and all the beauty that it has to offer.
The Briar Patch was thoughtfully designed to host anywhere from 1 to 6 people without making guests feel too cramped or in a space that’s too large to feel comfortable. Its rustic interior creates the perfect mood for this dreamy mountaintop vacation home.
This cabin features a king bedroom on the main floor. You can binge watch episodes of your favorite tv series on the 50” smart tv, or if you prefer a more quiet bedtime routine, enjoy the peacefulness of near zero outside noise infiltration. Wake up and pull back the curtains on the windows that look out to the gorgeous wooded surroundings. Upstairs in the spacious loft area, other guests will experience a comfortable night’s sleep as well. This is a great space for adults and children alike, with a queen bed and two twin beds. It allows for a semi-private escape for couples or an ideal setup for kids to have their own vacation space. Easy access to the loft with a custom built stow-away ladder makes having access to this extra space even better.
The living room is spacious enough to accommodate everyone for family game night around the warm glow of the electric fireplace. The attached kitchen area makes cooking up a meal for friends simple and easy. Everything is within an arm’s reach and with a blend of both vintage and modern amenities, guests are sure to love putting this space to use.
A full bathroom on the main level makes for easy access for all guests with “Jack & Jill” doors opening from both the living room and the king bedroom. A washer and dryer is great to have for rinsing all of the dirt away from the exciting adventures you’re sure to have!
Through the atrium-style full glass doors in the living room, step out onto the spacious back deck where all of your stresses are sure to melt away. An outdoor dining table, bed swing and rocking chairs are all inviting seating options to relax and bask in the sunsets each evening. Mornings can be spent with a hot cup of coffee or a chapter or two with your favorite book, surrounded by tranquil sounds of nature.
At the front of the cabin, a sizable deck area provides an easy entryway from the gravel walkway and parking area. The fire pit awaits S’mores and campfire stories while under the night sky. There’s very little light pollution here, making this side of the property top notch for stargazing!
Either way you choose to spend your time here, will be time well spent! Even the drive out to the property is pleasant and full of idyllic scenery.

This was a lovely little cabin and perfect for me and my three dogs. It was in a very quiet and remote area. The host was very welcoming and was quick to respond, if needed. The host even checked on us when there was a tornado warning in the area. I really appreciated that. It was a great place to stay for my first visit to Kentucky.

Thank you for your kind review. We hope to host you again in the future!
Our stay was perfect except for the weather! The cabin is gorgeous, exactly as described. Host is easy to work with, check in/out was a breeze, etc. Great spot to hang out in good weather, bad weather and everything in-between. Hope to return again for a longer stay someday :)

Glad to hear that you made the best of your stay despite the weather. Come back soon!
This was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had in a while. The cabin was secluded and quiet. It was very clean, and had everything we needed to prepare meals. I would highly recommend these accommodations for other travelers.

So happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay! Come back soon.
We enjoyed our stay at the Briar Patch! The cabin is clean, nice, and well cared for. The host's service is excellent! We always got responses within a few minutes and were even able to reschedule last minute when weather made our initial reservation impossible for us to keep. The cabin was comfortable for 5 adults and a baby. It had everything we needed. The deck is amazing! Great place to stay for a quiet getaway.
