The cabin was perfect! I agree with many reviews that you do need a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to get there in the winter. Great location and close to all the great activities the Gorge has to offer!

The cabin was very nice and clean. It was an adventure to get to, but the cabin was perfect for the 4 of us.

It was really nice to just be able to walk up to the door put a personalized code in and walk in and really just not have to do anything else, but check out the place and rest. Great space for sharing time with family and also finding moments to be by yourself. This was my very first time in a log cabin, and I don't think it'll be my last.
We loved the location of this cabin. We enjoy all this area has to offer. We spent time in both Franklin and Highlands, and the drive to Highlands has to be one of the most beautiful in the United States. The cabin was comfortable and we had everything we needed. We came for fall color, and the view out the front window did not disappoint. We wanted to use the king bed and weren't particularly fond of the spiral staircase, but that was a minor inconvenience. We hope to stay here again!

Hey Gayle, Thanks for the honest review! Welcome back to any of our RRG Getaway cabins anytime!
Two friends and I came to hike and kayak for a weekend. The turn off for the cabin was tricky to find and luckily we were in a 4 wheel drive truck because the road up to the property was steep and full of potholes. The cabin was very nice, clean and met our needs. The showers could use updating but were adequate. There is no wifi but the cellular connection was pretty good. Overall we enjoyed our stay but next time I will look for something easier to get to with WiFi.

Thank you for the honest review! We are working to fix our main road going to the cabin.
Check in was very easy! Wifi would be nice so that you can stream movies and shows on the TV. There is an issues with ants in the kitchen, which is understandable due to the location of the cabin. The sheets could be upgraded, they are kind of rough feeling from being washed so much.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear check-in was easy and that you enjoyed your stay. This cabin does not have Wi-Fi, but guests can use a personal hotspot to stream from any of the smart TV apps. We also appreciate your note about the ants and bedding — we have regular pest control and preventative maintenance in place, though the wooded setting can occasionally bring a few inside. We’ll look into updating the sheets for added comfort. Thanks again, and we hope to host you again soon!
The cabin was perfect. It was super clean and adorable inside. It had everything you needed to enjoy your stay and was in such a convenient location. We had an SUV and the road still was a little tricky in places with giant holes but we managed. We will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed 5 days at this cabin which was spacious for the three of us. Hot tub was relaxing. Would’ve loved to have a fire, but the weather did not cooperate. Three short but adventurous hikes right out the back door!

Perfect cabin for our trip to Red River Gorge. We were so happy and comfortable with our 8 yr old twins and two dogs. Very peaceful. The location was a short distance to adventurous activities Red River Gorge has to offer. We will be back!
The property was great and we had a great stay. The location is nice, but the drive up to the property is challenging. Luckily we were in a vehicle that could manage it, but a lot of cars would likely struggle getting up the hill and bottom out with all the dips and uneven pavement. I would still recommend, but warn occupants to prepare accordingly.

Hey Jon, thank you so much for your honest review! Yes, there is a steep hill in the development when you get in, the steepest part is all paved. We try to maintain the gravel sections and keep them smooth. We provide gps coordinates and written directions with the address to make it as easy as possible to find! Welcome back to any of our RRG Getaways cabins anytime!

Not as nice as it looks
The outside looks inviting but inside the light in the kitchen would not work-only flickered, the shower leaked and was not caulked properly, and the sheets were so scratchy that we had to go purchase sheets just to sleep one night.

Cute cabin. Quiet area. My only complaint are the beds - both were extremely wore out and uncomfortable. My husband was ready to go home after the first night because it hurt his back so bad.
Great location, hot tub amazing, cabin was just what we expected through pics provided. Super easy check in process and great direction from host.
Might need to pay a little more attention to cleaning under couch, tables, bathroom (especially toilet seat)etc. Please provide cleaning supplies and dust pan.
This being said, my wife and I would have no trouble rebooking!
