Exploring Red River Gorge

On our way back from Ohio, we thought it would be fun to explore this area and go hiking. The cabin was a perfect location, and we loved the cabin. It was clean and comfortable with wonderful views. The hot tub was perfect in the evening after a long day of hiking.

Great Getaway!!

This place is awesome. Super quiet and peaceful. They have a ton of DVDs and board games to play, which helps with the WiFi not being the best for watching things like Netflix. Pretty decent phone signal though, so I just used my hotspot. Overall awesome, and Amanda was an amazing host with great communication. Will be back!!

Perfect Hideaway

Short trip for a relaxing weekend before the Holiday Craziness happens this week. It was exactly what the Dr. ordered. Unplug purposely from most of the world, hiked a little, watched football all weekend and hung out in the hot tub. We loved this location and will be staying again.
