This property looks nothing like the photos, also to note it is pretty much right on top of the road. Upon arrival, beds were slept in and not changed, towels all over both bathroom floors, dirty toilets, cobwebs and spiders throughout the house, floors dusty, sawdust on both couches, and the fridge was full of food and fruit flies. We stayed only long enough to see everything and take photos as evidence for a full refund. The host has not yet responded to me, our case for a full refund is pending.

Wonderful getaway!

We loved our stay at Peddler’s Fork Inn. Mary is the most accommodating host, who goes above and beyond to make sure all guests (including pets and kids) have the best stay. The Inn itself is wonderfully appointed with anything you might need. We especially enjoyed cooking in the chef’s kitchen and found everything we might need to prepare food and host dinner. The beds/linens were comfortable and bathrooms spacious and beautiful. Peddlers Fork Inn felt so much like home during our stay that we didn’t want to leave and are already planning our next stay.

Wooded Retreat

Spacious cabin located in a remote wooded location providing the perfect retreat from life's busy demands. The screened in porch was the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon read, or to have late night conversations. The property came stocked with all the staples and then some. We enjoyed reading books and playing games that were plentiful around the house.

Prefect retreat for our Thanksgiving holiday with friends and family!

This cabin is about a 30 minute drive from Natural Bridge/Gorge/and Miguel’s Pizza. It is very secluded with a short hiking trail at the rear of the property. The cabin is cozy and rustic. The decor is very eclectic and really cool! The cabin was stocked with most everything you would need (shampoo, first aid, breakfast, etc etc). Which is a good thing because once you get to the cabin, you don’t want to leave. The cabin is very spacious and comfortably can accommodate 6 people! The host was extremely helpful and we appreciate that they allow pets! We would definitely stay again!

Something out of a storybook

This cabin was just the retreat my family needed. What a beautiful weekend. The level of detail and care put into this place is amazing. I highly recommend coming here! Dinner was provided the first night, breakfast every morning, plentiful firewood, artwork EVERYWHERE. The vintage dog photographs in the hallway were especially charming, the taxidermied friends were fun (we named them all), and exploring the woods was the best medicine. My husband and I loved having the upstairs suite to ourselves and our teenagers had plenty of space, wifi, and satellite tv to keep them happy when we weren’t playing games or out hiking.

A mansion among cabins

This cabin is huge. It’s full of antiques and eclectic decor. We loved it. It’s closed to red river gorge and natural bridge so perfect for day hikes. It is dusty. Remember it is a cabin. Don’t expect Marriott or Hilton. There were some issues I addressed with the owner, who seems attentive to taking care of them. There is no pool table. The game room is now an extra bedroom but there are plenty of board games, a chess/checkers table and ample room to spread out, read, play games, whatever. The hot tub is a jacuzzi bath. Overall, a nice place to stay with plenty of room and I was so appreciative that our dogs were welcome too.

Peaceful weekend getaway

Wow! The cabin is amazing!! We couldn’t believe the size of the cabin when we walked in! We loved using the fireplace (Mary had it ready to go the first night). Impressed with all the amenities. The kitchen…ahh the kitchen, if it wasn’t there then you didn’t need it, it was stocked with all things you need to cook with. We did stay upstairs in the king size bed that was very comfy! Bathroom adjoined to master bedroom is awesome-loved the tub!! All in all, we had a great weekend getaway that was super cozy and will be returning in the future! Thank you Mary!!

Ticket to Paradise

We visit the Gorge every year and this has by far been my favorite cabin! While it’s situated a little further out from the State park, it is truly worth the extra travel time. The owner (and/or staff) go above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. The cabin itself is adorable but the service provided takes the cake! The fireplace was ready to light, the fridge was stocked with pre-made meals, items for breakfast, and bottled water. The owner, Mary, was pleasant and easy to communicate with. Not to mention there was NOT a long list of chores for us to do upon check out like at other rentals. It truly was relaxing in every way. We will be back again…this time for a longer stay!

Bring your spider spray and beware of Rabid dog…

The overall impression of the property was horrible, burnt out lightbulbs I had to change, many many many spiderwebs in all corners on the walls, window, shades lamps, etc., including spiders. A wild dog that kept running around the cabin and barking wildly, which meant any outdoor. and marshmallow roasting was completely out of the question. We were only at the property from our check-in time about 48 4 PM for about an hour assessing the cobwebs spiderwebs wasps inside and the wild dog running outside. At that time we decided we can’t stay at that cabin so we left we never spent any time in the cabin that we paid for and we’re not we’re working to try to recuperate our money not to mention it was impossible to make any contact with the host via text or phone call so please beware of this property.

Peaceful getaway

Property was as described. Lovely old cabin with lots of character. We only used the 2 bedrooms downstairs and the beds were very comfortable, plenty of covers and pillows, comfy and soft sheets. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was that the trail leading into the woods to the left when leaving the cabin was very short. After less than a quarter mile there was a sign posted that the property was private and was under another name so we turned around and went back. I had thought from the description that we would have 50+ acres to roam. Perhaps I was mistaken. It's still a lovely property and Mary has provided almost anything a person could need. We enjoyed the stay!

Beautiful cabin with rich history

This place is truly lovely - be sure to read it's history on the newspaper story on the kitchen wall. There is a huge dining room with attached great room and a massive stone fireplace. Tons of windows. Large kitchen with big center island. Lots of property and loads of amenities. One of our favorite places was the screened in porch with the great views of the outdoors. Very spacious and comfortable. Communicating with host was easy as Mary is very accomodating. Having dinner prepared for us for a night and breakfast foods in the fridge was really a nice bonus. We didn't use the trails as we had a puppy with us, but the front yard is very large and they loved exploring just that area. We also had beautiful weather. Also loved the outdoor deck. Had a few hiccups with some appliances, but minor in relation to an overall lovely experience.

his retirement.
