Very nice. Much more secluded than I thought it would be and a little further from civilization, but if that is what you're looking for it's perfect. Be aware that there is a cliff close by so if you have kids, let them know not to go near it! Great communication with the owners. Hot tub was amazing.
Kims retreat is a place we would love to return. For families, please know though that the house’s property is on a cliff. So watch the kiddos closely. We can’t wait to return !
We had a great stay at Kim's retreat! Nice and clean secluded cabin to getaway for the weekend. Nothing fancy, but has all the necessities. Of note, there is a fire-pit but you must provide your own firewood (which there are plenty of places selling it for $5 a stack).

Thank you so much for staying with us at Kim's Retreat. We are so glad you enjoyed your cabin getaway. Please come back and stay with us anytime!
This is a nice, cozy cabin. It's private even though there are other nearby cabins. It was well-appointed for a weekend trip. It's a drive to get to it, but they provide detailed directions that are accurate. I would definitely rebook!

The cabin was cute. One of the knobs on the stove won’t work or turn . Not a big deal. Only used one burner and the remote for the fan/ac was missing in the one upstairs bedroom which was fine since the remote in the other room worked for it. The view was beautiful. The road and gravel to travel to the cabin was a little rough. But overall it was a nice stay for the weekend! The property manager was great communication and checking in. Would stay again!

Our Chop Chestnut cabins are secluded and offer much privacy. Being in a rural area means cell service and WiFi are not always as reliable as in the city. We are clear about this in our listings as well as in our communications before arrival. We are sorry to hear that the cell service/WiFi did not meet your expectations during your stay. We are sorry you were dissatisfied with the hot tub. While it is fully operational, we have been and continue to await the delivery of a new cover for it.
Lovely place for my husband and I for a getaway. The place was clean and well organized, they had everything we needed. They asked that you bring your own shampoo and toothpaste, I would recommend also bringing some cooking oil or butter and your own coffee. We got to watch the lunar eclipse, it was beautiful! My highlander had no problem getting around the terrain even after the rain. The hottub was amazing after a long hike! I would definitively visit again, highly recommend.
The cabin and property were great. The listing however was not accurate. It is a 20 minute drive to the natural bridge, not 12 minutes as stated. Also, there was no wifi in the cabin as stated.

Thank you so much for staying with us at Kim's Retreat Cabin. We are so glad you enjoyed your time in our cabin! We will update the listing with the correct drive time and make it more clear there is Wifi at the laundry room and NOT in the cabin itself. Please come back and stay with us anytime!
Overall the stay was nice but compare to other rental, I did not rate as high. Travel on one lane road to get to cabin which was not mentioned. Lots of blind spots and dangerous with oncoming vehicles

I am glad you thought the stay was nice! Sorry about the roads. We encourage guests to drive slow and enjoy the scenery.
The stay was nice. Managers were top notch. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Living room wasn’t as comfortable, tv too small- sofa was simply a place to sit. Would have preferred to know about the drop off edge - what; about 200 plus feet down Rock.. if child or animals were to fall .. I’m not sure they would survive or if we could have helped at all. That in itself; was the most concern for me.! Otherwise clean, safe, place

I am sorry the living room wasn’t as comfortable as expected. We will post a sign about the drop off. I am glad you found it clean and safe otherwise. Come back and stay with us again!
Beautiful location. A bit remote though and some rough roads, but doable. Pros: Again beautiful location, nice little kitchen, well appointed. Bathroom was nice and a nice size and had plenty of towels. Had satellite tv which was a nice in such a remote location. Beds firm, but comfortable. Cons: The lack of a handrail that goes all the way up the stairs was very concerning for me. There is a partial one near the bottom, but at the top, and there is an awkward turn in stairs, there is none making it hard for me to feel safe descending. The individual heating/ac unit in the right side bedroom didn't seem to be working properly. Also the living room, dining room have large windows but with no curtains. Being remote there isn't anyone who can see in, but everyone in our party felt it strange to have large windows with no curtains to close at night. Just a little creepy. But then again this was Halloween weekend LOL . Overall, nice little place, just a little remote, beautiful. Needs better hand rail for stairs.
Beautiful view! Very cute inside. Clean. Enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit. For people coming from london. Once you GPS slade, ky and get there, the directions were a little confusing. Once you go under the parkway bridge, the campton road part got us confused because a few of us went right at the dead-end instead of left because there is a sign with a arrow pointing to the right that says Campton but we need to go left. Also, the “green hinkle sign” says its on the left and right both in same sentence. Other than that, the directions were spot on! Overall wonderful stay. Easy check in and communication!

We will be sure to make sure the directions get updated, thank you for bringing that to our attention!
The two of us and our dog stayed for a 4 day 3 night getaway. The cabin was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay in the woods. Hottub was incredible and even though it rained a bunch while we were there, we still had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay. Far enough out for quiet and seclusion but close enough to town and everything fun to be had at the Gorge. We will be going back to stay again shortly.
