Mountain Laurel Cabin. Sitting on private land off of 715 in the heart of the Red River Gorge.  As close as it gets to the best hiking spots the Gorge has to offer.

About this property

Mountain Laurel-RRG | Hot Tub | Discounted Rates! | Private 12 Acres Next to the Gladie Visitor center off 715 surrounded by National Forest Land and The Best RRG Hiking Trails!

Summary:

Welcome to Mountain Laurel, a rare Red River Gorge escape set on 12 privately owned acres along the banks of the Red River. Located just off KY-715 near the Gladie Visitor Center and surrounded by National Forest land, this cabin offers unmatched privacy in a prime Gorge location. Walk to trails, climbing, fishing, and kayaking, then relax in the hot tub or by the fire pit. Rustic luxury, nature, and adventure come together here.



The Space:

Mountain Laurel comfortably accommodates groups and families with four queen beds spread across multiple sleeping areas:

• Main level: 2 bedrooms with queen beds

• Upper level: 1 private bedroom with a queen bed

• Loft: 1 lofted sleeping area with a queen bed



The cabin features rustic-luxury finishes throughout, including designer fixtures, custom furniture, a spacious walk-in shower, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces indoors and out.



Guest Access:

Guests will have full access to the cabin and surrounding private acreage.

📱 Important: Please ensure your reservation includes a valid, working phone number, as all check-in details and stay information are sent via text.



The Neighborhood:

Located in the heart of the Red River Gorge, just minutes from the Gladie Visitor Center, this cabin sits behind a private, key-code-protected electric gate for added seclusion and peace of mind. Few properties offer this level of privacy in such a central Gorge location



Getting Around:

A personal vehicle is required. The cabin is easily accessible from KY-715 and close to major trailheads and climbing areas.



Other Things to Note:

• Supplies: We provide a complimentary starter amount of hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, dish soap, dish pods, laundry pods, and basic cleaning supplies.

➤ Guests are responsible for any additional supplies needed during their stay.

➤ We do not supply perishable or consumable items such as coffee, filters, salt, pepper, oil, etc.

• Cell Service: Cell signal is limited and unreliable in this area—perfect for unplugging.

• Water: This cabin uses filtered well water that is safe for bathing, cooking, and drinking. The water may retain a natural sulphur smell, which is common in the Gorge. Guests are welcome to bring bottled water if preferred.

• Pets: Pets are welcome!

🐾 A $50 flat pet fee applies for up to two pets. Please be sure pets are added to your reservation.



There is an exterior security camera facing the parking area.

The house was in a great location for enjoying hiking. The back porch offers incredible views and was enjoyable for eating dinner. The house was big enough for our group of four. The biggest downfall was the house was dirty. It really could use a good cleaning. This is why I didn’t give it a five stars rating. I still would recommend it if you want to be close to hiking trails.

We loved our stay here! The location was amazing. It was quiet and secluded, but we were able to walk to several hiking trails. The view from the deck was beautiful and we used the hot tub everyday. There was plenty of room for everyone. We communicated with the host a couple of times and they responded quickly. Would stay again!

Our Stay at Mt Laurel

We had a fantastic stay! The first couple of days we had interesting torrential downpours. At one point we lost power, and we’re thrilled that the property had a built-in generator. We enjoyed using the hot tub after some long hikes. The grill and washing machine/dryer worked well. Loved the floor to ceiling windows!

We wanted to like this place - the house itself was great and in a great location. But it is very poorly maintained. Grill didn't work, dishwasher didn't work. When we arrived at the house at 4:45 the cleaning lady was just leaving and told us there was a problem with the hot tub and they were refilling it. A random woman and her child were hanging out on the back deck while the hot tub filled. This went on for hours. I was texting with the management who told me the hot tub would be fine once it was filled up. It was green. Never got clear. We couldn't use it. And it was one of the main things we were looking forward to.

We’re very sorry for the experience you described and appreciate you sharing this feedback. The cabin does use well water, which can sometimes cause the hot tub to appear slightly green once treated with chemicals — it’s completely safe to use, but we understand how it could be concerning. Unfortunately, we had an issue with the hose that day, which caused an unusual delay in refilling the tub, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We’ll also make sure our maintenance and cleaning teams review the grill and dishwasher to ensure everything is working properly for future guests.

Large, beautiful cabin!

We had a great time at this cabin! It’s one of the largest we’ve stayed at in the area. We were able to sit on a large covered deck that had a nice gas fire pit that you can actually enjoy the rain. We also enjoyed the fire pit in the morning with our coffee when it was cooler . The views were wonderful. We looked onto the river and watched the ducks land on it on two different days, and saw birds using the river as their flight path. The kitchen table was huge. The beds and couches were very comfortable. The automatic entry gate was terrific. The huge gated deck was perfect for our dogs. This is a place we’d love to come back to!

Wonderful get away

We came to Kentucky for the glass bottom kayaking, which was so much fun. We had 4 adults and 4 children and this house was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone. The living room and kitchen were open to each other so we could sit and socialize without trying to cram into a tiny room. The kitchen table fit all of us. The deck was cozy and inviting. We had some people by the fire and some in the hot tub. We also all fit around the fire later for some warming up. The views were gorgeous and peaceful. We loved it so much we did not want to leave.

Amazing Location

This cabin is awesome. It feels like a diamond in the rough. Having all the luxuries you want on vacation but a secluded get away. There are multiple beautiful hikes with cool arches and cliffs within a 10 min drive. Not sure about other reviewer saying they had to drive far to find hikes. Definitely want to stock up on gas and supplies before entering the gorge because it is about 25 mins to closest stores, but that’s what we were looking to experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cabin again. One thing to consider is that if you like to cook you may want to bring a few supplies along like a big stock pot or oven sheet for baking. Before you go you should write down the WiFi and password as well as the door code to login because you will not have any cell service to look something up or be able to call to ask questions if you have trouble getting into the cabin. Apple Maps will tell you the road is closed but that’s incorrect, it’s open. We used google maps for driving and it was much more accurate.

Struggled with property

This place was very cute. The location is how the crow flies. It will take over 30 minutes to get to the most popular hikes and they list it as 6 min drive. All the drives were all 20-40 mins away. It is listed with 2 full bathrooms. The shower upstairs flooded the downstairs bedroom. I called right away and said they would send a maintenance guy over but he didn't come until the next day. This was not going to be an easy fix. The walls and ceiling will have to be dug into. I looked back at the other comments and they KNEW about this issue and still let people rent it. They offered to move us but our vacation was short so we didn't want to take the time to move. They said they would refund us 25% but they only refunded 20%. Not happy! It needs a good spring cleaning. Lots of cobwebs in the lights inside and out. Also, you cannot lower the temperature of the hot tub. We could only put our legs in it because it was too hot to sit down. This property needs to be cleaned, fix the shower upstairs and fix the hot tub.
