The only issue was the key pad didn’t work so I had to call the main office number to get a new code. However, I was able to locate the keys before I got the new code. The cabin is on a beautiful property. It was quiet and peaceful and a real adventure off the beaten path.

We’re glad you were able to get inside without too much trouble. After reviewing the access logs, the code was scheduled to activate at 4 PM, and it looks like the first attempt was made shortly before then. That would explain why the keypad wasn’t accepting it yet. We’re happy the rest of the stay was peaceful and that you enjoyed the beautiful, tucked-away setting. Thanks so much for staying with us!

If you are looking for a secluded experience, this cabin is perfect! You can explore the woods around it for hours and not see anyone else. We hiked down to the river every day – it is a lovely walk. The cabin itself is rustic and charming, and it had everything we needed. The kitchen has all the basic necessities. The bathroom seems to be a newer addition, and it is great. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would come back anytime.

The property is cool and private. The house is much more worn and rougher than it looks in the pictures. The porch is sinking through the deck. It’s probably still safe but it is in desperate need of repair. The upstairs gets really hot even in the fall. The AC wasn’t quite enough to keep it cool even on a 40 night. The kitchen is poorly stocked so bring what you need to cook. And worst of all they don’t have a normal coffee pot. It’s a Keurig that had just a few K cups. It’s really frustrating to have a coffee maker listed and to find out the coffee you brought can’t be used because they only have a few K cups and a Keurig that is in need of a clean. Coffee pots are so cheap, it’s unacceptable to not just have one in the cabin. The property is pretty and it’s very private. We did have a good time overall and it’s a cheap stay so I guess you get what you pay for.

We’re glad the privacy and beautiful setting were highlights and that you still had a good trip overall! There are definitely a few things in your review we’ll be looking into, particularly the deck, upstairs comfort, cookware, and the Keurig needing some attention. As for the coffee setup, we do list only the Keurig specifically in the property description, but we’re sorry if that detail got overlooked before the trip. Finding out after you arrive that the coffee you packed won’t work is definitely frustrating. We appreciate you staying with us and taking the time to give such specific feedback!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad the home’s privacy, quiet setting, and on‑site trails made for an enjoyable stay. We appreciate your note about our communication, and we've already mentioned the maintenance items and will be reviewing those to ensure everything is in proper working order. Thanks for bringing those to our attention! Also, for clarity, the rental agreement you received is a standard requirement for cabin rental companies in the area and is fully permitted by Vrbo. It helps outline policies and expectations so guests know exactly what to expect, especially in the event of damages. We’re grateful you chose to stay with us and appreciate the thoughtful review.

The location is great, being pretty close to Red River Gorge, but also remote enough to have our own space to relax. Our kids loved exploring the acreage and playing on the tire swing. Everything was very clean and beds were comfortable. It was well equipped with everything we needed. The view was also beautiful. Thank you for a great stay!

My family and I had a wonderful time relaxing and reconnecting at this cozy cabin in the mountains! It is close enough to all the features at Red River Gorge, yet well off of the beaten path.

The cabin was cozy and comfortable, the perfect place to get away and relax

We loved the little yellow cabin in the woods. We spent most of our time outside, by the fire and the tire swing. All the amenities, like coffee, soaps, lots of clean towels and blankets. I would definitely recommend for a family, lots of places for the kids to sleep and the master bed was very comfortable. Walking around the property was great we hiked several trails.

We decided to get away from it all for Thanksgiving and the cabin was perfect! The 150 acres of seclusion are amazing! The cabin is well stocked with kitchen items. I don’t need to even bring all that I did. The cabin was the perfect place to have our own little thanksgiving and to watch football during this cold weekend! The trails were beautiful, as were the surrounding woods. Great property! We will definitely want to stay here again!

Super cozy and Private Gorge Getaway

My partner and I enjoyed a few nights away in the gorge area here at this lovely cabin! The property had everything we needed to relax with a comfortable bed and a big shower. Grill on site was fantastic and the views off the back deck on a clear night were incredible. Firepit was just a few steps from the front door and fantastic as well. Would recommend any visitors who want to be able to cozy up to any movie to bring a streaming device (Fire stick, roku, etc) as the internet service was very good for being so remote! Only negative was the dry sauna appeared to be going through repair and was not available for us after spending the day hiking.

Hi Scott! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Knotty By Nature! We're thrilled to hear that you and your partner enjoyed a relaxing getaway in the gorge area. It warms our hearts to know that you found the cabin well-equipped for your stay, from the comfortable bed and spacious shower to the fantastic grill and breathtaking views from the back deck. We're glad the firepit added to your experience, providing a cozy spot just steps away. We apologize for any inconvenience regarding the sauna. We want to mention that it is stated in the property description that the sauna is no longer in working order and is no longer listed as an amenity.

Your recommendation regarding bringing a streaming device for cozying up to movies is excellent advice, and we appreciate you sharing that tip with future visitors.
