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.

Mini Spring Break Get-a-way

Wonderful 2 night stay in this very clean and comfortable cabin. We had our 2 children with us also and they loved the cabin. The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed evenings in the hot tub and then sitting around the campfire. Close to trails. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. Will definitely be coming back.

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.

Just had a great weekend here at this container cabin that had everything you needed. Great hot tub and grill, plenty of games and lots of cookware/spices if you are eating in. Wish I'd had booked one more night. Definitely will be back in the future!!! Beautiful place!

We loved this cabin. The location felt isolated but was 5 minutes from everything. Cabin felt new and very clean. You can stargaze and even see the Milky Way. Host was responsive and accommodating. Be sure to check out Toad's Bar and Grill just a couple of minutes away.
