We came for my birthday weekend this October and stayed at the Sunset Falls Chalet!…read more It was private and on the edge of a cliff, so we booked it immediately after seeing it. They allowed animals too, so we got to bring our dog which made her sooooo happy. The house was stocked with all the kitchen amenities you need to cook, bake, spit-roast (kidding), including a fridge and all dish-ware. There is a small grill outside, but you need to bring your own charcoal. And bring all your own cooking supplies like oil, salt + pepper. I expected the bed to be bleh, but it was genuinely extremely comfy - and I'm high maintenance about mattresses. There's extra bedding in the closets too! The hot tub was also a great add-on since there's really no place for a fire pit being on a cliff. The view was absolutely amazing also. BOOK HERE!!

The decor was as kitschy as you'd expect, but the place was wonderful. We used the hot tub daily after being assured the water was fresh and chlorinated. The electric fireplace made us laugh with all the color combos and it kept us warm. The kitchen has a great cookware selection and reliable appliances. We used both outdoor seating areas: a cantilevered open balcony and a padded one under a tin roof. There was a mouse and maintenance was very responsive. We stayed 4 nights and brought our own food. We saw people from a distance. It felt safe and...beary cozy.

But, we're beyond impressed. this is a cozy little cottage with a rustic vibe, which is what we wanted. we wanted the "secluded cabin" feel rather than a modern house vibe. This was more than we could have imagined! the manager @ the rental place gave us wood to light the fire and even gave us some tips for exploring the gorge! hot tub & all rooms were clean and very comfortable! we will definitely be back!

I stayed in the Black Bear Lodge…read more.. First, I want to say that I was laying here in bed so freaking relaxed and comfortable that I couldn't bring myself to roll over and get my phone but I wanted to write this review while I am in the moment. This hotel is amazing! It is so freaking cute. I am in love with it. Everything is extremely clean. The bed is so comfortable. The pillows are perfect. It has the cutest little mountainside lodge feel! The air conditioner works perfect. There's a ceiling fan and a fridge. It is perfect! And the price is killer and there is the most adorable little coffee shop bakery/store just down the street and there's a barbecue place right across the street. Tonight I sat out on my balcony and listened to the rain and the frogs and a creature was making funny sounds by the river, and a bat flew by chirping!!! It was perfect! I don't understand how anybody could rate this please anything other than five stars. The only weird little thing was that the light above my bed had to be unplugged from the wall to turn it off. Who the heck cares! That literally does not make this place anything less than still five stars! Get a room here, you will not regret it!!!! Update I slept like a baby! It was raining last night and you could hear the rain on the roof and it was so relaxing. The shower was nice and hot and great water pressure all around an absolutely excellent stay.

We stayed in the Woodpointe Cabin with my cousin and her husband and daughter. The photos on the…read morewebsite painted a much better picture of the cabin. The overall condition of the cabin was poor. There were cosmetic issues with the interior and exterior. The interior work was not done well, the floor is unlevel, the cabinets are not installed correctly and the countertop isn't level and doesn't match up in the seams. The stairs to the lower level are narrow and the first landing area is soft. The bottom floor stays extremely cold and they have space heaters in the rooms to help with the temp. The downstairs bathroom was not constructed well, the light and fan switches are outside the room and the inside, where the switches use to be, behind the door, is covered with a scrap piece of wood. The showers are extremely small and not well lite. All the walls are covered with what looks like wood panels but they don't match up well and the wood trim around the ceiling were not installed correctly. The deck outside was not like the pictures and there are a lot of decking boards that need to be replaced. The cover over the deck wasn't there as in the picture. Also, the septic tank is under the deck and every time someone flushed the toilet it smelled outside. I had an issue with the grill while we were there and called the office with no response.

I was pretty impressed with this place! It was spacious, quiet,had a wonderful view and the hot tub…read morehad some powerful jets!! We had three families staying at the same time and there at least two beds to spare in every room. Not to mention the three couches down stairs. The place had some of its own board games so the kids got to learn a few new games like pool, mancula, and apples to apples. There was a fire pit,hot tub, and a pretty nice grill out side. The whole place was built on a ledge that overlooked the tree filled hills of the red river gorge region . There was also a huge wrap around porch. It was cool but be careful leaning on the edge there might be a few places it's weak. Draw backs... there really weren't many. The first draw back was the place is set up a long steep stairway. It looks small until you are trying to bring your groceries and suit cases up it. Still it's not a big deal if you aren't elderly. The other draw back was the shower, it had a little mold in the corners but over all it was a spacious bathroom with towels and working facilities. We have decided we will be returning to this place and we hope it will be as great as this weekend!

While staying at Quiet Waters for an interview with Jonathan Hicks. I was asked to assist with…read morelaundry. I ended up picking up BED BUGS from either the laundry rooms or the cabin. I noticed they use a tennis ball with Lavender Oil for fabric softener. Lavender Oil is used to keep bed bugs away! I also noticed mattress covers wrapped in plastic. This was a red flag and unfortunately I ignored being so excited to have this opportunity. I still accepted the position not knowing how bad the bed bugs were! I moved there in August 2020 where I AGAIN picked up bed bugs. They were even in my car and the rental trailer I leased. I purchased pesticide and worked very hard to get rid of the bed bugs. I am highly sensitive and allergic to bed bugs. I was bitten inside the cabins when cleaning. I tried to come to some kind of agreement for preventative measures with Johnathon Hicks. He had my internet connection turned off then pretended he didn't. Even telling me to unplug and reboot KNOWING it was disconnected. I was 16 miles off the grind all alone with no connection. I had to drive in town to make a call to him. He told me to call their advocate Sharon Keefe to talk the issue over regarding the bed bugs. He told me to call her that day bc she was leaving for vacation the next day. He told me to go back home and unplug to see if I would have a connection. Again, while he ALREADY knew he had it turned off. So I went back to town to call Sharon when he sent a text saying he knew Sharon already left for vacation and they hired someone else! I have NEVER known any employer who would be this cunning and DECEITFUL. Why not just tell me instead of lying and having me run around. He did it on purpose! What immaturity! I was devastated! I had to move again after uprooting my life for this job! I moved back and ever since been fighting bed bugs since August 2020! I have now lost 3 beds and couches and so much more. Jonathon Hicks has denied any issues with bed bugs and completely ignores me. I now have a visible manifestation of the bed bugs. They have spread from the basement (where my br is) to the upstairs. BEWARE of bed bugs and take preventative measures. They do not effect everyone the same. But with people like me who are very allergic are tormented by bites.

This was a last minute trip so I didn't have the opportunity to take advantage of the yoga classes or the firepit, but there is always next time. Highly recommend this place to stay while in the area!

The cabin was clean and had lots of things we didn't expect (plenty of cooking utensils, dinnerware, dehumidifier, A/C, etc). The water pressure and hot water were excellent. There's a firepit close to the cabins. Unfortunately, we're city folk and weren't able to get the fire going. Maybe we should have YouTubed it! But it was nice that they had a storage tub full of chairs and a picnic bench. The entrance to the property can be easy to miss because it is at a steep grade, but Wendy and Craig emailed us very specific directions that we printed out and had no problems. Everything was great about our stay. Except for that wasp that wouldn't leave. We also booked a climbing tour through RRO. Dan was our guide and did an awesome job. Highly recommended if you are into climbing but don't have all the gear and/or experience to lead and set.

Stepping onto the property of The General's Cabin, I immediately felt a sense of relief and…read morerelaxation. One would never think that such a unique and beautiful cabin could be found in the middle of the thickest woods and hollers of eastern Kentucky. Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, The General's Cabin offers a panacea for all of your worldly worries and concerns. The soundtrack of my daily life which consists of consistent questions from my child, the tension built up in my shoulders from driving in morning traffic and the demands of bills, birthday parties and work melt away with a quick walk down to the lake that's located on the property, a nature hike on the path that winds around the farm and a morning coffee taken on the front porch while listening to the wild birds that populate the woods. Highlights: 1. Remote and tucked away from the road. If you're looking for solace and quiet, this is your spot. There's about 40 acres of forest surrounding the cabin so you're afforded plenty of solitude. 2. Close to national parks and on the edge of the Daniel Boone Forest. It's a great spot to set up camp if you're headed to do some rock climbing or hiking at the Red River Gorge. 3. Everything you need is in the cabin! The cabin comes stocked with washing machine, dryer and laundry detergent! There's a full-sized fridge and freezer for all of your needs and a stove and range to cook or bake whatever you like. There's a coffee maker and grounds. 4. Good shopping nearby! We picked up groceries from the closest big city, Lexington on the way to the cabin - there's a Whole Foods and a co-op there that you can stock up for food. And there's the fabulous Liquor Barn where we grab baguettes from Bluegrass Bakery and cheeses, cakes and olives and wine galore. If you're ever in need of anything extra, there's a big Kroger in nearby Stanton, so no worries there! There's also an affiliated cabin across the road that provides whole multi course meals in their space, complete with wines, appetizers, main courses and desserts and even a cheese course, if you so prefer! 5. Clean and courteous. The cabin is well-maintained and the interior is comfy and well-appointed. I love the large stone fireplace and the cozy couches and chairs. It's the perfect spot to read through your stack of magazines and for kids to play in nature. The owners, Joy and Mike, left a note and some fresh flowers, which was a welcomed touch! One would expect that a cabin so remote in location would have issues with critters but I was pleasantly surprised at how tight and secure the house seemed when we visited. Despite the abundant wildlife outdoors, none of it made it inside. 6. Dogs welcome! We have a medium-sized dog that my child likes to take along on holidays and so we are always looking for accommodations that accept pets, and we were so happy to know that not only were Joy and Mike ok with us bringing our pooch along with us, they were very happy to welcome her! They mentioned that they've had many canine guests in the past and that it's never been an issue, which was a relief because vacation homes and especially ones that are so beautifully decorated often discourage dog owners from bringing dogs. 7. A fun loft space for kids! My son adores the loft space and happily set up camp up there. As soon as we walked through the doors, he spotted that loft and proceeded to climb the ladder, much to our surprise! He had us lug books and toys up there so he could "spy" on us from up there, which kept him entertained for hours. All in all, an amazing spot in the middle of the woods and one that's gorgeous and unique. I've stayed in many cabins that advertise peace and quiet and fail to deliver, but The General's Cabin did through and through. I wish we could stay for longer stretches but we will settle for returning for our annual trip back to Kentucky to visit family for our little get away from the chaos and grind of urban living. Hopefully one day, we will be able to spend a couple of weeks up there and to bring our friends to share in the joy of this corner of heaven.

Rustic and wilderness meets comfort and luxury at the end of the The General's Cabin road. We go for the amenities but we enjoy it due to the quiet, beauty, and nature.

You don't have to leave the property to get it all but if you want there are hiking trails, waterfalls, bridges and an abundance of other things to see and do in the area.

They all come with a full kitchen and utensils, propane grill, sat tv, free wifi, and hotubs. The views are beautiful since it is near the red river gorge hiking area and on a working farm. There is also a swimming pool that all cabins have access to. The owners are very friendly and let you roam their property to view the horses. Donkeys roam the property and will walk right up to you. They are incredibly friendly and let you pet them. It is a short drive to the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Natural Bridge. There is so much to do in the area, like ziplining and hiking the many paths you will have to go and find out for yourself. These cabins were built with high quality as if they were built to live in and not rental properties. Check them out at sceniccabin.com. The three cabin names are Eagle View, Twin Oaks, and Creekside. Looking forward to my next visit.
