The General's Cabin

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.

Wow. this place has it all. I love this place! Our family…read morehas been visiting this cabin annually for years. 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. If you are looking for peace, fun and luxury here you have it all. 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.

We were with 2 other families and Wildcat couldn't accommodate us. There were several sites opened but refused to move us. Before the fireworks began on Saturday evening we decided to take the kids down to listen to the band and then stay to watch the fireworks. Big mistake! Up on the top of the hill they allow 4 wheelers, dirt bikers, RZR's and any other time of vehicle to park on the hillside with no barrier and right as it was getting dark a 15 year old got off her 4 wheeler on the top never put it in park and it rolled down the hill and slammed into my families RZR pushing it into our friends RZR. My daughter was hit in the chest lucky she is ok. My husband was in the driver seat and is fine. Her parents were both drunk. Her uncle was supposedly in charge. I called the police but they wouldn't come out because of it being on private property. The owner tried our family like we were trash and treated to kick us out. No apologies or nothing. Worst riding park ever! Will not be back. Damages to our RZR were treated as if they were no big deal. Not a family friendly park. The security/sherrif on site couldn't and wouldn't do anything about it.

We booked our wedding venue in Thousand Oaks, CA and were very excited due to it checking all the boxes for the wants of the wedding. Unfortuantely, and luckily, we stumbled across their chapter 11 bankruptcy filing a few months later. There was no notification of this and if we had not inadvertently discovered this we would have probably been SOL. This is the news publication we discovered. Ultimately they sent us a one sentence cancellation email after multiple attempts to contact them with no response. No mention of reimbursement or anything other than "your reservation has been cancelled." We disputed the charge on our credit card and will hopefully recover the money.
