    We stayed May 30 -June 5, 2026This place is definitely quaint. Although we mainly just used it for sleeping, preparing some meals, & the occasional regroup. I did message the host prior to arriving, but after a week had not heard back so I contacted VRBO support, that made me feel a little uneasy... but all worked out.On cleanliness: when we walked in it smelled clean & fresh & looked clean. Some notices though: the windows were not clean. The outside areas of the cabin didn't look like it ever gets cleaned/even sprayed off. There were some cobwebs, & it some surfaces could use dusted. We did see when we moved the couches out a little that they must not get moved to be swept under. The kitchen supplies were OK. Not the greatest, but one would not expect top rate items for a rental cabin. It is not a super quiet place as you can hear the Mountain Parkway especially at night. There are 2 other places & 1 being built within sight and close, so it is not tucked away by itself. The road to get to it is rough & narrow, but we had a truck so no issues, but just for awareness. There are 38 steps to get to the door. Main floor: kitchen, bathroom, bedroom. Down 4 steps living room, up 13 steps main bedroom with shower & whirlpool tub. The beds were not comfortable, feels like the mattresses are very old & worn out.

    This cabin was your basic cabin. I think that the expectation when staying here is that you are back to nature and probably out exploring it instead of hanging around the cabin. There is nothing fancy in this cabin but it definitely met our needs. There were several televisions with DISH service but we did not even turn them on.I must remind myself going forward to check for the things that are NOT listed because they are just as important as the things that ARE listed. We did not have wifi and at first was a little disappointed…not for long. Didn’t really need it. We had some cellular reception most of the time. The owner/host is not to blame for me not knowing. I, of course, did not read carefully. Wifi was not listed in the amenities. Again, make sure to look for what is NOT listed. (Not the first time I have done that. LOL)I am not sure that it is listed in the description but there are 38 steps to enter the cabin. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and feel that if you are accustomed to rustic conditions, this is a good value.

    The cabin was just like it said. HOWEVER... the cleanliness was absolutely awful. We are not ones to complain as we visit many places. This particular cabin was bad. I understand cobwebs and dust in a wooded cabin. I also understand its a cabin thar allows pets. So we didnt expect it to be immaculate. What we did expect was clean towels and showers. There were literally medication patches stuck to the shower walls. The towels had stains on them. There was hair stuck to the shower walls we we arrived. Just being honest in hopes it helps. We gave stayed at multiple cabins in the RRG and this was by far the worst experience.

    We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. Check in and check out was easy and right down the street. Good communication with host. The location of the cabin is great and a quick easy drive up into the mountain. Parking was big enough I could easily turn my Escalade ESV around. There are some stairs gong up from the parking to the front door but we were staying there to hike the area so stairs were not really a problem for us or our dog. Is the cabin new, no, but we thought it was nice especially for the price and views. Cabin had everything we needed and if it didn't there were 2 gas stations right before the entrance to go up to it.

    Great location, decently priced, gatlinburg-type cabin vibe, but upgrades are needed. Lighting was very dim, TV's were too small; housekeeping can do a better job cleaning - crumbs on couches, floors dirty. Front main balcony & furniture was nice but the furniture on the back deck and back outdoor chairs were not suitable to sit on (need to be thrown away or deep cleaning). The bonfire pit was up a steep dirt hill and is hazardous to get to. Some nice rustic touches like the upstairs hand banister was made out of tree branches, which looked cool. I would recommend upgrades in order to book another stay here again though.

    Pros great central location, living room furnishings very comfy, nice rustic cabin, very homey water pressure was good, movies provided.Cons beds were on rollers and wood floors you do the math, neighbors super close in great number, view is very lack luster, not great for hiking, showers are small, tvs are small. No big tables for cars or bored games, Worth the four stars very well deserved four stars. Overall we had an amazing visits and would definitely recommend especially if your there to experience the red river gorge attractions.

    First, know that there are 38 steps to reach the door. If you travel with pet crates, pet beds, coolers etc you may be exhausted before you get there.The home was poorly stocked. No paper towels, shampoo, soap etc. There were only a few pots and pans. There were dirty forks in the drawer and the floor was dirty. The bed was uncomfortable. The bedroom drawers were full of their linens leaving no room for us the unpack clothes. We left after one night.

    The location was good and parking/driving was easy. But the cabin floors were very dirty and they didn't provide many cleaning supplies. But I'd stay here again for the amount of space and location.

    Cabin was nice and in a nice spot but it was very dirty. Went down and spoke with the property manager explained how there was a coating of dust over lots of surfaces as well as the ceiling fan blades and cobwebs in slot of the corners. the instructions said not to turn the ac colder than 74 or if would freeze up the condenser and we would be charged for the repair.. but the rains we so dirty they were unusable. The property manager was very nice and said she would have some one clean while we were out for the day. Someone did come and mop which was not the issue but there was still dust over everything and obvious cobwebs in the corners. I paid 575 dollars for a three night stay and that is a special thing for us to be able to do. I was very disappointed as this was my wife’s birthday gift. We still had a good time, hiking around, and the location was nice and close to lots of hiking but for how much we spent I was quite disappointed in the cleanliness of the cabin.

    The cabin was beautiful. The stairs to it takes forever. Loved the view from the balconies. Didn’t like the placement of the firepit. It's a little inconvenient. The fireplace didn't work and that was disappointing. Overall it was a beautiful quiet stay. We were able to get very much needed peaceand quiet. We'd probably would stay again here but still might check out the other cabins.

    For the cost, I was expecting a nicer cabin than cheaper ones I have rented in the area. The neighborhood and location are great, and the cabin is adorable. But, we didnt receive our check in instructions, so when we arrived and had no internet, it was very difficult to find out that we actually have to go to a coffee shop 2 miles away to check in. We also missed out on the heads up that there are no paper towels, coffee filters, etc. So we were very unprepared for all of that, and made our first night more stressful than the beginning of a vacation should be. Then, we discovered two of the towels left for us were dirty. Not stained, dirty. Had to once again drive to the coffee shop to get clean ones as no extra are provided. The instructions for the fireplace do not help, so it was unusable, which was sad as we were looking forward to it. There were also stains on the sheets, which is quite gross and easy to remedy by replacing the sheets. I also found dried contacts on the bedside table, which were difficult to see but made it obvious that commonly used surfaces weren't clean. I know it is the renters responsibility to clean dishes before leaving, but it should be on the management to check to make sure the dishes are actually clean- they were, for the most part, not clean. In short, we had a nice enough stay, but will be renting from other places in the future as this was pretty disappointing for the cost.

    This cabin fit our needs well. The team was always responsive and easy to work with. The cabin was clean and I liked that it was close to many of the main activities in RRG. Would recommend and stay again.
