Stanton, Kentucky
Sleepy Bear cabin, formerly known as "Sweetheart", has a fully equipped kitchen, charcoal grill, TV (DVD player only), and a personal fire pit. Efficiency style cabin offers a full size bed and twin bunk beds. There is a nice-size deck outside with outdoor furniture and a hammock and a communal fire pit across the road. Sleepy Bear sits near Restful River Cabin and Campfire Cabin. There is no satellite or cable, no Wi-Fi, and cell service can be spotty.
4-wheel or all-wheel drive is highly recommended in the winter.
Pets are allowed, with an additional fee. Limit 2.
No Smoking, inside property! It is allowed outside.
The only complaint that I have is that there was a strong smell of mold and mildew.
We couldn’t get the cabin to lock so we contacted the owner and she stated she would have someone come lock it. When we returned to the cabin, our things were in an unlocked cabin all day. They never came and locked it. At the end of our stay we went to the owner's office during business hours to tell them the cabin was unlocked. They had a curtain drawn so we called them on the phone and they stated they were open , but hadn't opened the curtain. We thought this was unprofessional. 3 business days after our stay we sent owner feedback and never heard from them.
Far from private. They managed to squeeze 3 cabins right next to each other. You share the same parking spots fire pits and sitting areas. They are even angled towards each other. Not close at all to the Gorge. VRBO gives you an approximate location which makes it look close but it is located on a side road that does not connect to 615. It is about 30 minutes to nada tunnel and another 15 to most trails. Not a big deal but should 100% be on the listing that there is no signal in the area you need to drive 5 minutes to get service as well as no wifi. Had to reach out to the host for the door code who asked me to go to the main office for a key. Ended up just being a door code that they could have sent rather having me drive 30 minutes out of the way to their office. My conclusion this place is owned by a company that owns a lot of properties and doesnt care about there quality as long as the money is flowing. Will never rent this place or any other from this company.
First cabin didn't work because huge crowd appeared next door. We were switched from Fern Valley Sweetheart to Serenity, and remainder of time was great - quiet and beautiful.
Enjoyed access to the river across the street
Not enough effort from the cleaning crew. Shower was short of pitiful. Nasty looking kitchen sink. There are several repair/updates needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No phone service or internet. Appears no TV availability. If you like the wilderness, this would be your place
Didn’t get to stay in cabin shown on advertisement. Moderate odor of mildew on bedding and walls.
A nice, simple place to keep us dry and comfortable. Comfy mattresses.
Great simple cabin to do some front porch sittin' after a long day of exploring the area.
