This getaway is close to the Red River Gorge & located in the Daniel Boone National Forest which covers more than 700,000 acres along the Appalachian Mountain foothills and the Cumberland Plateau & containing an estimated 500 miles of trails through rugged terrain made of sandstone cliffs and exposed limestone rock faces. This trail network is larger than any other in Kentucky. Home to the largest collection of natural arches and bridges found east of the Rocky Mountains, the sandstone cliffs offer a lifetime of climbing opportunities at all levels & is one of the most popular climbing meccas east of the Mississippi. Among these cliffs is Natural Bridge, a magnificent arch, which is 65 feet tall and 78 feet long, is one of the most famous natural sandstone arches.

Cave Run Lake is even closer, where you can enjoy boating, water sports, sailing, swimming & fishing, and is almost completely within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Kentucky State record for the largest muskie is here, and it is still The Muskie Capital of the South!

    Our stay at Julie's property was the perfect place for our small family reunion. Very peaceful and thankful to find such a place to make our special memories.

    We enjoyed our stay. Everything was nice. Kitchen had everything you would need and more. Bedrooms were all nice and spacious. Pool was up and going the end of March. The kids loved that. Our family loves the outdoors. They enjoyed fishing both ponds. Exploring and hiking. If we didn’t have other plans, we could have just stayed at the house and explored all there was to see right there. The hot tub had a very strong chemical smell. It did get better during our stay, but was still strong. It would be nice if the furniture was a little more comfortable. We like to relax and stretch out after hiking during the day. Most of the furniture are chairs. A few couches or lazy boys where you can kick your feet up would be nice. Other than that we had a great time. Julie answered all questions we had quickly.

    This beautiful and well kept property was an amazingly relaxing atmosphere for our reunion. From the private lake fishing, the pool, & hot tub to the most elegant & functional kitchen imaginable, it was just perfect in every way

    The property was perfect for our family of 15 to include 3 generations. The kitchen is stocked with anything that you may need. We had our meals on the outside deck and had no issues with bugs. The kids enjoyed the pool, the canoes in the pond and the fishing was good as well. The roads to get to the property are very winding and narrow, but a good slow drive. The only drawbacks to the property is that you can hear everything in the house, kids having conversations on the floor above, people walking on floors and stairway. The other consideration is the distance from a store, it was a 25 mile drive to Walmart for some items we forgot and a better selection of produce and some other groceries. We would stay again it truly was very restful and a beautiful location.

    Everything was great. Been going to rentals with a small group of friends for years and this one was one of the best rentals. Everything was perfectly described in the listing (no surprises when we checked in). We'll be booking again.

    Beautiful property with lovely pool and gardens. Spotlessly clean and manager responded immediately to our 2 requests. Inside in need of furniture update but kids loved it.

    We really enjoyed spending time with family at this beautiful property. The pool and hot tub were big hits with both the kids and adults. The grounds were immaculate and the fishermen of our group loved the catch-n-release lakes. We did some hiking at Red River Gorge—a 50-60 minute drive to Natural Bridge.

    We had a wonderful time! The pool and fishing on the two docks were the highlight of the trip! We were in the pool morning, noon and night! The grandkids loved swimming in the dark!! The kitchen was perfect for all of us. All 15 of us were able to eat all our meals on the porch. We had a kids table and an adult table. When it was really hot, we would stay inside and play card games, dominos, etc… at the big table. Julie was extremely quick in getting back to us with any answers to our questions. She was very easy to work with. The time just flew by for all of us. Thank you for giving our family a great vacation!

    Had a wonderful stay at Julie’s property. The kids all had a blast in the pool and there was everything you could think of needing. If you like to cook then you will be in heaven once you see the kitchen, very efficient. This is a great place to gather with friends and family, good fishing too ?
