Overall a wonderful stay. There’s an exterior light that switches on and off ALL NIGHT LONG that seriously disrupted our sleep. Another guest mentioned it in their review last August and nothing has been done about it. The house would also benefit from hooks in the bathroom and bedrooms to hang towels and clothes. Other than that, it’s a great stay.

Red River convenience and practical comfort

Appreciate the "retreat" nature of this home after activities for the day. Nice proximity to a couple of convenience stores, local "attractions", and easy on/off to parkway for further excursions. Only "complaint", would be nice to have a little more water pressure for the shower.

Overall great place. The area is noisy due to being near a road but overall good stay. The key pad wasn’t working when we arrived and had to contact the management and was able to get the code for the key lock. Beautiful home, and great price!

Quick overnight stay

Booked this place due to location. It’s super close to red river gorge and all that it brings. The front of the house is really close to the road but the back makes up for it. The fence makes it feel secluded and the hill behind the house allowed our dog to get all her zoomies out! Was an amazing place to stay and you can tell someone really went out of their way to make it look really nice! 10 out of 10 would stay again

Comfortable and Clean

The property was exactly as it was described. It was a great location for us and the house was clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We appreciated all the little things that the owner thought to include, like extra cozy blankets, toiletries, and kitchenware. We were very relaxed in the home. The beds were very comfortable, as were the sofa and chairs. The hot tub and firepit were clean and ready to go. We were looking forward to using them, but never got the change on this trip. Additionally, the communication with the owner was exceptional. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone staying in the area.

Short visit

Place nicely kept and easy to find. Entry code didn’t work so was a bit of a hassle to get in. Management responded quickly and fixed the issue so it was a minor inconvenience. Couldn’t get Wi-Fi connection and some highway noise was the biggest negative.

Recently updated/Close to everything

Property has clearly been recently updated and they did not skimp on the finishes. Soft close custom cabinetry, stone countertops, hardwood floors, and tile shower. Backyard is private with hot tub, firepit, and grill. Beds were very comfortable. The update is top notch. Only negative is the proximity to the road and a couple of properties nearby that are a little messy to look at. Those do not detract from the stay at all. Minutes from the interstate, trails, State Park and restaurants. Highly recommend this property.

Centrally located home for exploring Red river gorge

The home appears to be very newly remodeled. Nicely decorated and very clean. Having a washer/dryer was a plus. We were there for 4 nights. Host was quick to respond to questions during our stay. Hot tub had a great view of the night sky. Home location is close to roads so you do hear traffic but that was mentioned in description. The microwave and upper kitchen cupboards are mounted higher than typical so it could be an issue if you are of short stature.

Beep….beep…..beeep

Location and amenities on the property were great. It was close to good hiking trails. However, when we got there, the smoke detector in the basement (which was locked) was chirping. The outside garbage was close to overflowing. We contacted the company through the app. They were quick to respond, however no one came to fix the problem. So the smoke alarm chirped all three nights we were there. My girlfriend downloaded a white noise app so, thankfully, we were able to get some sleep.

Overall good experience. Property was updated and in convenient location. Down fall would be arrival. As seen in other comment(s), code did not work. Called management and got issues resolved fairly quickly (Heather was great). Road noise was a bit on the loud side but not terrible.

It was centrally located. Our only issue was we are animal rights activists. The people across the street kept a dog on a chain most of the time we were there - in the heat or rain but they had another dog that was inside and brought out on a leash. Not your fault but it was hard for us to sleep knowing that dog was chained up outside. it is illegal to do that in Tennessee but we undertand there isn't a no chain law in Kentucky.

Spacious Interior, Well Maintained

Fantastic location directly off the Bert T Combs (exit 33). Beautiful, comfortable and well appointed interior. Open floor plan allows time together but well sized bedrooms provide room for quiet time. Very large backyard, if you are willing to walk up the hill, for kids and pups to run around. The only con is that the backyard is not fully fenced in. Fence is great for privacy, but does not enclose the complete front or roadside area of the yard so you will need to watch kids and/or pups as ours about got away. Also be mindful of the chained up dogs across the street.
