This is a recently built cabin designed for a resort experience. With a hot tub, a pool table, movie room, generous couches, and spacious deck. One morning I was able to identify over 12 bird species in less than an hour while reading. Our family of 7 adults had enough space for sleeping, and the Red River Gorge area has an abundance of delights.
Why 4 instead of 5 stars? Two reasons, one minor and one major. The cabin seemed to be short on the details. No spices in the kitchen, no soap or shampoo in the bathrooms. This felt like a new construction that no one has ever lived in. Not a hotel and far from a "shared family home" we've experienced with many VRBO places.
The biggest issue is the location. The directions were inadequate and both of our vehicles took wrong turns trying to follow them. The owner warns "4-wheel drive is recommended". That should be "high clearance 4-wheel drive is mandatory". I expect that the road will be impassable in winter or after a rain. One local told me he wouldn't take his truck down that road, and the very steep gravel path was terrifying for one of our drivers.
This is beautiful cabin and highly recommended -- if you're equipped for an adventure.
