Explore easily

Great location to go out and explore.
Kirk, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed 3 nights. This was our base for exploring the Red River Gorge. Very centrally located! Conveniently located close to dining, hiking, and other adventures!

Best place to stay.

This is my second time staying here. Perfect location and I love the rustic looking rooms, adds to the experience of being outdoors. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. I will be back. The price is very reasonable too!

Wet Weekend in the Red River Gorge

A friend and I embarked on an extended weekend in the Red River Gorge; while the room worked well for the two of us, the weather did not since we were there during the huge deluge. Consequently, we made the decision to leave after one night in case the waters kept rising and we would be unable to return to Michigan. The area was beautiful, and I'd love to return on an albeit much drier time.

Cute, quiet easy to access. Great location with good food and drinks nearby. Watch out for the large hole in the driveway where the lane meets the bridge.

Almost Perfect

Room was great and had incredibly easy access to everything you would want to see in the area! The only unfortunate part was that the walls were very thin and not very soundproof, so we were woken up at all hours of the night from noisy neighbors. Other than that, the place was great! Rooms were clean and appeared exactly as described, would recommend to others.

Trisha, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I didn't have too high expectations for this property. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower. Property is nice right off the main strip. Would definitely stay here.
Jessica, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Would have loved it but there were several dead bugs in the room, the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the heat didn’t seem to work properly and the staff was less than helpful. The limestone mine with kayaking was fun. The ark is close so we visited that.
Jessica, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice stay

It was so cute and cozy. Will definitely be coming back. I loved that they provided a small box fan since i always sleep with white noise. Everything was clean, and working, and best of all-you felt safe. The only thing i must say is the beds are on the firm side, but thats a preference thing so still 5 stars from me👍 OH YEAH, there boone dinner has really nice workers and fast service. Loved it all!!
