Quaint woodsy cabin

We had a wonderful time here! The outside area was wonderful and it was well appointed. A few more cups for coffee, extra pillows would have been great, but we were comfortable.

Amazing

A short drive from the Red River Gorge. The cabin sits on a dead end gravel road on top of a hill. It's very quiet and nice place to relax after a day of hiking.

Get away from it all

Rent this cabin if you want something secluded, but yes, other cabins in area. For evenings it has a huge covered deck with a swing, a glider, and lots of chairs and tables. AND a hot tub to relax aching muscles. Turned air conditioning to 70 & it cools house even if 80F outside, maybe bring a fan to move air upstairs. Fit 4 adults & toddler comfortably with plenty of hot water available for all.

Clean, remote, quiet cabin in the mountains

Super clean and quiet location Quite large hot tub leak and the steep stairs to the second floor could use some lighting… shower head has very low pressure… Just as advertised rental, check in /out times are not very agreeable with most schedules…but if you want a cabin way up in the mountains this place is for you!

Beautiful Cabin

Lovely cabin in the woods. I wanted something away but didn’t realize how off the beaten path the cabin was. It took a few drives to get use to it but there were great directions given to us to get there. The propane fire place didn’t work and the directions didn’t seem like that was something to contact anyone about because it said “there’s another heat source” so that was the only disappointment. Overall loved it and would love to stay again. It was clean and the hot tub was great!

Beautiful setting

The cabin setting was beautiful. The drive up was a clencher. I was with my mom and elderly aunts though and I will say the stairs to the loft were unmanageable for 3 of the group and the couch is not a comfortable sleep. The hot tub needs some work also. Otherwise the cabin is beautiful and perfect for a family gathering. We had a great time. Plenty of towels and the kitchen is stocked. I would definitely stay again.

Nice secluded cabin in the woods

We were so glad to find this cabin for our dog and ourselves for the fall weekend in Red River Gorge. It was very clean, and included all amenities we needed. It was very peaceful and comfortable. The shower was a nice size, and good water pressure, but it could use a shower caddy/shelves, as there was nowhere to put soap and shampoo (other than the floor) while showering. We were also impressed that hot water was almost instant from all faucets. We also liked the heater. The beds were comfortable but most of the pillows were bigger and harder than desired.

Beautiful

Getting to the cabin was difficult but the location was worth it. Very secluded, private, quiet and relaxing. We ran Into some issues. The stairs were a bit steep and a little scary for one of the members we had with us but thankfully there was a 1st floor bedroom. The directions were a little bit confusing still and when we contacted the owner we heard from him at first right away but then didn't answer my last question until the next morning, other than that the man was awesome and accommodating. We are so appreciative to be able to stay in this cabin.

Great Cabin in the woods

Nice hottub and kitchen/living room windows and porch looks off into woods. But they are building a cabin close by so not totally secluded anymore. Nice downstairs bedroom. The 2 upstairs bedrooms are on steep stairs so not for young kids or if you have mobility issues. They were awesome to allow us to take our 2 dogs! Take food so you dont have to go out after dark. The road is long and twisty w clifts dropping straight down in parts. I wouldnt drive it in the dark. I recommend this wonderful cabin with a beautiful view of woods and great customer service.

Birthday weekend!

We went to RRG with friends for my wife’s birthday. This property was super cool! One of the best cabins I’ve been at. You’re really (emphasis on really) up in the mountain. If you’ve read any reviews on the area/other cabins in general, an AWD car is honestly super helpful. I thought people were being dramatic. Our little old Mazda really struggled up the roads. But if you’re looking for a genuine cabin in the woods, minimal people around (enough that you’re not scared though), this is it. The only thing I would say is to bring your own pillows. The ones at the cabin were thiccc and hard - made for very uncomfy sleeping for all 4 of us. But a lot of fun! Really great communication! Highly suggest

Weekend Retreat

Pictures of the cabin were pretty accurate. A few downfalls were that there was one heater and it was a struggle to keep the bedrooms upstairs cool and the downstairs warm. Additionally, we tried to use one pan that was either dirty or not cleaned well & it smoked a lot and we couldn’t use it to make our dinner. The cabin was mostly clean but you could tell it was a quick clean with some cobwebs in the doorways. We were disappointed with the quality of the cabin overall given how much we paid for it. The beds & pillows were rather hard too. We did enjoy cooking on the grill, having a fire, sitting in the hot tub and being able to bring our dog! The view is also super pretty. Communication with the owner & directions to the spot were amazing!

Gem in the woods

Hickory Hilltop was such a cute place. We had a lovely time. The only recommendation for them would be to have better utensils and kitchenware. There were no hot pads, rubber spatulas or even mixing bowls for salad. The skillet was horrid so we ended up using the cast iron on the glasstop. That's not good for glasstop, but we had no other choice to cook our food. Hitting a few garage sales would be helpful to stock the kitchen better. The mattresses were really bad as well. Very hard and we could feel the springs. One bed upstairs was good, the other 2 left us hurting and hard to sleep. It's nice to get good rest on vacation, an upgrade on those features would do well. Overall our stay was fabulous. The cabin is remote and in a beautiful location. We loved it! We would stay again!

Kentucky getaway

The cabin was very cute. The road up to the cabin is well maintained. The night we got there it was dark and raining so the directions that the host sent were a must to follow. I would suggest maybe some big reflectors on the red river gorge cabin signs coming in. I did have to text the host that night to ask where some of the kitchen items were as we were very road weary and didn't think to look in the book. I got a response right away. Jonathan made sure the heater was on, which we appreciated very much as it started sleeting and snowing as soon as we pulled up. When I got the chance to read the host book I was taken aback by the whole page about dogs. Obviously there were some issues in the past with some of the other guests dogs but it made me uncomfortable and made me feel like my dog wasn't really welcomed. Maybe you should rethink your pet policy. Aside from that we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this cabin. We travel a lot and so have stayed in many rentals. This one is an easy pick, very enjoyable trip.
