Great space! We loved the huge windows in the bedroom. The hot tub was super clean as well. Would definitely stay again.

What an incredible experience! The cabin we rented was the Taoist, and it could not have been more ideal for us. It is located close enough to the activity of the Red River Gorge that you can quickly get to any activity or location you want, and yet it is as isolated as you could ask for. The hosts have thought of nearly every single detail, the property was immaculate, and we had the most relaxing weekend. The single item to note is that the instructions clearly state the need for a 4x4 vehicle, and they mean it. Access is not for a two wheel drive sedan, and i seriously doubt the ability of an all wheel drive to navigate the challenges all the way to the cabin door. Still way more than worth the effort! We rarely stay anywhere more than once as we love to experience new adventures. This property may break our travel habits, and a second visit would be very welcome Kudos to the property owners for all of their efforts, it shows in the offering. Thanks so much, Mark and Aly
