About this property

The Cave Run Lake Cabin

Minutes from Cave Run Lake in Daniel Boone National Forest this 1200 square foot cabin sits on a quiet street in a nice cabin community.

The cabin sleeps up to 7 and has all the modern amenities. It has a large living room that can be used as a sleeping area and a large loft upstairs. This is one main room upstairs but split into two sleeping areas.

The driveway is big enough for your boat with the closest ramp less than 3 miles away. Extra boat parking behind the shed.

It is a short drive from Red River Gorge which has long been a favorite attraction to people in Kentucky so if you are looking for some fun, and peace and quiet, look no further and book today!

The property was very clean and well-maintained. Very cozy and charming property. Pet-friendly is a plus. The host is very kind and easy to communicate with. It's a quiet neighborhood and perfect for relaxing. The screened-in porch with chairs is also perfect for calm nights.

Nice cabin

Enjoyed our stay. Cabin had more than enough room for us. Cabin was supplied with almost everything we needed. We forgot a lighter for the fire pit & grill & did not find one in cabin. There was a Dollar General store close which was convenient.

Beautiful property!

The cabin is beautiful and in a lovely location. The screened-in porches were especially nice. It is not a 2-bedroom, however. That's explained in the description, but it really should be listed as a 1-bedroom property.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 April 2024
Thanks for staying! The previous owners used the current living area as a bedroom and the dining room as the living room. I since have converted it to add more living space. The downstairs living area, while open serves as a second private sleeping area away from the large upstairs loft.

Perfect for Weekend Getaway

The directions provided by the host were excellent, and needed since we lost service about 15 minutes out! It's a cute neighborhood, neighbors didn't bother us at all. Hikes required a bit of a drive, but the place itself was very clean, warm (wood burning stove!). Bring your own firewood or be prepared to go find it!

Stay at the cozy cabin

The stay was good, i only have two suggestions and that would be to have a fan or some kind of cooling source in the living room to help cool the down stairs a little quicker, second thing would be to clean a little better in the shower..Overall our stay was great there were lots of extra amenities thats definitely made the experience very at home like, we would definitely rent this cabin again

Thanks for the comments. The air conditioner in the kitchen as well as the ac in the loft do a great job of keeping the cabin cool. I’m curious if you didn’t use the ac downstairs?

Low key family fun spot

We were hoping for an outdoorsy weekend, but weather had other plans. Still, This was a fun property to hide away from the cold rain. The screened in porch was a perfect place for coffee breaks and card games! Owner was very responsive and friendly

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are the Farlow Family out of Cincinnati, Ohio. We purchased the cabin to use personally as well as to allow others to enjoy it. We will often come down and enjoy the quiet time away as well as the exciting time at the lake.

Please feel free to send me any questions you have about our Cabin and I encourage you to stay there, you will enjoy it!

Why they chose this property

After years of searching, we choose this property because of its secluded location, and how close it is to the lake. 5 minutes to the closest ramp, with fishing close by makes having a cabin in Daniel Boone National Forest a real treat!

What makes this property unique

Enough space to sleep 7 people with all the amenities of home. Large enough area to turn around and park your boat.
