Enjoy the peace, quiet and security of a log cabin with all the amenities of home along with lots of privacy. Whippoorwill Ridge is a hand hewn log cabin nestled in the mountains of Eastern KY. The cabin features a gorgeous hand built fireplace and chimney of sandstone which was quarried nearby. There is one bedroom and a loft area partially overlooking the living room. There is a passageway, but no door between the bedroom and the loft area. The loft area has a queen bed, and a small balcony which is ideal for watching the sunset. There is a sleeper sofa in the living room. and the kitchen is fully equipped. The large wraparound porch is an ideal gathering place especially during a rain. There is a fire ring in the back yard and even a wood shed if you get mesmerized by the fire and the weather changes. Soak in the hot tub after a hike around the Gorge. We are just 25 minutes from Natural Bridge and the Red River Gorge Geological Area. Enjoy the beauty of the area in a drive or a hike and come back to a cozy evening in our home.

This was a lovely stay. Often times WiFi doesn’t work at these places and there is no phone signal. I had no trouble with that at this cabin, which was a relief.
The cabin is up a steep hill and we were there when it started to sleet. We have 4WD and we were fine but left a bit early so we didn’t get stuck, it got dangerous on the hill quickly. If you book this place during winter, be aware of the risk of snow or ice on the hill. Otherwise, lovely.
I really loved the privacy of this cabin. The bedrooms were very cozy, The metal roof made for a super relaxing time for me and my daughter over the weekend considering it stormed really hard. We enjoyed the large front porch. It actually became our stage because I brought our karoake machine and we sang Miranda Lambert one night. Luckily the cabin is private because our singing voices are less than par.
I did have to call about the grill but the property manager was very helpful in walking me through hooking up the new propane tank. It was my first time and I appreciated her patience. She offered to send her son to help me out but stated he would be a 45 minute drive so thankfully I was able to get it going without having to inconvenience him. I do think maybe the cabin could use a cleaning in the corners of the rooms and behind furniture also some cleaning of dead bugs in the windows but also my house could probably use the same. I just don't rent mine out ;) lol. I would definitely stay here again. I look forward to it!
The property was adorable and very well kept. Very isolated which we loved. We were disappointed that the indoor fireplace/stove didn't work as it was listed as an amenity. The hot did work well, there were some floating things in the water, not sure what those were as upon looking at it, it did appear clean. The bed was comfortable and clean and this kitchen had what we needed (except maybe a paring knife/sharp knife). It is really beautiful and we had a lovely weekend. We did use the outdoor firepit which was nice as well.
Great little cabin! Host was awesome, great communication. Easy drive to every attraction im the Red River Gorge, and an easy drive to Richmond if your looking for a bit of "city" action. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the oven door is falling off if you simply touch the range and the stand that the microwave and toaster sit on is ready to topple onto someone. In all fairness, I did report to the host and told them that we would be ok to not have it repaired during our stay, but still a bit of a flaw that keeps this cabin from being 5 stars. All im all we had a great time exploring the gorge and it was nice to have a comfortable hot tub, cozy cabin and nice bed to recover grom the days hiking, snd not have to drive too far to get "home".

The property was great. It was just infested with bees and all sorts of little insects
The place is really nice and peaceful beautiful area
We all know what we like, pictures tell a 1000 words. So you know what your getting when you stay here... It's rustic and relaxing. This old house was somebody's dream and I like to imagine what they were thinking when they build it. That's just me, I like old structures and the history that follows. If you're staying here it's because you're probably hiking through Red River Gorge. So that jakuzi after a long day is refreshing, thanks.

We had a last minute weekend getaway with friends. The cabin is very cozy and clean. The view was gorgeous. Hot tub was clean, warm and ready to get in. Beds are very comfortable as well. We would happily stay again
The cabin was nice and as advertised. My only exception was at all times of the day a pack of dogs would come through jumping the fence and leave us a smelly present on the porch. I had to be careful with our dogs I’m sure they are neighbors dogs all 6 or 7 of them.

We travel to the gorge every year, sometimes twice and this will will be our least favorable. When we arrived, trash was all over the yard from the garbage cans, the hot tub cover and housing were deteriorated and the gray water inside was not appealing. It didn’t improve much inside as we were greeted by roaches , stink bugs and an apparently a rotten section of the floor between the living room and kitchen. The ice maker was broken. There was no relaxing in the den. It’s more like office furniture than den furniture. In all the cabin looked like it was not kept up. The discomforts and unwanted surprises continued to total up the longer we were there which resulted in cutting our trip extremely short. Would not recommend.

Overall my friend and I enjoyed our stay. However, the add or owner should have mentioned the neighbors pack of dogs before we arrived, not by the in-case-of-emergency pepper spray container on the table on the back porch. Both my friend and I are dog lovers and we managed the neighbors pack of, at least, six dogs. But if someone who is not familiar with pack mentality rents this cabin I cannot imagine how terrified they might be.
Thanks for listening,
Lucinda
Please fix the nail sticking out on the banister going up the stairs, my friend ripped her finger open on it.
