This cabin was the perfect getaway. The setting was beautiful, and it had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We loved the seclusion and quiet, peaceful atmosphere. We highly recommend this cabin and look forward to staying here again in the future.
Such a cute little place to stay! They even left the light on for us.

My wife and I had an excellent time at Ursa Major! Very comfortable property, excellent views, plenty of accessibility to nearby attractions. Would definitely recommend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was clean and had well-furnished kitchen. The hot tub is a nice addition to soothe sore muscles after hiking. We saw an indigo bunting, deer and fawn, and group of turkeys with young.
Great cabin, hot tub was great, super close to Red River Gorge and hiking

My husband, myself, and our dog stayed here for a weekend of hiking in Red River Gorge. The location is pretty close to all of the trails we hiked and the house itself was perfect for coming back at night to relax.
The cabin was clean, comfortable, and felt updated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again!

The cabin is exactly as advertised and as reviewed by others. Nice private location at the top of the hill with land all around; cabin is nicely appointed and just like the pictures and description say; excellent location for hiking in the Red River Gorge. We really enjoyed our stay.

We are glad you enjoyed the location, kitchen, and hot tub! Thank you all for staying with Red River Gorge Cabin Company! Please come back to stay with us.
Loved the style of this place! Kitchen and living area especially - and the high ceilings make it feel bigger than it is. Bed was comfortable and the sofa was nice to relax in as well. Perfect location for where we wanted to hike.
Overall the accommodation did what we needed. We did not like the location as far as the road was basically one car width and an Amazon truck actually went off the road. Being secluded was good, but I was uncertain still with the accommodation having 3 sliding glass doors, but the natural light was nice. We did not use the hot tub.
Lovely cabin in a great location near the park. The cabin was clean and well cared for. Excellent communication. Would absolutely stay again.

Ursa Major was very nice and matched our expectations. The two bedrooms have cute decor. We enjoyed the porch, fire ring, and hot tub. Plenty of room outside. Kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and dishes.
