Great place to stay for our girl’s trip. Very close to Kroger. Had plenty of room for our party of 4. We slept well, had plenty of towels, and had a welcoming Kroger card and breakfast bars waiting for us. Will definitely keep this place in mind if we ever can get back to the area!

The house was a perfect size for our family of 6 adults and one medium sized dog to relax and play games after hiking at the nearby Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park. The house was exceptionally clean and well stocked with towels, blankets, and kitchen supplies. We even found an extension cord to use because we forgot ours. The privacy patio out back is very nice for cookouts and relaxing around the fire pit. Connie was very friendly, easy to contact, responded quickly to our questions and even provided snacks. We definitely enjoyed our stay and would rent here again.

Wonderful Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! This cute home had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and we loved the back patio. This location was a quick drive to many hiking trails and to the wedding we were attending. If we ever find ourselves in the area we would definitely stay here again!

This home was perfect for our stay. The house was stocked beautifully with more towels than needed. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our meals. The back courtyard was so cute even though we did not get a chance to use. We were in a great location for hiking and exploring Red River Gorge and UTV ride at Out the Top. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your awesome home.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha Ayres

Host profile image
I’m from Winchester, Ky. I’m the owner of the Yellow Door Cottage just 30 minutes from our home where my husband and I live and he manages a large cattle operation. We love owning the YDC and enjoy hearing from our guests and making their experiences great! We have 2 sons and they gave us 2 beautiful daughters in love and 6 sweet grandchildren! They are the love of our lives! We love to travel as well and I’m constantly planning a new trip! We get it! We stay in short term rentals regularly and are always learning and finding ways to improve the guests’ experience. Can’t wait to host you!

Why they chose this property

We love the proximity to all the Red River Gorge has to offer and the convenience of shopping and food nearby! Stanton is a bit like Mayberry. Quiet and friendly and just the perfect spot for a fun family trip! Plus in bad weather our streets are always cleared.

What makes this property unique

Location! Love being close to RRG and close to all amenities! Right off Mountain Parkway but walk to the best Mexican restaurant, pizza, Chinese, and amazing home cooked food at Bruen’s restaurant! Cool little hot dog stands and coffee stands too!
