Our stay was amazing. The cabin was so cute. I loved the heated bathroom for showering. That was a fun surprise. The view was spectacular. I loved reading on the deck each morning.
The cabin was everything that you expected and more. Very nice and clean, Brad and Holy were in communication with us with sightseeing places, places to eat ect. Would highly recommend to anyone.
I really enjoyed staying at the cabin! It felt very private even with other properties around. The hosts communicated very well regarding checking in and checking out. We enjoyed the hot tub and the view from the back porch. We would definitely stay again!

We’re very thankful you stayed with us in Lil Red. The view from the hot tub is our favorite thing. We really hope to see you again in the future. You were a wonderful guest to host.
My finance and I had a great time staying here! The cabin was easy to access and our host was communicative and made sure the whole check in/check out process was as easy as can be. This is a great place for two people to get away for a bit.

Shea-so glad you found the cabin easy to get to and a great place for you both to get away to. We appreciate you taking such great care of Lil Red and look forward to hosting you again!
The hosts thought of all the little things to make for a nice stay. If you’re looking for seclusion this is a great place to stay. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour to get to the gorge activities so prepare for that.

Absolutely loved this place! Holly was way to reach with any issues that we had or with getting to the property. Very quiet area. We were lucky enough to have had beautiful weather for hiking and stargazing. Wonderful place to unplug :)
Wonderful little cabin, a cozy place to get away. Very clean, the kitchen has everything we needed, comfortable bed, and the hot tub comes with a great view. The porch on the back really makes the cabin feel twice its size.
Our host sent helpful info ahead of time on places to eat and things to see.

Stayed for 3 nights. Cabin was outstanding and better than expected. Back porch is great! Overall couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend.

Hi Cole! So glad your stay was outstanding and you loved the back porch! We look forward to hosting you again in the future at Lil Red!
We enjoyed our little getaway together. Very relaxing and peaceful! We weren’t able to explore as much as we wanted to due to the rain/flooding. The cabin was super cozy and cute! Enjoyed the little trail that was walking distance from our cabin. Also enjoyed Broke Leg Falls. We even had a picnic lunch at the falls. This area of Kentucky is absolutely beautiful! Would recommend this place to anyone who might be staying in the area.

We loved hosting you both! You really made the best of your stay during a historic rain storm. So glad you could drive right up to the covered porch as you went in and out. Glad you found the cabin super cozy and cute! Fun that you were able to enjoy the local trail and great idea about the picnic near Broke Leg waterfalls too! We are excited to have you back at Lil Red!
We enjoyed our stay very much - from the hot tub, to relaxing on the porch and enjoying the view (even in the dreary weather), to cooking in the fully equipped kitchen. The cabin had everything we needed to relax for a few days. The weather was not in our favor so we weren’t able to take advantage of the fire pit/grill. Next time.

About the host
Hosted by Holly
Our family loves to travel and have stayed in places in Kentucky and around the world. I always notice great customer service and try to provide that same great customer interaction wherever I go. I am adventurous and love to research local areas. I can get your "go to" for special weekend plans. We want "Lil Red" to be a special get away that you long to return to when you plan a weekend get away or long-term stay.
Why they chose this property
As frequent travelers to Red River Gorge know, the Indian Creek Resort area is highly sought after and known as a place for relaxation and beautiful views. It's close enough to the Gorge to make the trip easy, but just the right distance for peace and quiet in the morning and evening.
What makes this property unique
We chose Lil Red because it is one of those places that has a great cozy feel and amazing hot tub on the oversized 500-sf/ft covered porch. There are two sliding glass doors, one from the bedroom and one from the kitchen. The fire pit is brand-new and has two Adirondack chairs to enjoy the fire and roast marshmallows. When guests stay who have a background in construction, they are always amazed at how well the cabin is built. It was built with simplicity and ease in mind. If you're looking for a quiet cabin to get away from it all, and reconnect with each other and nature, Lil' Red stands out above others in the area.
