Wonderful place to stay with family! The owner, Susan, is gracious in letting the kids interact with all the animals and they just loved learning about all of them. The cabins are cute and well maintained. Definitely worth the adventure!
Nice get-away spot! Cozy little cabin, quiet surroundings. We enjoyed our stay here! Also, it was very appreciated that we could have some of our family out for the day as well!
Susan, the owner was so helpful and responsive. Cozy,cleanly,and comfortable. Listing was just as advertised. Property beautiful. Cacozy, warm and had all necessities.
We had a great stay at Fireglow! The hosts are thoughtful and kind, the cabin was FUN, with too many amazing details, and the river valley was peaceful. We can’t wait to come back, and hopefully spend more time and explore the surrounding Daniel Boone National Forest and property!
We found the little cabin to be very cozy, the host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with as we arrived late at night. Everything was clean and neat.

I had an amazing stay at this cabin! The cleanliness of the rental was impressive, and the secluded and relaxing atmosphere of the area was exactly what I needed. I enjoyed every moment surrounded by nature, and the cabin had all the amenities to make my stay comfortable. The hosts were also absolutely amazing and were quick to reply and were so nice and helpful. A perfect 5-star retreat!
Great communication from the host and the cabin was cute! Every detail was red (ruby) ❤️

Eli! Thank you for the kind words. You were a lovely guest and person and we'd happily have you here again any time. I hope you were able to get some work done while here. Yes, we don't provide wi-fi to the cabins. For our own internet and working online here, we use our phones' hotspots. I was able to build my entire website, uploading and downloading tons of photos, and connecting to out of state DropBox files and shared programs, however we understand hotspots may not have the same capacity as supplied wi-fi. Something for us to consider in 2024! Thanks for the feedback. It's helpful and appreciated! 🥰
I had gotten my husband some concert tickets in Corbin and we were looking for somewhere to stay for a few nights to make a small trip out of it. This was the perfect spot! Every single thing in the cabin is so cute and well thought out. We brought 3 dogs and the owner was more than welcoming, even provided farm fresh eggs from her beautiful hens! We definitely will be back!
Fabulous little cabins with great attention to details. Everything you might need and things you might not think of. Highly recommend this rental for you, your family and friends. Susan and Shawn were fantastic hosts. Friendly, attentive, and very helpful and lots of info on the area. Will definitely stay there again if traveling through the area.
Very clean, new and easy to get to 4 miles from I-75. It was cozy and the kids had a great time. Lots of fireflies to see as the sun set. Host was excellent as well. Sheets and beds were very comfortable. We will definitely stay there again in our travels. She had the neatest interior decorations - for example the fan pull cords had the best designed knobs - a light for the light and a fan for the fan. 5/5 stars!
The owners are in love with animals. They have a dream of adding more animals to their property. It was fun to see there dream coming together. Susan also loves to decorate and her cabins show that talent. We will return to see how the farm has grown.
Thanks, John & Marie
Although it rained the entire time due to Hurricane Helene, our hostess, Susan, did everything she could to make our trip enjoyable, including moving the five of us into a larger cabin. We were so thankful! She also supplied medication to one sister who had mosquito bites, plus, she traveled into town to buy a propane stove and extra lighting as the electricity was out for a time.
The cabins are all decorated beautifully as Susan is an artist. And then there are the animals! My granddaughter loved seeing those, especially.
This is a great place for children to run and play as the grounds are expansive, and no traffic to worry about!
All in all, even with the rain pelting down, it was an extraordinary visit, and oh, so, peaceful!
