A wonderful weekend

We were able to have a very wonderful long Easter weekend with all of our kids. It had enough space for our teenagers to spread out and had plenty for them to do. The place was very clean and cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed a couple hikes in the area. And saw the Cumberland Falls. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Weekend Getaway!

The cabin is located in a great location, tucked inside the hills of Burnside. The cabin was very clean and had all the amenities one could need for a weekend trip. The only reason I gave the review 4 stars is due to the location of the firepit. The path from the cabin to the firepit is on a hillside and there is very little leveled out area around the firepit (for chair placement).

Nice Cabin in remote location

This was a very nice cabin in a peaceful location. We were a family with 3 teenagers and found the accommodations to be very spacious. There were 3 large comfortable beds and each had its own bathroom. We arrived after dark and had a very difficult time figuring out where the cabin was. There are no lights on the roads and no visible indicators of the address. Google maps did not work at all however, Waze did navigate us to the right area (but not the right cabin). The maps provided with the check-in material are too small to be useful. If you are not familiar with the area, do not plan to arrive after dark!

Beautiful Weekend Getaway

The drive up the mountain is worth it! The hot tub was so nice and so we're the views. The beds could be more comfortable but not bad for a weekend stay. It was nice to have dishwasher pods, and dish soap. A couple washer pods would have been nice as well but no big deal just a suggestion! There were plenty of towels, hand towels and wash clothes for us all to use which was very convenient. My family loved it and enjoyed the beautiful view and cabin! We couldn't figure out how to work the fireplace but it might have been our fault 😅 We didn't want to bother to call and have someone come up since we mostly just spent the night there! The office workers were friendly on check in and check out and helped me figure out where the dumpster was. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Guys get away

The property was just what was expected the management team was very responsive before the stay. They called us before hand to tell us the hot tub was not going to be functional for the weekend and offered to switch us cabins or refund the cleaning fee for the hot tub. It was great to be contacted for this but the cabins view was what our group was after all along. We would stay at this property again in the future.

Burnside Reflections

We traveled here from Michigan and stayed one week at The Gathering Place. The basic amenities are provided here and should you need something, the office is manned daily. (We reported no propane for the fireplace and the request was fulfilled.) The cabin affords decent views of the Appalachian foothills; although, there is a cabin across the road from The Gathering Place that obstructs the horizon. The view is still stunning! We were centrally located to visit the Mill Springs Battlefield, Perryville Battlefield, Original KFC in Corbin, and the Castle & Key Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. (We highly recommend a tour at the distillery.) 😉 Note: Use extreme caution when driving the 5-6 miles of twisting roadway to and from the cabin. One afternoon an oncoming vehicle was speeding and clearly had crossed over the center line…we narrowly escaped a head-on collision! Overall, we would recommend a stay at the Cumberland Resort Properties.

Nice home, far from everything, not so great view

The house was great, size was perfect. It was a 30 minute drive to shopping, dining, grocery, etc. which would have been okay if the view was better. We looked out from the deck to the neighbors house. No clear view of mountains.
