About this property

Quaint, heavily forested cabin, mountain valley view.

This comfortable, nicely decorated 2-BR, 2-BA rustic style cabin sits high on a hill in Slade, KY with a fantastic wooded valley view. Sleeps 4, Each private bedroom has queen size bed. Close to both Natural Bridge State Park and the Red River Gorge, this cabin offers hikers and explorers the perfect place to relax.

Hickory Heights is a modern Cabin for 4 in the heart of Slade. Minutes from Natural Bridge State Park and Daniel Boone National Forest. Close to Red River Gorge Climbing North Region and dining. Two private bedrooms are provided each with flat screen TV's with satellite TV, and a private balcony with seating to enjoy a smoke or take in the fresh mountain air with morning coffee. The main living room has plush lounge seating, a flat screen TV with satellite TV and a DVD player for nightly entertainment. Large picture frame windows look out to the covered deck and serene forested surrounding. A decorative fireplace completes the cozy setting. DVD's are available from our office inside of the Daniel Boone Coffee Shop & Liquor store. The main floor full bath has a walk in shower. The master bedroom on the top floor has an en suite full bathroom with shower stall as well as a jetted whirlpool tub to ease those tired muscles.

Outside, a charcoal grill is provided for grilling out. There is a trail and cliff wall behind this cabin with small cave. Great for those who seek to find a place to hike right outside the back door!

Road to cabin is a steep drive uphill but is easy for 2wd vehicles paved all the way to the paved driveway. The paved driveway has flat parking spots with room for 2 vehicles. There are several flights of steps to this cabin (3 flights or so) but the prize at the end is well worth the effort. Once you get in you won't be disappointed.

The cabin does not offer Wi-Fi at this time.

Electric and water utilities are on city connections.

Fireplace is decorative only.

Satellite TV service is at time weather dependent and trees may interfere temporarily.

A well trained pet is welcome with a pet fee. VRBO doesn't add the pet fee, so an additional $55 will be added to the total for reservations with pets.

Pets may not be left alone at the property unless they are kenneled.

The cabin was just like it said. HOWEVER... the cleanliness was absolutely awful. We are not ones to complain as we visit many places. This particular cabin was bad. I understand cobwebs and dust in a wooded cabin. I also understand its a cabin thar allows pets. So we didnt expect it to be immaculate. What we did expect was clean towels and showers. There were literally medication patches stuck to the shower walls. The towels had stains on them. There was hair stuck to the shower walls we we arrived. Just being honest in hopes it helps. We gave stayed at multiple cabins in the RRG and this was by far the worst experience.

Thanks for the feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the clean space and convenient location. As for the fox—welcome to the Gorge! Nature has a way of reminding us we're in its backyard, we're sorry it kept you awake, but we're glad it didn't keep the rest of your group from getting a good night's sleep. We hope to host you again!

We enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back. Check in and check out was easy and right down the street. Good communication with host. The location of the cabin is great and a quick easy drive up into the mountain. Parking was big enough I could easily turn my Escalade ESV around. There are some stairs gong up from the parking to the front door but we were staying there to hike the area so stairs were not really a problem for us or our dog. Is the cabin new, no, but we thought it was nice especially for the price and views. Cabin had everything we needed and if it didn't there were 2 gas stations right before the entrance to go up to it.

No big tables for cars or bored games, Worth the four stars very well deserved four stars. Overall we had an amazing visits and would definitely recommend especially if your there to experience the red river gorge attractions.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful. The stairs to it takes forever. Loved the view from the balconies. Didn’t like the placement of the firepit. It's a little inconvenient. The fireplace didn't work and that was disappointing. Overall it was a beautiful quiet stay. We were able to get very much needed peaceand quiet. We'd probably would stay again here but still might check out the other cabins.

Has good potential but needs improvements

Great location, decently priced, gatlinburg-type cabin vibe, but upgrades are needed. Lighting was very dim, TV's were too small; housekeeping can do a better job cleaning - crumbs on couches, floors dirty. Front main balcony & furniture was nice but the furniture on the back deck and back outdoor chairs were not suitable to sit on (need to be thrown away or deep cleaning). The bonfire pit was up a steep dirt hill and is hazardous to get to. Some nice rustic touches like the upstairs hand banister was made out of tree branches, which looked cool. I would recommend upgrades in order to book another stay here again though.

Cabin in Slade, KY

First, know that there are 38 steps to reach the door. If you travel with pet crates, pet beds, coolers etc you may be exhausted before you get there.The home was poorly stocked. No paper towels, shampoo, soap etc. There were only a few pots and pans. There were dirty forks in the drawer and the floor was dirty. The bed was uncomfortable. The bedroom drawers were full of their linens leaving no room for us the unpack clothes. We left after one night.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the cabin didn’t meet your expectations. We do want to clarify a few things. The number of steps to the cabin is clearly noted in the listing with the statement: "There are several flights of steps to this cabin (3 flights or so), but the prize at the end is well worth the effort." This helps ensure guests are aware before booking. There are also several photos of the stairs in our listing. As for supplies, the cabin is stocked with the basics listed in our message to guests. That message also includes a “What to Bring” section outlining that guests should bring items such as paper towels, coffee, filters, toiletries, spices, and condiments. We’re sorry to hear about the housekeeping concerns. That’s not up to our standards, and we’ve addressed this with our team to prevent future issues. We appreciate you letting us know and will continue working to improve.

Dirty

Cabin was nice and in a nice spot but it was very dirty. Went down and spoke with the property manager explained how there was a coating of dust over lots of surfaces as well as the ceiling fan blades and cobwebs in slot of the corners. the instructions said not to turn the ac colder than 74 or if would freeze up the condenser and we would be charged for the repair.. but the rains we so dirty they were unusable. The property manager was very nice and said she would have some one clean while we were out for the day. Someone did come and mop which was not the issue but there was still dust over everything and obvious cobwebs in the corners. I paid 575 dollars for a three night stay and that is a special thing for us to be able to do. I was very disappointed as this was my wife’s birthday gift. We still had a good time, hiking around, and the location was nice and close to lots of hiking but for how much we spent I was quite disappointed in the cleanliness of the cabin.

Good Enough

For the cost, I was expecting a nicer cabin than cheaper ones I have rented in the area. The neighborhood and location are great, and the cabin is adorable. But, we didnt receive our check in instructions, so when we arrived and had no internet, it was very difficult to find out that we actually have to go to a coffee shop 2 miles away to check in. We also missed out on the heads up that there are no paper towels, coffee filters, etc. So we were very unprepared for all of that, and made our first night more stressful than the beginning of a vacation should be. Then, we discovered two of the towels left for us were dirty. Not stained, dirty. Had to once again drive to the coffee shop to get clean ones as no extra are provided. The instructions for the fireplace do not help, so it was unusable, which was sad as we were looking forward to it. There were also stains on the sheets, which is quite gross and easy to remedy by replacing the sheets. I also found dried contacts on the bedside table, which were difficult to see but made it obvious that commonly used surfaces weren't clean. I know it is the renters responsibility to clean dishes before leaving, but it should be on the management to check to make sure the dishes are actually clean- they were, for the most part, not clean. In short, we had a nice enough stay, but will be renting from other places in the future as this was pretty disappointing for the cost.

This cabin was your basic cabin. I think that the expectation when staying here is that you are back to nature and probably out exploring it instead of hanging around the cabin. There is nothing fancy in this cabin but it definitely met our needs. There were several televisions with DISH service but we did not even turn them on.I must remind myself going forward to check for the things that are NOT listed because they are just as important as the things that ARE listed. We did not have wifi and at first was a little disappointed…not for long. Didn’t really need it. We had some cellular reception most of the time. The owner/host is not to blame for me not knowing. I, of course, did not read carefully. Wifi was not listed in the amenities. Again, make sure to look for what is NOT listed. (Not the first time I have done that. LOL)I am not sure that it is listed in the description but there are 38 steps to enter the cabin. Overall, we had a pleasant stay and feel that if you are accustomed to rustic conditions, this is a good value.
