The truth about this stay!

I almost hate to tell the truth about this property because it's so beautiful and well appointed that we would like to keep it a secret! The home is comfortable and well equipped with everything you need, the screened in porch is the place to sip your coffee or cocktail and enjoy all the beauty God has created for us. We enjoyed the lake with a boat rental from the marina, drove to Natural Bridge to hike and tried the local spots like the Tasty Freeze and Pop's BBQ. We used the grill and kitchen to cook often as everything was supplied to make that enjoyable. We are very grateful to have made so many memories with our family! We will be back!

"the most epicest place ever"

My nephews had a blast and we created many core memories there! The view was breathtaking! It was about 30 minutes from town- but it was quiet, private, and like I said the view of the lake was unbelievable! Connie was incredibly responsive. The decor and amenities were well thought out and made our stay very special

Weekend Getaway

We came for weekend to relax and chill with our adult sons and their wives and our stay was perfect! The cabin has everything you can possibly need and was immaculate and decorated so nice! The only things we needed were our food & toiletries. We cooked over the fire, played corn hole, played cards and relaxed on the screened in porch! It was just what we needed to decompress and the kids want to come back for a longer time! Would highly recommend, !! Thanks for sharing your cabin with us!
Beautiful view!

Such a Beautiful property

A group of women and I go away for a silent retreat twice a year. This is our 3rd time doing it and our first time at Cave Run Hideaway. I don’t think we will stay anywhere else after our stay here. It is incredibly secluded overlooking cave run lake. So quiet and beautiful. The cabin is so homey and the attention to the decorative detail was wonderful. The beds and pillows were incredible comfortable and the place was stocked with everything needed and so clean! We will DEFINITELY be back.

Perfect for a Peaceful Getaway

We greatly enjoyed our long weekend here. The home was immaculate and had so many thoughtful conveniences that made our stay super comfortable. It was nice having the family put our cell phones down to spend time together playing games & shooting pool. If you want a relaxing time away from the business of modern life, you will not regret choosing this remote, beautiful stay!

This location is special

This is an excellent VRBO spot for those that are looking for a rural get-away. Everything provided is high quality and this is quite a special location that may not have an equal in the area. The skies are decently dark for those looking to get some star gazing in and is conveniently located near the Red River Gorge area. We enjoyed the fire pit, the hot tub, the grill, the pool table, and the dart board. The youngest girl in our group was excited to "cross the bridge" inside the house that connects to one set of bedrooms. A word of caution: the cabin is about 30 minutes away from any real civilization on a winding hill road that contains several hairpins and ought to have way more guard rails than it does. Do not attempt to drive into this location at night having never done it before! Once you know what's in store for you from doing a daytime drive, doing it at night isn't bad but I think it's actually dangerous going into it with no experience. The distance should also be factored in when considering groceries: buy what you need at the beginning of the trip because going down and up the hill is going to take an hour so you don't want to be making many drives for supplies. I'd absolutely do this trip again but I'd spend more time here than I did. Absolutely worth it.

A Slice of Heaven

The cabin was beautiful and met every need. There was plenty of space for the nine who stayed and we wanted for nothing. The accommodations were top tier even down to the bed linens. The views were breathtaking and we were blessed with a small snow shower before leaving. This made trip even more special being from Florida. 10/10 … would stay again.
