Located near Red River Gorge, Kentucky, this lovely log cabin is in a beautiful wooded setting overlooking a crystal clear spring fed 5 acre lake. Phenomenal lake view!
This large Deerwater Lake 1400 sq. ft. log home is perfect for people wanting to get away in a lakefront location and have access to fishing, canoeing, and swimming. The lake is a great place to fish for Bass and Catfish. The view from this cabin is spectacular! There is a private dock and canoe provided. Bring your own kayak or canoe too.
Feel free to hike around the lake, although the view is so spectacular from the deck you may not want to leave it. It is a beautiful spot in the winter as the lake remains a clear blue-green color year round. All paved roads except for a short, steep, gravel driveway.
This cabin has 3 BR and 3 baths and a pool table. It has central heat/ac, stone gas fireplace, satellite TV (in both the living room and master bedroom), fiber optic Wi-Fi, landline phone, and a kitchen with a dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker and water dispenser, oven/range and ceiling fans. A washer and dryer are available for those reserving long stays. The master bedroom has a king bed, second bedroom has a queen bunk bed and the 3rd bedroom has one queen for a sleeping capacity of 8 people. Located close to Bake's Burrow and Wuthering Heights, it offers opportunities for large group reunions.

We had a great time, the house had everything we needed and more!
We're glad to know you had a good time! We hope to see you again!
Even better than expected! Loved the layout and how it was decorated. Beds were very comfortable. Bedding smelled great. Plenty of hot water, kitchen pots, utensils ect. Grill worked great. Really cant think of how it could have been better. Grateful to Nancy for sharing her place. We also decided not to camp at the last minute and we were approved to stay very quickly. Not sure what else to say. Loved everything about it!
We are so glad you had a wonderful time at our cabin. Thank you for the feedback.
We loved this cabin! We will definitely be staying here again! We could not ask for a more perfect location to trails, restaurants, the Gorge Underground, and rock climbing.
So glad to hear that you enjoyed being in the Gorge and our cabin. I have alerted maintenance of the issue you had and they will check into before our next guest. Come back a stay with us any time!
We enjoyed our time at the cabin, despite rainy weather. Inside of the cabin was nice and clean with beautiful views of the lake. The exterior could use a bit of sprucing up, but just cosmetic. Hot tub was clean, dock and kayak were nice to have access to.
Don't try to go up the very steep driveway just before the cabin - there is a better one just past the cabin. The directions given were clear enough, it's just tempting to go up the first driveway that appears:)
Overall a good stay - we'd come again.
We're happy to know that y'all enjoyed your stay at Forestdale, yes it does offer a beautiful view of the lake! I want to you know that I forwarded your suggestions to our maintenance department. We hope to see you again! Thanks for the feedback!
Nancy’s cabin was absolutely beautiful and gave a sense of calmness and coziness. The only complaints I have are that GPS has a hard time finding the location, the driveway was washed out and very dangerous to pull into, and I just wish there was a lock box on the Cabin that had the key inside, instead of having to drive back and forth to retrieve and return the key. Other than that I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone! We will be coming back!
other then the check in. the family had fun. they loved having privacy. was able to go there favorite hiking spot.
Thank You for choosing to stay with us. I'm sorry you experienced trouble at check-in but that your family had a good time regardless.
The cabin home was lovely. We loved that the home is located in a gated community on a beautiful lake. It is definitely worth the price paid. Thank you so much!
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Forestdale! Thank you for the wonderful feedback and we hope to see you again!
is a great place
Thank you for your feedback. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
We loved the location! Everything was clean and we really enjoyed the cabin during rainy weather. We plan on returning!
Thank you for your feedback. The spring and summer are really nice here. If you love to hike this is the place to be!
I stayed at Nancy’s with four close friends. We booked her cabin because the one we originally chose did not have the full amount of time we wished to stay available. After leaving the first rental (a completely different experience in Stanton KY) Nancy let us check in four hours early to her place. We were immediately wowed by her property—it was so much more beautiful than the photos! Everyone felt regret that we hadn’t stayed at her place for the full five days we were in the area. The kitchen was big and open with quality appliances and ample dishes. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. There was toilet paper and towels! Everything our last rental lacked. The furnishings were comfortable and the space flowed so well. It was much easier to access the park from her place and the pond was serene and beautiful. Everything about our stay was above board and we only wished we had more time there. Thank you for the wonderful experience 😉
We are so happy to hear that you and your group enjoyed your time with us. Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We hope that you come stay with us again!
Nancy, was very polite and respectful. She helped out a lot with the directions and checking into the cabin. Highly recommend her. Top notch hospitality.
Great place. Nice quite pond to look out on with some kayaks to use. Kitchen was well stocked and the house was perfect for what we needed.
Thank you for you feedback, we're happy to know that the cabin was perfect for you! We hope to see you again!
This place was great. Definitely kinda in the middle of nowhere so be ready for little cell phone reception, which might be what your looking for. It does have WIFI so we were able to communicate with that. You will have to follow paper instructions once checked in with the office since your GPS won’t work.. but they are pretty clear and we didn’t have much of an issue finding it. One of our groups came in when it was dark and they had a much harder time… so I would recommend coming in when it’s light out. The driveway is quite steep and one side is rutted out so that wasn’t ideal, but not a big deal. Some more gravel would be nice to fix that other side. I think it was described as on a Lake, definitely more of a pond, but was still nice. Nancy was a great host responsive and helpful. The cabin itself was very nice and allowed us to do all that we wanted to. It was a great place to spend the weekend hanging out in the woods. The brewery (Hops) down the road was also very cool.
Thank you for the feedback!
Wonderful stay! My family and I have vacationed at this cabin for the last few years. We enjoy the surroundings and the beautiful home!
Thank you for the kind words. We are pleased that you chose to stay with us again.
It was really beautiful and peaceful.
Thank You for choosing our cabin for your little getaway. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We very much enjoyed our stay! For 3 couples, this place was very spacious and comfortable. According to the other couples who stay around Red River Gorge often this was one of the most stocked and nicest homes they have stayed in in the area.
Agree with all the comments about the driveway, it is steep! Also the dishwasher could use a deep clean. Overall though, great experience. We are planning to come back in the summer to enjoy the lake 🙂
We are glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again. Thank you for the feedback.
We absolutely LOVED this cabin! The location on the small lake was perfect for our young fishermen, and to jog around in the morning. The hot tub was a must after days of climbing. Our family of 5 had more than enough space. I’m quite picky when it comes to kitchens, and this one had everything we needed to cook big healthy meals. For climbers, this cabin is located close to several awesome crags!
Me and my family had a great time we even added a nite to our stay we will be back
We had a group of 4 adults and 4 children (all 2 and under.) There was lots of space for all of us to spread out and have some privacy while also accommodating our larger group. The kitchen island is massive, lots of space to eat and serve.
Well stocked kitchen has everything you need to cook full meals.
While it's not a secluded area, the cabin is tucked up in the trees so it does feel private. We were happy to see the security gate at entrance with code. A great area for large groups and family. Would love to come back when it's warmer to take advantage of the lake!
Very well equipped kitchen. The driveway was pretty rough even with AWD.
What a beautiful cabin in a beautiful location! We had a lovely stay here and our only wish was that we could have stayed longer!
This property is lovely. My family of seven had an adventurous weekend at the Red River Gorge area. The property is spacious, clean and in a perfect location.
We had a lovely and comfortable stay. The house is very clean and well-appointed. Two things for others to note: the road in the neighborhood is gravel, so know your vehicle and how it works on gravel (not all SUVs are the same). Once vehicle in our group was a four-door Ford sedan, and she said she had a little difficulty but was altogether fine. Secondly, read the directions they give you at check-in! If you're arriving in separate vehicles, better to meet all at the office and head up together. We all experienced spotty cell coverage and it was difficult to get the directions to everybody else due to this. The one of us with the directions had no trouble!
The beds are very comfortable (we all want to know what those super soft sheets are!). The house is very clean and well-appointed in terms of the kitchen, furniture, etc. It is a very easy house to spend time with loved ones in. Forestdale is in a gated neighborhood of similar cabins, which made the experience even better. 10/10 recommend.
My family and I had a great time at this peaceful cabin by the lake! We appreciated the comfortable couches and mattresses as well as the high speed WiFi. There were quite a few bugs surrounding the cabin - but that’s a small price to pay when staying at such a scenic spot.
Great stay. Private, but close to everything. We spent all day fishing and swimming on the lake then cooked a dinner. Lots of pots and pans etc. and a huge island. Very comfortable beds.
Great home
Everything was pretty great. If your car is a little lower than normal the road is pretty thrashed. One driveway is way too steep with loose gravel. There is another driveway that is better but still hard with a regular car because the road is not maintained too well. Just so you know you cannot use the gas fire pit, it's only for owner use. It doesn't really say that in the listing but shows the pit in the pictures. Everything else was great though. The cabin is in pristine condition, hot tub is great.
Great Cabin to stay while checking out what Red River Gorge has to offer! Make sure to bring your floats as the private dock on the lake is great along with the hot tub! Check In process was super easy!
Fun weekend with family! Comfy cabin with a beautiful view. We were very glad to have an AWD vehicle for the gravel road up to the cabin. Definitely check out the underground cave kayak adventure nearby!
I gave this cabin 5 stars due to the beauty and cleanliness of the cabin, the comfortable layout of the space (which was great for our family!), the access to the lake, the gorgeous nature landscape, the hot tub and porch. It was lovely! The only feedback we have is around basic amenities: the cabin asks you to bring extra toilet paper, trash bags, your own towels, coffee filters for the coffee maker they have, etc. - they didn't have enough basic amenities like dish soap, TP, trash bags etc. for an 8 person cabin which is something that could be easily improved and would make the stay more enjoyable. Despite this, we would still recommend this cabin to anyone and would stay here again!
Great!
