The room was very clean. We slept really well. Was cute like a log cabin room. We were able to walk across the road and get food and listen to some really good music. The location is great close to the highway and there is a very quaint coffee shop breakfast place very close. The parking is great.

The property was just as described. Be careful when pulling in the entrance because the drive was deeply rutted. This is the first time I've ever stayed in a place that did not have ice available. Luckily I was able to drive back down the road to the coffee shop that was still open and buy a couple cups of ice. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Unfortunately Direct TV was not working so we had no entertainment other than listening to the guy upstairs walking around most of the night. I would definitely recommend staying in the upstairs room if they are available. Mainly because if you have no TV as a distraction you'll be listening to the upstairs guests. If you visit bring a cooler so you have ice if you want something cool to drink. If you want a comfy bed and clean bathroom and only need the "bear" necessities this is a good place to visit for a night.

We were a little concerned when we pulled up and saw the truck with two flat tires that had been there for a while and the neglected state of the property. However we were pleasantly surprised with our room. It was clean and perfect for just needing a place to shower and relax after a long day of hiking.

A friend and I embarked on an extended weekend in the Red River Gorge; while the room worked well for the two of us, the weather did not since we were there during the huge deluge. Consequently, we made the decision to leave after one night in case the waters kept rising and we would be unable to return to Michigan. The area was beautiful, and I'd love to return on an albeit much drier time.

4/10

This place was unique, but old and had a stale odor. It still had carpet on the floor. Bathroom was small. No where to sit in the rooms except on the bed. Several of the chairs outside, broke when we sat on them. We stayed here 3 nights, and we wouldn’t have if we would have had somewhere else to go. There was a Sasquatch convention or something going on, so everything was busy. We had booked 2 months before and weren’t aware of that. We were doing the Red River Gorge cave kayaking and Ruby Falls etc., and the motel was very close to the attractions. We assumed that everything was priced that high in the area. It was not what we expected for the money, and even though we didn’t see any live bugs inside, we did clean up several dead ones on arrival.
