If you like the sound of barking dogs…
We rented Black Bear #1 for 5 nights as part of a couple’s climbing and hiking getaway. This cabin is new and adorable. It is nicely furnished with a very comfortable bed and linens (probably the nicest we’ve ever experienced in a rental cabin). Check in (even on Thanksgiving day) was smooth, with friendly helpful staff. Directions to the office and cabin were accurate, and both were easily accessible by car. WiFi worked great. Nice new appliances, and we appreciated the washer/dryer for our somewhat extended stay. We had an issue with hot water in the shower, and they sent someone promptly to check it out. Agree with another review that a shower caddy would be a helpful addition, as would a cutting board.
The one major complaint we have isn’t about the cabin itself… Contrary to the description, it is NOT secluded. There is a house right next door, which unfortunately includes numerous dogs that bark, howl, and whine all hours of the day and night. That pretty well ruined any sense of seclusion, as well as any hope of sleeping past 4am. We visit the Red River Gorge a couple of times per year and really loved this place and would otherwise return, but the neighbor’s dogs will keep us from coming back.
