About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Under 1 mile from Natural Bridge State Park!

This adorable cabin is for small to medium groups and has all the amenities of a big cabin. It's cutely furnished and decorated. After a day hiking and exploring, sit on the deck and enjoy the view. One well-trained pet is allowed with payment of pet fee.

Major amenities include: Two Satellite Flat Screen TVs, Wi-Fi, Game Room, Slate Pool Table, outside decks and balcony, Two Charcoal Grills, and a 5-person hot tub.

This cabin is 2 stories. The upstairs Main Living Room has Brand New Leather Sofas, a 46'' Flat Screen Satellite TV with inputs for game console, computer, etc. Kitchen and dining table join the main living room. Two private bedrooms each with a Queen Bed. One bedroom has a private balcony for taking in the fresh mountain air. Both share one full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

The downstairs Game Room has a Slate Pool Table, Flat screen Satellite TV, and large windows to take in the scenery while staying cozy and shooting pool. The Game Room also has a queen bed and has an adjacent full bathroom. Please be considerate of our pool table by never setting drink glasses down on it, using it for dining or beer pong, or attempting to move it so everyone can enjoy it.

Outside is a large Deck built around trees providing unique natural shade, two Charcoal Grills, Fire pit, and Covered Porch are on the Main Level for those drizzly days.

This cabin sits in vicinity of Grizzly Cabin and the Black Bear Lodge. Great opportunities for family reunions or large group activities if more than one cabin is desired.

Phone signal is spotty in the area Bear Cub is located, so plan accordingly if coordinating with members of your group. Usually a short walk outside of the house or towards the end of the driveway is enough to get connected.

FIREPLACE IS decorative only.

Nice family trip

I guess we expected a bit more secluded, but it still a nice quiet area. We did not notice when booking that it doesn't have wifi, which actually turned out to be nice. All in all, it was a nice property. Don't expect a 5 star hotel, but it was great for us being on a budget.

Wonderful place!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The cabin was clean and well equipped. Excellent location! Close to Miguel’s Pizza which was excellent! Princess Arch and Chimney Top are the easiest out and back hikes with spectacular views. Our only complaint is that the pictures showed a fooseball table in the living room (which, granted, would have made it feel quite crowded as well as being loud… still, we booked partly for that) and it was gone. There was, however, a brand new hot tub which was fabulous!

Love bear cub!

Love this cabin and the ease of booking and check in. Don't usually review but wanted to give a shout out to whoever built the deck AROUND the existing trees. Most would cut the trees out of the way, but they worked around the trees and cut a hole in the deck for the trees to grow through. Would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the gorge and will definitely return.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Location
We recently stayed at this cabin near Red River Gorge, June 2026, and the location is truly the standout feature — a full 5 stars. It’s close to everything in Slade and makes getting to hikes and activities incredibly easy.The cabin itself was clean overall (4 stars), though we did notice mold in the downstairs shower. Comfort was fine, and the listing was accurate in noting that it’s a no‑frills stay — limited towels and no extra toiletries provided. The hot tub was a great way to end the day, and the property has a lot of potential to become a fantastic 5‑star cabin with just a bit of TLC.Where the stay fell short was communication (1 star). We had no internet service, and while normally that wouldn’t be a major issue, I had a loved one in the hospital and needed reliable connectivity. I drove into town for reception and I called during office hours when we arrived and never received a call back. I later stopped by the office and spoke with a staff member who was clearly overwhelmed and unable to help. Maintenance wasn’t available, and the staff member couldn’t even tell us where the modem was so we could try resetting it ourselves.If you’re looking for a great location for exploring Red River Gorge, this cabin absolutely delivers. But at this point, it’s the location doing all the heavy lifting.

Location of property was great. Close to attractions & hiking trails in the area. If you are planning to cook meals onsite may want to bring your own pots & pans. There were 2 12 inch fry pans & 1 sauce pan, & 1 glass cake pan. Not really enough to cook a full meal. Oven was dirty. Owner was notified of oven condition upon check out. If not going to be cooking won't be a problem. Did not use hot tub so cannot speak to it.
