Stepping onto the property of The General's Cabin, I immediately felt a sense of relief and relaxation. One would never think that such a unique and beautiful cabin could be found in the middle of the thickest woods and hollers of eastern Kentucky. Nestled in the Appalachian mountains, The General's Cabin offers a panacea for all of your worldly worries and concerns. The soundtrack of my daily life which consists of consistent questions from my child, the tension built up in my shoulders from driving in morning traffic and the demands of bills, birthday parties and work melt away with a quick walk down to the lake that's located on the property, a nature hike on the path that winds around the farm and a morning coffee taken on the front porch while listening to the wild birds that populate the woods. Highlights: 1. Remote and tucked away from the road. If you're looking for solace and quiet, this is your spot. There's about 40 acres of forest surrounding the cabin so you're afforded plenty of solitude.2. Close to national parks and on the edge of the Daniel Boone Forest. It's a great spot to set up camp if you're headed to do some rock climbing or hiking at the Red River Gorge. 3. Everything you need is in the cabin! The cabin comes stocked with washing machine, dryer and laundry detergent! There's a full-sized fridge and freezer for all of your needs and a stove and range to cook or bake whatever you like. There's a coffee maker and grounds. 4. Good shopping nearby! We picked up groceries from the closest big city, Lexington on the way to the cabin - there's a Whole Foods and a co-op there that you can stock up for food. And there's the fabulous Liquor Barn where we grab baguettes from Bluegrass Bakery and cheeses, cakes and olives and wine galore. If you're ever in need of anything extra, there's a big Kroger in nearby Stanton, so no worries there! There's also an affiliated cabin across the road that provides whole multi course meals in their space, complete with wines, appetizers, main courses and desserts and even a cheese course, if you so prefer! 5. Clean and courteous. The cabin is well-maintained and the interior is comfy and well-appointed. I love the large stone fireplace and the cozy couches and chairs. It's the perfect spot to read through your stack of magazines and for kids to play in nature. The owners, Joy and Mike, left a note and some fresh flowers, which was a welcomed touch! One would expect that a cabin so remote in location would have issues with critters but I was pleasantly surprised at how tight and secure the house seemed when we visited. Despite the abundant wildlife outdoors, none of it made it inside.6. Dogs welcome! We have a medium-sized dog that my child likes to take along on holidays and so we are always looking for accommodations that accept pets, and we were so happy to know that not only were Joy and Mike ok with us bringing our pooch along with us, they were very happy to welcome her! They mentioned that they've had many canine guests in the past and that it's never been an issue, which was a relief because vacation homes and especially ones that are so beautifully decorated often discourage dog owners from bringing dogs. 7. A fun loft space for kids! My son adores the loft space and happily set up camp up there. As soon as we walked through the doors, he spotted that loft and proceeded to climb the ladder, much to our surprise! He had us lug books and toys up there so he could "spy" on us from up there, which kept him entertained for hours. All in all, an amazing spot in the middle of the woods and one that's gorgeous and unique. I've stayed in many cabins that advertise peace and quiet and fail to deliver, but The General's Cabin did through and through. I wish we could stay for longer stretches but we will settle for returning for our annual trip back to Kentucky to visit family for our little get away from the chaos and grind of urban living. Hopefully one day, we will be able to spend a couple of weeks up there and to bring our friends to share in the joy of this corner of heaven.

Wow. this place has it all. I love this place!Our family has been visiting this cabin annually for years. Rustic and wilderness meets comfort and luxury at the end of the The General's Cabin road. We go for the amenities but we enjoy it due to the quiet, beauty, and nature. If you are looking for peace, fun and luxury here you have it all. You don't have to leave the property to get it all but if you want there are hiking trails, waterfalls, bridges and an abundance of other things to see and do in the area.

Wonderful secluded cabin to get away from it all. Clean, cozy, comfortable, and spacious. Huge well stocked kitchen to cook any meal you can imagine. Plenty of acreage to hike and immerse yourself in nature. Quiet, peaceful, I could go on and on. Look forward to returning.

My husband and I could not have been more delighted staying at The General's Cabin. The cabin is located near the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge nestled in the woods down a beautiful country lane. Our stay met our need to "get away from it all". The peacefulness and serenity of the place envelopes you as soon as you arrive. We so enjoyed sitting by the pond and relaxing on the front porch. It's quiet, except for the lovely sounds of the birds, and secluded. The cabin is so charming, clean and so comfortable. We didn't lack for anything. We especially loved all the large windows looking out into the woods. Reading about the history of the cabin and builder, General James W. Little, was fascinating and glad it was made available for guests to read. We highly recommend The General's Cabin and look forward to returning again soon!
