Cute, quiet easy to access. Great location with good food and drinks nearby. Watch out for the large hole in the driveway where the lane meets the bridge.

I didn't have too high expectations for this property. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice shower. Property is nice right off the main strip. Would definitely stay here.

Would have loved it but there were several dead bugs in the room, the beds were pretty uncomfortable, the heat didn’t seem to work properly and the staff was less than helpful. The limestone mine with kayaking was fun. The ark is close so we visited that.

The only negative thing about this location was that it walls seemed thin. You could hear the people in the other rooms. It would be nice to have ice available as well. We enjoyed our stay. I would stay there again. Thank you tjb

This was an awesome location. The lodge was very clean. The only complaint was no wifi because the location being in the mountains got no signal for our phones. And this is not a complaint but a suggestion of night stands to charge phones on.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Whereas it is a cute motel, there were a couple of disappointing things. The floor of the room was dirty. My wife wore a brand new pair of white socks and they were black within a few minutes. Second, the foam insulation along the door cheapened the otherwise cute ambiance. Third, the smoke detector was missing.. Finally, there was no internet and zero phone service with our carrier—obviously my issue is not the phone service, but since there was no internet then we were unable to communicate with anyone.

We were looking for a place to stay for 1 night on our way to another destination. This was one of the cheaper places to stay, and I'd stay there again. The rooms were small, but clean and quiet. They had a fridge, microwave and coffee machine.

We liked the room, the staff at the Daniel boon gift shop were very friendly and pleasant. One thing that was an eye soar was an old camper and an old ford explorer with flat tires, both took up parking space and not a lot of room to park our motorcycles and trailers. Their were 4 other couples who trailered motorcycles at the sametime. We all we're told someone would be their to let us know where to park, and no one was their. So the next day Monday we were told by the lady that lives their our trailer needed to be move by 7 am Tuesday because the garbage truck will be their at that time. If the camper and the ford explorer were moved,it would have provided better looking/views and parking.

Great weekend getaway
We loved this cabin style motel. We walked across the street to food and a bar and general store. The room has a fridge and microwave and some people were fishing the river right outside the door for bass. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but we would still stay there again. It does have tv with cable, HOT water, and great water pressure. AC worked well. We did not have any cell service at all and there is no wifi, which was great for us for the weekend but may be something to plan for. Definitely go to Walden Lodge and hike Red River Gorge and the Crystal Kayaking at the Gorge Underground was super fun.
