very well put together place the road there can be a little rough but so worth the drive

Very peaceful setting and great spot in relation to a lot of hiking in Red River Gorge!

My family and I had a wonderful time relaxing and reconnecting at this cozy cabin in the mountains! It is close enough to all the features at Red River Gorge, yet well off of the beaten path. The host, Patrick was very responsive and even helped us book an additional night. We truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to anyone.

We really enjoyed our stay at Knotty by Nature. The view was beautiful..... sunrise and sunset. Off the beaten path. I wish the trails on the property were marked. A few things were not 100% but we would still stay here again!
