Very nice stay
It was so cute and cozy. Will definitely be coming back. I loved that they provided a small box fan since i always sleep with white noise. Everything was clean, and working, and best of all-you felt safe. The only thing i must say is the beds are on the firm side, but thats a preference thing so still 5 stars from me👍 OH YEAH, there boone dinner has really nice workers and fast service. Loved it all!!

Watch out for unauthorized credit charges
When I got to the hotel to check in I was handed a key. I asked about when I pay and they said we charged your credit card 2 hours ago. I did not authorize this charge. The reservation said pay at hotel. I was not giving a receipt and there was no internet service anywhere in the area and no Wi-Fi at the hotel so I could not even see what they charged me. When we got into the room overall it was clean, but there was used towels and washcloth left hanging on the hook in the bathroom. The bed and the pillows were quite uncomfortable.

4/10 Fair

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.

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.

First of all the room smelled… like cedar, the very thing the walls are made of. You can’t do anything to remove the walls?! We also had a bug in our room. Yikes. I would have expected that surely you’d rid the entire forest of them for your rooms, or at least have someone on standby should one sneak in. Quite unacceptable. The cell phone service was extremely spotty and you offered no WiFi. But it’s the middle of nowhere, do better! I had to actually spend quality time with my boyfriend… Really the worst part of our weekend getaway. Now aside from all those ridiculous sounding things. Truly we absolutely LOVED our stay here. It was perfect and cozy and all around wonderful. I wish we could have spent more than one night. We were so relaxed. I would choose a lodge like this over a run of the mill hotel any day. Even the giant male mosquito made for a highly entertaining 10 minutes as we tried to wrangle it. The BBQ spot directly across the street was delicious with the sweetest staff. As well as the Daniel Boone Coffee Shoppe, the outside patio made for a lovely enjoyable breakfast.
