Backwoods Hideaway
Perfect little cabin for us and our 2 pups. Plenty of outside space to run around and creek explore. My girls loved walking the creek the whole time. Plenty of dry firewood provided (thank you)! The “outhouse” was very clean and we appreciated the provided water for teeth brushing and hand washing. We would come back again for a quiet getaway.

We loved staying here, what a blessing. The hosts are SO kind, and the cabin was clean upon arrival. The land is stunning. The cabin had everything we needed, and after our previously booked stay was cancelled due to wildfire smoke we were so beyond grateful to find it last minute! It was so affordable and the area around is stunning! Highly recommend hiking the trails at red river gorge.

If you're looking to get away, unplugged, reset this is the place. Absolutely beautiful, tucked away in a holler. First thing we all noticed was the thought the host put into our stay. It was put together in a way even the kids wanted to leave it the way we found it. When they say all you need is your favorite pillow or blanket, they mean it. The host was welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Very respectful as far as privacy. Also, more than willing to offer assistance if asked. Sitting next to the fire, listening to the creek flowing, the fireflies, the sounds of the whippoorwill, it all made for a whimsical stay. One which we will plan again.

Cozy and secluded little cabin was a perfect stay for the night while passing through. Heard owls at night and woke up to bird song in the morning. The provided generator was a nice touch, though we didn’t end up using it.

Our second stay! Once during Fall and this time Winter. We hope to visit again in all the seasons because each season has something unique to offer in these beautiful hills. Even in 30 degree weather of December, we arrived to a toasty warm cabin all lit up for us. Once we got settled for bed, we turned off the generator and stayed warm all night. (We did add our sleeping bag on top of the mattress just in case.) There's always firewood to enjoy an outdoor fire, coffee, and games/coloring for kids, lots of woods and creek to explore, and it's so peaceful and private! Cabin and outhouse are super clean! I highly recommend even in the Winter. Tip: if you stay when it's freezing, the shower may not be on- just ask, and I would bring the outdoor hand washing water inside the cabin at night so it's not freezing cold the next morning. We take a portable power bank with us to charge phones so that we don't have to turn on the generator for that. We don't have phone service there, but you don't need it. Unplug! There's wifi you may be able to connect to closer to his driveway or he's the type of host you could knock if you're having a real emergency. There's a restaurant gas station very close by with food and Wifi. The hosts are incredibly kind, fun, friendly people, generous also because with their price, really don't make money on this to justify the work involved. They just like sharing their slice of heaven as a gift! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do and take good care of it!

Great place! So peaceful and quiet. The host provided everything we could need, which was so helpful! I loved that my dog was able to go with us, and he was able to be off-leash! Will be coming back in the future!

The property was secluded and delightful! We loved our time in the cabin and exploring the woods. Bed was comfy and the kids loved loft. Definitely worth the stop on out road trip to Washington DC.

I loved staying here as the cabin was well stocked with cleaning, eating/cooking, first aid, fire starting, coffee/tea, and more types of materials. The complimentary tank of gas for the generator was very helpful for lighting and cooling/heating the cabin. There is a nice front porch with 2 rocking chairs, a table, there’s 2 fire pits, a grill, a patio table with more chairs, complimentary kindling and chopped logs, plenty of trees to hang a hammock from, a bath house, an outdoor shower, and a personal creek. The whole experience was well worth it and enjoyable. Aaron was a very welcoming host as well.

As a person who lives in the city you often times forget what a get away in the woods will do to you and your mental health. I am so happy I booked with Aaron not only was he an amazing host that provided so many amenities, his little cabin in the woods definitely gave us the recharge we needed. It was so quiet and surrounded by the trees we absolutely adored it!

Perfect stop for our trip. Nice to unplug, the bathroom was pleasant, not your typical outside bathroom. Loved the outside “sink” outside the bathroom. The cabin was cozy and we only needed the generator for my espresso machine 🤣even though they provided coffee! The lights around the site were helpful and pretty. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed in the hideaway during our roadtrip and we found it right away. Beautiful location not too far off from the road but definitely feels secluded.

This site is so nice. It's the perfect spot to unwind and relax with your spouse or chill with your family. We were lucky enough to be there on the 4th of July (also my birthday) Aaron was so nice and invited us to his get together and fireworks. We had such a good time, and got to meet some of his family too. They were just as sweet and welcoming as Aaron, the all even made it a point to come tell me happy birthday too. His daughter and her husband were my favorite part of the weekend! She is so sweet and her husband is the same. We didn't really go exploring, as we just wanted a relaxing weekend, not exploring weekend. We did however venture to the little gas station down the road, they have really good food! We really just hung around and did whatever. It was so nice. The cabin is really nice, the host really has thought of everything in there. The bathroom is even outside, which really gave it an added touch of charm. He has completely stocked that place, he has everything a lady would need. The site itself was so beautiful, especially at night. It's really the perfect amount of off grid camping to disconnect, but enough convenience to create an amazing camp site. We will be back for sure!!

Second trip to the property was perfect. It was a lot warmer this weekend but with the canopy of trees and a beautiful breeze, it was far more cool than you'd guess. There's an ac unit if the breeze doesn't cooperate. This remains one of my favorite places to unplug.

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The bed was comfortable and the cabin is very clean. My son loved playing in the creek. We enjoyed the little extras like the chocolate for s’mores and the games. Saw a turkey in the way out!

This spot was remote and secluded but easy to get to. It is surrounded by a beautiful creek and host Aaron thought of everything. This was truly a peaceful escape with the comforts of home but wild enough to feel truly refreshed. My pup Roxy and I cannot wait to be back.

My dog and I had the best trip. Newbie "camper" here. The host was amazing leading up to my trip. Offered several extra accommodations and was very understanding of my being so green with using a generator. I will be rebooking OFTEN. Best place to unplug and unwind. It was all very clean. Hosts have done a great job with this area completely tucked away. You can hear an occasional car but nothing terrible at all. Dollar General is a little over 9 miles, I think. Small gas station is 3 miles. Walmart/Kroger is about 13ish miles away. There's a grill too! If you're looking for a simple woods retreat, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

Absolutely loved my stay at the Backwoods Hideaway! The perfect little spot to getaway! I loved listening to all the sounds of nature, rocking away on the porch encapsulated in a good book, reading by candlelight and listening to the whipporwills and sounds of the creek flowing falling to sleep! Couldn't asked for a better escape to relax and recharge! Thank you Aaron and family for opening up your lovely cabin for all to enjoy!

Such a cool place. So nice to be off-grid to just be in nature. I enjoyed putting my phone down and just hanging out by the creek. Felt like a good brain reset, and cabin was so cozy.

Was a beautiful property tucked back in the foothills of the mountains with a creek rolling by all the time making a beautiful noise. Really enjoyed the snow and building a warm fire outside, going inside the cabin to warm up as needed and bird watching. The bed was amazing. Will definitely be back in the spring/summer. :)

Cozy little cabin surrounded by nature. We camped with our two little ones and two dogs and all fit comfortably inside. Everything was super clean and the amenities provided made our trip comfortable with the convenience of not having to pack all of our gear. It was pretty cold during our stay but we're provided with an abundance of blankets and the little heater run by a generator kept the cabin pretty toasty. We enjoyed exploring the creek that runs just outside the cabin and relaxing around the fire.
