Cabins of Quiet Waters at Natural Bridge - Slade, Kentucky

David

I stayed at the Chalet cabin for 3 nights. The cabin was comfortable and had all of the necessary accommodations. This is actually a complex of cabins connected by stairs and walkways, so privacy is somewhat limited just so you know what to expect. This is pretty common for the area. The cabins are in a great location and just a short drive from Natural Bridge and several hiking trails in Red River Gorge. Definitely recommend this as a comfortable and convenient place to spend a few days.

When planning a stay at this cabin keep in mind it is connected to the other cabins and privacy is a issue. Remember to pack light as you will be carrying your belongings up 4 flights of stairs that are relatively steep. Once getting to the butterfly cabin you will notice a nice view from your balcony of weeds and a cemetery. The table once inside should be used with caution as it is quite uneven and the legs fall off at random leaving you to wear your meal. Then when you go to shower the doors are not caulked down so there will be a river for you to clean up but not until you go to take your towel off the towel bar and the towel bar hits the floor. Towels are as well very faded and frayed at edges. Careful when lying down at night as well since your bed is on wheels. The multiple families of spiders within the cabin were nice also. Please don't forget to wash your dishes kept under the sink as if you don't they WILL be left dirty for the people that follow you!! Quiet Water is a little misleading as well since unless you are staying at the nearby campground there is no water.
Natural Bridge area is very nice and we will come back but in our camper next time. Compared to other cabins we have stayed in this cabin was a huge disappointment for our anniversary get away.

The cabin does make you feel the nature vibes. The clear skies and the calming forest sounds at night are worth experiencing. However it would be nice to have the option of an entertainment system...like a big screen for some family movie time......but that is something we can always substitute with something different. It would have been nice if they provided basic bath products....that was something we dint prepare for...so had to head to town and get them. So far so good!

When looking for a cabin last minute I found this but the reviews were very negative. I'm not much for writing reviews but thought I should post something. I did find more accurate reviews on flip key and Air B&B

This place is what I've come to expect from what I call "owner maintained" places. It needs some cosmetic repairs but is clean, quiet, and the bed is comfortable.

One thing that others complain about that I do want to make clear. This is a collection of about 5 cabins. There are stairs and decking connecting all of them together. So if you want complete solitude, this is not the place. It was fully booked when I was there, and I had no issues with people. Hardly saw anyone actually.

So if you want perfection, go somewhere else. If I want a relaxing place in the trees for a few days while checking out the Red River Gorge area this is a good choice.

The Bird’s Nest Cabin: The five minute walk is up some trail steps. It’s about forty feet above the parking lot. You’re so high up that you can explore the area behind this cabin without disturbing anyone. At the time of this posting, the cable was out, but we had WiFi access. I recommend using a VPN. You can still hear the road from way up here. There’s a fire pit & a grill on site. The appliances worked fine. One electric stovetop, coffee maker, microwave, & a good sized fridge. The AC barely kept up. The bathroom is tight but functional. Be prepared to hear some plumbing sounds now & then. Don’t forget to bring extra pillows if you like that. This queen sized bed only comes with two. If you’re a couple above 5’5”, the low roof pitch makes the left side of the bed difficult to walk around. There are plenty of trees around that you can barely make out the road below. I hope this helps.

Great place to rent in the less busier tourist times of the year. Close to all things outdoors. So what if there's no cell service or the TV/DVD player doesn't work? Who comes to a national forest to stare at screens when they are there? Get your groceries before you come into Slade and plan to spend the next few days away from much of civilization.

Best can be said: Rumford Cabin was furnished well and spacious. HOWEVER, view from balcony is basketball goal, parking lot, then trees. Propane grill was very dirty, as was the spa. Plumbing in bathroom sink was "plastic" I think and very loose. The shower head was just a stream of water and the pipe to it was loose in the wall and turned easily. I could have unscrewed it if I want more of a flood. Wife did not like 1/2 bath for makeup, claustrophobia makes it's appearance. A full flight of stairs to get to room. Key in small lockbox outside door. Small quaint Watkins cemetery outside other window, if you like that, window out back of other cabins. TV and DVD player were very hard to combine/uncombine for viewing. Did not watch movie we brought first night for that reason. Second night, after movie could not get back to TV. Cannot call rental desk because cell not work here. Could not log in to internet because could not call to ask. No phone in room. Stuck. Did not stay 3rd night even though $60 reduced rate was available. We mostly did not use room during day. It was still not suitable. Window A/C unit in living room only.
