The Founder - Iconic Rockhouse Cabin!

Summary:

Welcome to The Founder, an iconic hand-built cabin crafted by the founder of the Rockhouse Restaurant. Tucked on private property, this cabin pairs historic character with modern touches—1800s barn beams, a chef’s kitchen, a wood-burning stove, and an expansive wraparound deck. Enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, fast Wi-Fi, and full privacy. PLEASE NOTE: the cabin is reached by a very steep set of steps and is not suitable for guests with mobility limitations.



The Space:

Inside, the main level features an open-concept living area with a real wood-burning stove, plush seating, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with a commercial gas range, quality cookware, luxury knives, and bar seating for four. This floor also includes a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, double vanity, bidet, and washer/dryer. Sleeping options include a queen bedroom, a king bedroom, and a cozy twin bunk room accessible only through the king room. Upstairs, a lofted lounge offers oversized couches and a smart TV for movie nights.



Outdoors, a massive covered deck wraps around the cabin, providing space to grill on the propane BBQ (propane supplied), relax on the outdoor seating, or take in the forest views. The uncovered hot tub sits just off the deck, while the firepit—perfect for stargazing evenings—awaits below (guests provide firewood). This cabin blends history, comfort, and seclusion for an unforgettable Gorge stay.

Great cabin in The Red. Cabin had everything we needed as a home base for our family climbing trip. Awesome location 15 minutes from most south crags (next to Rock House is a huge plus), incredible views, clean and easy check in/check out.

This cabin was awesome! It is private and away from the other cabins nearby which I like. This is the easiest cabin to get to. The climb up the stairs isn’t great but it isn’t terrible either. Nothing to complain about it. I loved this place and will be back!

This is a serene and quiet place to stay. Wonderful cabin. However, note that there is no microwave and the treck up the hill is excruciating.

Had a really lovely low key honey moon here. We absolutely loved the chefs kitchen and the wood burning stove. It has large beautiful windows, the only downside is there is no curtains in the bedrooms. I'm bit of a scaredy cat so that gave me anxiety thinking someone could be watching.

Great location. We were there to rock climb, and this is central to most of the locations. The house does have a musty smell, but it is a cabin in the woods. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. The TV in the sitting area is huge. Loved the porch, sat out there most of the time when we were at the house.

Weekend at the Founder

We enjoyed our stay at the Founder! I loved sitting on the wrap around deck up in the trees. The inside of the cabin was clean, but the cushions, hammocks and grill were pretty dirty.

Red river gorge

We had a great time. The cabin was beautiful! Had a great kichen area and the wrap around porch was wonderful. The steep path to the cabin was hard for us to get back and forth but doable. The location was perfect for all the attractions! Overall we had a great experience!

Beautiful lodge

Wonderful stay for our family of six. Close to all the attractions in red river gorge. Mold issue was fixed by our stay but stove pilot is strong and wouldn’t recommend if you have sensitivity to gas smell. Also, steps to cabin are no joke so pack light and no microwave or toaster so plan meals accordingly! Kitchen otherwise beautiful and has everything you could need to feed 12.

Great cabin near Red River Gorge.

Great cabin, convenient location for RRG. Do be aware that accessing the cabin will be difficult for some. The walk up to the cabin is very long, steep and dark. No issues for most people drawn to have for hiking anyway… but people with any kind of mobility issues will not make it up that hill/steps. The hot tub was “ok”… would prefer one that could get above 99 degrees though. Overall, we would return though.

This is a very cool cabin perched on a nice piece of land. Has quite an impressive vaulted ceiling and loft showcasing some of the old timber framing. With a day or two of maintenance, it could be a five star place. There are no strike plates on any interior doors, so they can't be latched. Missing covers on a couple electrical boxes. And a broken window that's been taped back together. None of these things were prohibitive from enjoying our stay, but definitely should be addressed promptly.

Out of breath

The walk up to the property was very strenuous and dangerous . Two windows were cracked. Shower water pressure was very low. Mold was in one of the bathroom drawers. The house was nice otherwise but would not stay again due to the walk up to the house.

A beautiful place with multiple issues

We were very excited to stay here when we saw the pictures and made our booking. It looked like one of nicest places in the area and looked very sleek with new appliances and updated decor. However, when we arrived it reeked of mold! This was probably our biggest issue with the place next to the main AC/fan not working when we arrived. The bedroom air conditioner leaked water. My husband had to troubleshoot everything. Someone flipped the fuse on the outside a/c unit. Someone had turned the gas off because the pilot lights we’re completely off. The whole shower smelled like sewage. Beautiful cabin but the mold issue was very concerning. This is a health issue and should be addressed. Also for the safety of tenants, I would recommend putting in lights on the walkway to the house. It is very steep and hard to see in the dark.

Beautiful Mountainside Home

Enjoyed our stay despite barely getting to the cabin walking up the path. Its alot steeper than it looks in the pics. Maybe do a zigzag path to make it easier to get up....with luggage. The cabin needs curtains, rugs, a hair dryer and definitely a microwave. The endless hot water ended.....n trickled down to nothing...then came back on cold.....n then warmed up and didnt smell good. There was no rug to step out of the shower on n I actually slipped. Im usually not too critical on my reviews, but I think that your use of "Luxury" made me anticipate more. I'd also recommend a sheet, like the one that is there, that explains how to use the fan/heater and also that the light switch to outside is behind the fridge. On the sheet you coukd recommend what to do, where to eat, how far it is to get to those places. The beds were comfy and the cabin was beautiful. Enjoyed the fire pit but was too cold to hang out on the wrap around porch. You do not have to share this review, but I feel like you'd have happier renters with just a few added things.

Some tlc

The property has so much much beauty to it, but is lacking the attention it once had+deserves. This cabin is marked as the “founders” cabin. The owner of the restaurant below Or old owner. Upon arriving the smell of moisture and mold was powerful but, the beauty of the place was there. arriving we noticed a broken window that had electrical tape holding it together and a broken window in the cooking area. There was water standing in the drawers of the fridge as well. In the child’s room there is a decent hole next to the electrical outlet which is right in the bed area of the bottom bunk… shocking? The child’s room was the room with the most overwhelming smell. I didn’t let my kids sleep in there because I didn’t want to risk them getting sick from mold. Tuesday rolls around and we had some spraying done while hiking. Wednesday the ac in the main area stopped working. Thankfully I brought a fan on vacation and used it to blow out the cold air from the downstairs room so that the kitchen and upstairs wasn’t to hot to handle because that’s the main living area+where my kiddos were sleeping. Informed the property management of the issue and kept things as dry as I could but no one ever showed up. Each sleep was filled with moist bedding. Outside furniture had to be cleaned before it was able to be used and had to sweep after spray. Filled with expensive items that are nice to use. This place has so much potential I hope it gets the tlc it deserves!
