It is nestled in Daniel Boone National Forest in Menifee County. Recreational activities included miles of trails to hike, rock climbing, boating and fishing in the area as you are near the lake and gorge. These are located off the property.

Our cabin has 2 stories with kitchen, living room, bathroom and laundry closet on the lower level. Kitchen does have a dishwasher and stocked with your basics to prepare your favorite meals. The bathroom has a 36” shower only with extra storage for your personals and stocked with towels and extra washcloths. There is no bathtub. The laundry closet has washer and dryer.

You will find 2 bedrooms upstairs with private balconies. Main bedroom has queen bed with lake views. Loft area has 2 twin beds with no interior door but does exit onto private balcony with cliff views. Due to cabin being an A-frame style, steep stairs are used to access the upstairs.

For outside sitting, you will find a picnic table located near grill with beautiful views of the lake in front and cliffs behind.

This cabin is pet friendly with limit of 2 pets. Select Pets when prompted when booking cabin. Please provide own kennel if pet needs to be left alone in cabin. If you enjoy listening to the sounds of the woods, this is a place you would love to see and visit. Wake up to the abundance of birds singing their songs as you start your day. Come, relax and enjoy what nature has to offer. If you enjoy state parks, our cabin is about an hour northeast from Carter Caves State Park and an hour southeast from Natural Bridge State Park. Take the scenic route through Nada Tunnel to the Red River Gorge. Come to relax or explore. Cherokee Cabin offers you both. Enjoy sunsets? Watch the sun set in the summer from the porch or sofa in living room. Such beautiful, peaceful time of day!

An amazing cabin. We absolutely loved it! We had the best time! Very clean and cozy. Great place to stay if u enjoy hiking. The kids had so much fun making smores, catching frogs and playing the board games that were there. Our four year old learned how to play “slap jack” and is obsessed! The dogs loved exploring outside. The sunrises and sunsets r amazing!

What I liked best was how clean the cabin was. We enjoyed the setting. Sitting on the porch or balcony and looking at nature. Good area for taking walks/hikes. The steps to the bedrooms were a little steep for us (we are a little older). The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked dinner each night and were able to find all the utensils/pans we needed. The fire pit was nice as well. A good supply of wood (but some pieces needed splitting). Overall an excellent place to stay.
