The One-Of-A-Kind Red River Gorge In Kentucky Is Absolutely Heaven On Earth
“Heaven must be a Kentucky kind of place.” Daniel Boone, the Bluegrass State’s favorite founding father, said this, and we wholeheartedly agree. While the state is home to more wonders than we could possibly list, today we’re celebrating one of Kentucky’s crown jewels: Red River Gorge. Located within Daniel Boone National Forest, Red River Gorge is the Holy Grail of outdoor recreation and adventure; the ultimate Kentucky day trip and bucket-list-worthy adventure. Allow us to wax poetic on this one-of-a-kind place, a Kentucky kind of place that’s pure heaven on earth.
The General’s Cabin
A 70 mile drive from Lexington, eight miles from Natural Bridge, sits a cabin with a rich history of a man who left poverty behind to become an American hero.
The General’s Cabin as it’s called is in Lee County near the town of Beattyville. You can’t see the cabin from a two-lane, winding mountain road.
There’s a wood sign on a post partially covered in vines that has a white star and the words, “The General’s Cabin.”

Natural Bridge ky. Cabin -pet friendly
“The General’s Cabin is rich in history, craftsmanship, natural beauty, and seclusion. My husband and I enjoyed the time at the cabin–the hikes, the front porch, star gazing, and the tranquility of the pond. We also enjoyed how close the cabin was to the Red River Gorge. We spent hours at the Gorge hiking and seeing the natural wonders there, only to retreat to our own natural wonders at The General’s Cabin. We will be returning year after year!”
Our Natural Bridge Kentucky Cabin is Remote, Peaceful and Inspirational
“I spent a week at The General’s Cabin drafting my first-ever novel. This was the first time–but not the last–that I have spent a week by myself in a remote setting. Any anxiety I might have had quickly dissipated upon talking to Joy when I made my reservation and I was further comforted when she called to check on me and assure me that I could contact her quickly and easily if I had concerns or questions.”
Experience a ``life well-lived`` by taking a few steps in General Little's shoes
“History buffs will, and should, read the short biography stationed at the desk in the main room. As one of my buddies said about half way through, “Wow, this guy was the real deal.” You might book The General’s Cabin with the idea that you’ll have a great place to stay while you’re exploring the nearby Red River Gorge; on the other hand, you might conclude that you can hike any time and you’d rather stay at the cabin to fully absorb its charm. I enthusiastically recommend it as a perennial destination.”
