Perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, those seeking a peaceful getaway and anyone with mobility issues. Candlelight Cabin is a great fit for everyone. Just minutes off the Mountain Parkway, Candlelight offers a serene retreat with convenient access to everything the Red River Gorge has to offer. We are a pet friendly cabin, with a paid pet fee.
Our charming cabin features first floor king bedroom with onsuite. Second floor Queen bedroom with a set of bunk beds along with an onsuite.

Reminder that you are in the mountains and are likely to see bugs, mice, and other critters. We do maintain the property with regular pest control, but due to the surroundings, doors being opened and food left out, this can attract critters. Keep in mind we are in the forest (their home) so seeing any sort of critters is expected.

Red River Gorge

Cabin was great. We had 5, 2 adults and 3 'kids' ages 10 to 16. It was comfortable for the 5 of us. Loved the outside table, esp for my coffee. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and the smores. Close enough to the gorge and hiking that you are not driving all day to get to things. Coffee bar was excellent and greatly appreciated. It was a fantastic place and the boys loved the gorge.

Rest and Relaxation

Great place to stay! We loved the outside space as much as the inside. The Hot Tub after a day of hiking was outstanding. We drank coffee and caught up on reading and conversation on the table on the deck outside.

Nice cabin close to the Gorge!

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. It was great for 4 people. The hot tub and deck areas were very nice. We enjoyed the fire pit as well. The cabin is in close proximity to everything "Gorge" related. We enjoyed the glow kayaking, the scenic drive, and several hikes.

Thanksgiving Trip

Our stay at candlelight was wonderful! The space was comfortable and had almost everything we needed. We especially loved the dog friendly accommodations like the leads by the fireplace, the deck gate, and dog bowls in the kitchen. It was very cold this week so the cabin was a little chilly, but plenty of blankets and the fireplace kept us cozy. Happy Thanksgiving!

Honeymoon

We enjoyed being able to bring our dog with us. And with that, even though we thoroughly enjoyed the Gorge & everything it offers, we spent a lot of time at the cabin. It was wonderful to have a home base. When we go back, we will see if this cabin would be available!

15 years later and even better today!

My wife and I stayed at this cabin on our honeymoon 15 years ago. We returned to Candlelight for our anniversary and it was fantastic! The new owners have maintained and improved the cabin so well, and were fantastic hosts. The location is so convenient to everything that Red River Gorge has to offer ands is the perfect retreat after a long day on the trails.

Cozy, relaxing, atmosphere

Les and Michelle are great hosts. Basically all the comforts of home. Perfect for dogs, the deck is completely enclosed. Hot tub is nice. Right close to Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge. Very clean and has no stairs to get into the cabin. Very relaxing and homey. We will be coming back. Russ Hawkins

Winter wonderland

We love visiting the gorge in all seasons. Winter provide beauty in the icicles and snow covered landscape. This was the coldest we had experienced. The cabin walkway was snow and ice covered making it difficult to get gear into the house which we chose due to ease of access. The cabin was very clean and bed linens and towels were new. The kitchen was well stocked with4 days worth of ground coffee plus’s a selection of k-cups. Spices and cooking oil were provided. There were plenty of pots, pans and dishes. The dishwasher worked great as did the washer and dryer. Due to outside temps in the single digits the furnace could not keep up and the electric fireplace was not enough either. Cabin temps were 50 degrees in morning and never got above 60 even with extra space heaters. A downstairs bathrooms faucets froze rendering them useless. Thank goodness the host communications were great and the crew they sent out responded quickly. Overall we had a good stay given the circumstances and would stay again.

Great location with all the amenities

Short drive from Natural Bridge, close to restaurants & remotely tucked away. We’ve stayed before & were very pleased to return to find several upgrades. The jacuzzi, fire pit and Wi-Fi were great! Very clean, well stocked & the hosts were very thoughtful, responsive & accommodating.

Awesome stay!!

Great property! I went there with my husband, sister and her husband. Plenty of space. Loved the fact that the two couches had double recliners so we all had our own recliner to watch TV. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking; we made our breakfasts and dinner on site. Plenty of dishes and cooking utensils. Nice large refrigerator to store food. Pet friendly! We brought our Golden Retriever and we loved the fact that the deck wrapped around the house and had a gate so we could let him on the deck with us and not worry about him running off. Also had tie-outs hooked between trees to let him out on a “dog run” to go potty. Had a nice outside sitting area on the deck with a ceiling fan. We ate out there quite a bit. Also spent time in the hot tub which had good space for four people. Loved the string lighting on the deck; allowed us to sit the hot tub at night with good ambient lighting. We didn’t use the fire pit but it looked great! Cabin had great amenities - plenty of toiletries, cleaning supplies. Very pleased with the stay; would recommend and stay again! Jennifer

Peaceful getaway

This was our fourth trip to Slade . This cabin was perfect! convenient location to all the attractions. Had everything we needed plus they supplied many toiletries so we didnt have to take it all with us. Loved that it was dog friendly. The only issue we had was that it was very hot and the central air could not seem to keep up but we managed.. Was a little disappointing that many of the restaurants are closed on Monday and Tuesday but the Toad Bar n Grill was really good! Wifi is very on again off again but was actually kind of nice to not feel “connected” to our phones and computers. Loved the hot tub after a day of hiking. Will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your cabin
