      The hot tub isn’t covered so when the whole weekend rains, there is literally nothing to do and you still are paying for it. There’s pots and pans, but no appliances to cook. There’s not anywhere to eat in town except for one restaurant that opens at 3PM other than an icee place so trying to get breakfast is really difficult with only one option of 19 miles away. Also, there is no grocery store the only option is for meat on the grill but it was so dirty and disgusting.
      The bed wasn’t made upstairs. There were trash bags with labels on them thrown on the furniture
      There was urine on the downstairs bathroom floor from where a male was peeing. The trash cans were still full There was white dog hair and dirt all over the black leather couch I assume from the previous dog.
      The robes for the showers smelled awful and although the shower is beautiful, the water pressure is horrible. There are no extra blankets or pillows. There is no closet or rack to hang up clothes. No firewood for the fire pit. Nothing that I could find to tell me how to hook up to Wi-Fi. There are no pamphlets no directions on where the lights are how to work the fans the fireplace the air conditioners. The outside lights, the hot tub.I was charged $25 for an early check in fee and not refund refunded even after they had to come back out and clean the entire place while I was supposed to be checking in at 2 PM this was already 3 PM. I barely had a chance to get my dogs out of the car and my bags down after a conversation to get it cleaned for my stay that started at 2pm and stay over was informed the dogs would be out loose bc I had to stop all movement for them to clean and finish the laundry & the beds. This is by far more work than I bargained for. The price does not reflect my experience and I am disappointed; I left a day early and came back home.
      Not functional for the price and I needed to reset after having been almost fatally attacked by a patient recently. This has been a disaster.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond. We take guest feedback seriously and want to clarify what actions were taken in response to this stay, as well as address any misinformation for future guests.
      Upon being notified of cleanliness concerns at check-in, we immediately dispatched our housekeeping team to resolve the issue. We appreciate the guest's patience while this was corrected.
      The early check-in fee noted by the guest was not approved on our end, and the hold placed by our Lynx system was automatically reversed.

      Red River Gorge is a rural destination, but there are over a dozen dining options within a 10–20 minute drive, including ******** ****** ****** *** ***** ********** and others. There are also several grocery options nearby: ****** (Stanton), ********** and ****** ******l (Campton), and *** (Beattyville).

      The cabin includes a microwave/air fryer combo, griddle, and 2-burner hot plate, along with pots, pans, and utensils — all listed in the guide provided pre-arrival via email and text. Wi-Fi instructions, appliance info, and local recommendations are part of this digital guide. Printed versions are now being added based on guest feedback.

      Extra items like pillows, blankets, and fresh robes are available upon request at any time during the stay through our 24/7 guest services team. The deck is open-air and the firewood policy is clearly noted in the listing.
      This guest's feedback has already led to improvements, including an updated guest guide and clearer amenity details. While we’re sorry this stay didn’t meet expectations, we acted promptly to resolve reported issues and feel the property was consistent with our advertised listing.

      We remain committed to providing clean, well-equipped accommodations and responsive service to all of our guests.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      well, you say you take them seriously I have requested a phone call from a supervisor since I left on Saturday an entire day early. You then threatened to apply a pet fee because they were uncaged when you guys arrived to finally clean the cabin however they are service animals and your threat was not necessary when the whole reason we had any issues is because your company failed to oblige the early check-in your company failed to have the cabin cleaned by even a normal check in at 4 PM. You have done nothing in the way of customer service on my end. 
      This has been the only communication other than customer service reps attempting to text me without telling me who they are and ask for details of which I responded. Please see all the prior emails of me trying to get some help.  
      Feel free to let me know what you’ve done to oblige all of the inconveniences to a nurse who drove four hours to try to get away after being almost fatally assaulted by a patient. If this is your final response, I feel sorry for you and your business this is horrible.



      Sincerely,



      **** ****

      Rented a cabin from said company for 7/25/24 to 7/28/24
      Total cost $1,044.44
      Two days prior to departure, I was reviewing amenities at cabin and saw newest review from previous customer from 7/15 claiming odor from water and bugs in bathroom.
      I called office and spoke with *****. He claimed to not know of review or issues with cabin. I asked if we could have a refund but was told no. Has to be requested 30 days prior. ***** assured me he would have maintenance ck and repair any issues. Also spoke with ****, the website where listing was purchased through. They advised to go and if there was an issue, to contact ******** and **** as well. After several calls and texts, I finally heard from ***** the day we were supposed to leave for vacation. He said “Maintenance went out there the day you and I talked and he said all was fine, no gnats, and no odor from the bathroom!”. Reluctantly, we packed up and drove the 187 miles from our home to “**********” in Red River Gorge,KY. Upon entrance, everything seemed ok. Noticed a few gnats around the drains in sink and shower. Next, we attempted to wash some skillets in kitchen sink to be prepared for cooking breakfast the next morning, As the water got warmer, the smell began to permeate the whole cabin of rotten eggs. Within a few min, I had a horrible headache and had trouble breathing. I have chronic asthma. We opened the doors and turned on the overhead fan. The smell slightly improved but was very strong. Husband checked bathroom water with same result. At this point, it was 9 pm. We decided to try and sleep overnight and reevaluate in the morning. I woke up at 5 am having difficulty breathing and horrible headache. I woke my husband up and asked could we get our stuff together and leave. We were out by 8 am. I called and left a message and sent text to mgt with no response. (0630 &700am). We asked for a refund for the two nights we could not use and they are refusing.

      To whom it may concern, 

      Prior to her reservation, *** ****** had read a review about a smell being at the cabin. *** ****** checked in on 07/25, with no issues and no contact to our office or **** until 07/26. 

      On 07/26 at 7:20am , a call from *** ******'s number rang for 30 seconds before hanging up. There was no voicemail left. There was one text message sent at 6:47AM, which read the following " *****, we got in about 830 pm last night.   After unpacking the car, we started scoping out the cooking pan options.   We turned on the hot water to the kitchen sink and the smell of sulphur filled the cabin.   Same thing happened when turning on the bathroom shower and sink.   Needless to say, we are leaving this morning.   I would like to be refunded for Friday and Saturday night."

      *** ****** then called back at 12:09pm, in which she was asking for a refund for the nights not stayed. 

      Our policy is to try to resolve an issue for a guest by offering an upgraded cabin at no charge to them. Unfortunately the guests left before we had an opportunity to assist them. Our office hours are 9am to 8pm, with an emergency voicemail option to receive a call back.

      I booked a cabin for August 1 through August 4, 2022. That location was in the Eastern Kentucky where the flooding just occurred and for that reason I did not make the trip. I called the company to cancel and was told the flooding didn’t affect their cabin. I was driving 10 1/2 hours and had to go through washed away roads to get there but that did not bother them because their cabin was still standing. The governor had declared eastern Kentucky a state of emergency houses were washed away people died and they expected me to make it to the cabin. I did not pay the extra money for the insurance for emergencies or inclement weather but I don’t consider this normal inclement weather.

      Thank you for allowing us to respond to this compliant. If you review the documentation that was provided by ******* showing news articles of flooding - the cities mentioned are Hazard, Buckhorn, Onedia, Vicco, Jackson, etc. Most of those cities vary from an hour to an hour and a half away from the property that ******* ***** booked with us. The property they booked, our Creeksong Cabin, is located in Campton KY off of KY 11 where no flooding occurred. Their property was 100% accessible and was completely ready for their arrival on the 1st. We explained in great detail to ******* that the property was accessible and our area was not affected by the flooding that occurred in Eastern Kentucky. In addition to the property being completely accessible, we do also have all of our guests read and sign that they agree to our Guest Rental Agreement. I have attached a copy of the Guest Rental Agreement that was electronically signed. I have also sent a screen shot confirming that the Guest Rental Agreement was electronically signed. We try to be as transparent as possible when it comes to our policy. ******* should have been aware of our cancellation policy since it was electronically signed. We also listed information regarding the Trip Insurance we offer that can be purchased. We understand unexpected emergencies come up and we are happy to offer Trip Insurance so our guests can receive a refund during such events. We hope that we can come to a resolution on this as we would hate to receive a negative review on our business based on following our policy that is transparent to all of our guests that book. Please let us know if you need any further information from us or if there are any questions.

      Hi *******, I am sorry to hear that the campground your daughter booked became flooded. Since the general area did receive heavy rains some areas were affected more than others. We do not manage the campground that your daughter booked, so we cannot comment on any flooding that occurred there. None of our properties or roads leading to our properties were affected by flooding. We were able to accommodate all of our guests reservations as booked. The Creeksong Cabin you reserved is located in a very central area - directly off of the parkway onto KY 11, then right off KY 11. We would never want to put any of our guests in danger. If there was indeed flooding that created unsafe travels to your cabin we would have been more than happy to accommodate a cancellation or a reschedule. We are thankful that none of our properties or guests were affected by the events that occurred. We hope you can understand that for this reason we would not be able to accommodate a refund.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: again I am happy that your cabin did not flood out and I can’t stress enough that I did not want to drive 10 1/2 hours to be stuck with no place to stay because of the weather. I still hope that you reconsider and do the right thing.



      Sincerely,
