"Whole house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with showers (no tubs). Appears to have bben recently refurbed for Air B-n-B type rental. Nicely stocked kitchen with coffee, spices, etc. Combo washer/dryer is a little small for the number of people it sleeps but they work fine and there were laundry supplies provided. Living room furniture looks good but could be a little more comfortable. Convenient to lots of Red River Gorge activities, etc. Stayed 3 nights. Looking at a return trip and will stay...
