We had an amazing stay! Easy check in, beautiful cabin, awesome view, fully stocked kitchen, communication with mangement was always in a timely manner.
We plan on returning next year.
We loved our stay at this property! The house was clean and had everything we needed for a great weekend. We hiked on the trails around the house and enjoyed sitting out at the grotto listening to the hikers and climbers below.
The cabin was absolutely perfect was all the creature comforts we could ever wish for. Incredible view and hiking access directly into Muir Valley climbing.
I booked this as a little birthday celebration getaway with some friends and it was fantastic!! The house was exactly as described and I loved how secluded it was. It was very clean and the beds are sooooo comfy. We spent most of our time outdoors, on the back porch or down in the grotto with the beautiful view. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place in Kentucky.
Cabin with modern amenities. We enjoyed the hot tub on back deck and we used fire pit beside cabin at night. The grotto area was one of a kind and absolutely beautiful (but I would not recommend small children to this area).
Wonderful small cabin for a small group. Only 3 or 4 years old so everything works with wonderful features, great outdoor setup when the weather is nice. Lots of privacy and an awesome view out back of Muir valley
Last minute trip with the kids for hiking! We enjoyed the convenience of a cabin offering a 1 night stay. The grotto was super cool and we grilled our burgers and hot dogs while relaxing after a hike. The loft was perfect for the kids to sleep and there were some games to keep them occupied after we came in for the night. Great cabin!!
This place was immaculate. Better than expected. Unbelievable views, amenities. Trails right off property. Great access to mgmt. Close proximity to local sees. Ownthoughtthoughtof soooo
Stayed 3 nights with our 10yo, she loved the loft area and we had fun checking out the grotto and toasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Cabin was very cozy and clean, close to all the great hikes. However, as a pediatrician I have to say I would have been scared to have young kids in the back area due to the steep dropoff. For older kids and adults this cabin was perfect!
Really nice to be able to walk into the climbing area from the cabin. Wonderful quiet secluded setting. Everything in the house worked well especially the well-equipped kitchen. The google smoke alarms/sensors are a bit weird as they have a swirl of lights when you turn off the room lighting, but once we figured out what they were it was not problem.
This is a lovely, comfortable cabin. Typically, we bring things such as usb port to charge things, dish soap, laundry pods, salt and pepper and all of these small things were already there. Plenty of blankets (we brought those too and used them on the porch. There is a trail head to Muir Valley right on the property which after all of these years of going to RRG we never knew existed. Highly recommended and we will definitely be back.
Thanks so much!
We had a great 3 day stay at Hemlocks over Muir. Location was easy to access (gravel road, but no wild inclines), and quiet. We didn’t spend much time exploring outside the property since it was 90+ degrees, but the views even from the back porch and grotto area were serene. After some sweaty days of hiking in RRG, we especially appreciated the comfortable bed, extremely clean bathroom, and powerful minisplit AC! It was great having a washer and dryer so we arrived home with clean clothes.
FYI for future guests: neighbors on the shared gravel road have small dogs that run out— drive slow!
All around a great base for RRG adventures, as well as a lovely quiet getaway.
This is the first time I can honestly say the pictures don’t do the property justice! The home was clean, adorably decorated inside and out, and had all of the amenities necessary. We were so pleased with everything—from the comfort of the bed to the shower head to the well-appointed kitchen. The deck, side yard, and Grotto are all fantastic places to spend time depending on what you are doing. We enjoyed the beautiful views, the cows on the ridge, and the many deer that visited, as well as the birds. The property was clean and well-stocked! We had a little trouble at the steepest part of the gravel driveway both entering and exiting (FWD crossover vehicle) even in the dry conditions, so heads up there. But once you’re there, you don’t really need to leave! Thanks for the perfect stay!
The house was the perfect size for our group. The kids and adults love the frisbee golf addition. The details of this place are really what sets it apart. The remote-control lights, the blue night light and Bluetooth speakers in the bathroom; the simulated fireplace, the outdoor string lights, the fire pit at the "grotto". The place is expensive, but it really feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Love the fact that the Muir Valley trails are connected to the property. We will definitely return to this one. The only negative is the AC was a little wonky. It didn't seem to respond to temp changes on the remote. I think we had to get right next to the unit for it to work.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at RRG and at the Hemlocks property. We loved the grotto area and hearing the climbers under us. The house was clean with plenty of outside areas to spread out and the loft area was a great hangout for 3-16 year olds. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals at home. The best thing about this cabin was the property managers. There was a plumbing issue at the cabin that delayed our stay by 1 day but they were able to put us in another beautiful cabin for our first night that also accomodated our group. They communicated with us every step of the way and answered all our questions graciously and in a timely manner. This was a great first trip to RRG. We are already planning another trip and hope to stay at Hemlocks Over Muir again
My wife and I were on a vacation/road trip and actually stopped here for three days for my cousin's wedding. Loved this house! Ideal for a couple! Not terribly big, but if it's just the two of you and even some kids, you're good to go!
The pictures don't even do it justice, there's a great fire pit out back that overlooks a gorge. It's incredible! And right outside your front door you have hiking trails, so you don't even have to go anywhere! We had our dogs with us and it was so nice to have a place where they were welcomed and able to explore (but keep an eye on them!).
Most importantly, the hosts are super responsive and available for anything. Always important for us.
There's also so much to do in the area, but I would definitely recommend the Gorge Underground, it was an incredible experience! Just book in advance because the spots fill up quick! Like book now! Also, we did the skylift to Natural Bridge which was great!
Highly recommend this property and area, you won't be disappointed!
We absolutely loved every minute of our time at Hemlocks Over Muir! The cabin was spotless and smelled so nice upon check in and it had everything we needed for a wonderful getaway. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Some helpful tips:
1. We were glad we brought beach towels for the hot tub - the towels there are fine but just smaller shower towels
2. The hiking around the cabin is seriously no joke! I would definitely say it is for the advanced hiker and I wouldn't suggest it to the elderly or those not in decent shape already.
3. There is a family that sells firewood very close to the cabin for $5 a bundle. At the T intersection coming from the cabin you take a right and it's about 1/2 mile down that road on the left. It is a cash honor system.
4. I would suggest bringing everything you need considering shopping is a pretty far drive. There is an IGA about 20 minutes where we were able to get groceries but it is limited if you are used to variety.
5. The Grotto is a beautiful addition to the property but there is only a small rope that separates the area to an extremely sheer cliff. I would suggest extreme caution with children/pets/alcohol.
We found the cabin to be immaculate and definitely plan on returning again! My only very picky suggestion would to add a knife block. The only knives we found were a pairing knife and a small chef knife so if you like to cook I'd suggest bringing your own.
Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Great Location but Lack of Resources
The most disappointing information was the address provided. VRBO gave an address and coordinates to which both were unrecognized by any GPS. We were driving around waiting for host to provide exact address. The location of home was great because it was secluded. However, we stayed for four nights with only one and a half roll of toilet paper, one thin roll of paper towels, absolutely no cleaning products in the home, absolutely no closets or space to put your clothes and bedrooms were very small. The master bedroom has a sliding door onto back porch, but the huge hot tub is immediately in the way of any view! One afternoon, the transformer outside blew up and we were without pawer for a few hours until it was dark. We spent the entire time trying to contact the host and the management office to get this situation resolved. Thank goodness, once the electric department arrived, they fixed the problem in a few minutes. After they left the premises, the tv would not work, so we spent more time getting maintenance out there to fix that problem. We had plans to go out to eat, but of course, that did not happen. Unfortunately, I will avoid using VRBO in the future, because you do not get that personal communication and you are not able to get a lot of details until after you have booked. Basically, you have to settle with what you get, and there is always an average of extra $300 in fees!! Too much money!! I will also add that Heather (host) was very friendly via messages.
We thoroughly enjoy our stay at Hemlocks Over Muir. Check-in was super easy and the views from the back are gorgeous! We could hear and see climbers sometimes that were climbing Muir Valley. We also highly recommend Red Point BBQ just down the street from here, the food was delicious.
