If you always dreamed of having a treehouse as a kid, then Kentucky is a great place to be. While you still may not have your own elevated hideout in your backyard, there are many places in the Bluegrass State where you can play, relax, and sleep in the trees. Thanks to The Canopy Crew and other creative and talented individuals, you can spend the night in a treehouse in Kentucky, and you actually have your pick of several. We love to share these unique creations and now the newest treehouse in Kentucky is available for rent.

This multi-room escape is perched in the trees, reachable by a set of stairs. Of course, it requires a little more effort than staying in a cabin or hotel, but the experience of sleeping in a treehouse in Kentucky is unmatched.
As its name suggests, The Looking Glass has mirrors on its exterior which reflect the light and scenery of the forest.

This treehouse is particularly magical and would make a great spot for a couple's getaway or for a small family or group to relax and enjoy the quality time together.
When you arrive, you'll climb the staircase through the trees and to the first structure.

There is also a table and seating here, as well as everything you need to cook up a meal. It's truly the best of both worlds to wake up in nature, yet with the comfort of walls and a roof.
As with the other treehouses by Canopy Crew, there are a few whimsical surprises.

Relax in a hammock or spread out on the floor with a large pillow and a good book.

The warmth of the sun and the sound of the Gorge coming to life in the morning will wake you up. But you'll likely want to say in bed longer to fully enjoy this unique experience.
Or, hop out of bed and enjoy your coffee on a bridge or covered porch.

The suspended deck is covered by the bedroom above, so you can relax out here, no matter the weather.
As tempting as it will be to just stay at your treehouse all day, be sure to get out and explore the remarkable sights and trails within Red River Gorge.
