The Red River Gorge is one of Kentucky’s wild and beautiful treasures – it’s a vast system of canyons spanning 29,000 acres within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Red River Gorge is home to sandstone cliffs, rock shelters, waterfalls, and natural bridges and its beckons hikers and nature lovers with it’s wild and rugged beauty.
A special rental home is tucked in the middle of all this wonder: a treehouse with a stargazing deck that offers some truly beautiful views of Kentucky *and* the cosmos! When you check in, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: the comforts of a well-equipped rental home and a connection with the outdoors that you won’t forget.
The home is tucked into some rugged terrain. The driveway is a little steep - actually, it’s a lot steep! If you have a little momentum, your car should make it up without any issues.
What makes the rental special is its connection to the outdoors. There’s a sky gazing deck on top that you can use to gaze at the heavens and watch for shooting stars. There’s also a spacious screened porch where you can enjoy the breeze and the birds without the bugs.
There’s also a custom 15-foot glass garage door that slides open to offer a breathtaking view of towering trees. When it’s open, you won’t forget you are in a treehouse!
If you love hiking and exploring the wilderness, this is the perfect getaway spot. You can walk from the front door to miles of hiking in the national forest. A trailhead is an easy walk away. Many more trails, including the Natural Bridge Trail, are a short drive away.
The treehouse has a few more creature comforts than the treehouse you built as a kid. It has all the comforts of home, including electricity, air conditioning, heat, and a well-equipped kitchen. The home is very clean and feels almost new inside.
There’s no Wi-Fi or television but you won’t miss it – the view of nature is probably all the entertainment you need. Stars headline the show every night – head to the custom stargazing deck to admire a galaxy above!
To see more details of this special home and make a reservation, go to its listing. Book early - the word is out on this stargazing treehouse in Kentucky, and it often fills up. It’s a wonderful home and worth a little advanced planning. If it doesn’t work out to stay at the treehouse, here are some getaway lodges that also offer more than you might expect.
