Kentucky is for dreamers. When night falls, the skies above the Bluegrass shine bright; and depending on where you are, you might even catch a glimpse of the Milky Way and other constellations. Red River Gorge is an area that needs no introduction; it’s one of the state’s crown jewels, and a bucket-list-must for all Kentucky explorers. But in addition to its above- and below-ground wonders, Red River Gorge is also a place of infinite beauty and possibility; an expansive, extraordinary area for stargazing. And at The Observatory, a treehouse located near Red River Gorge, guests can spend the night stargazing in one of the most extraordinary accommodations — and beautiful regions — in Kentucky.

Located in Daniel Boone National Forest, Red River Gorge is a magical place any time of the year, offering some of the very best outdoor recreation in the country.

And if you've ever daydreamed about staying in this wondrous region, you can.

This is The Observatory, a treehouse cabin located in the heart of the Gorge.

This off-the-grid (and off-the-ground!) arboreal accommodation boasts three separate rooms connected by floating walkways and ships ladders.

The Observatory is part of The Canopy Crew, a dreamy collection of hand-built treehouses in Red River Gorge. Canopy Crew's goal is to make lofty dwellings that fit in seamlessly with their natural surroundings.

To get to this beautiful retreat, you'll take a short hike through the forest, and then climb 200 steps.

Treehouse amenities include a screened-in hammock lounge, functional kitchen, and a Weber charcoal grill.

The glass bedroom is designed for stargazing, and sits 50 feet above the canyon floor.

It looks out over the Red River Valley and has a high-powered telescope, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the infinite celestial sky.

Experience the beauty of the Bluegrass State like never before in this dreamy treehouse cabin. Between the woodland scenery and stellar views, this is an only-in-Kentucky experience you'll never forget!

If you’re into stargazing, you’ll definitely want to head to Land Between The Lakes — this beautiful area boasts some of the darkest skies in Kentucky and is perfect for admiring the stars!
