Red River Gorge is a bucket-list experience for outdoor enthusiasts around the country, and we're so lucky to call it ours. When visiting this bucket-list-worthy destination, it's only appropriate that your accommodations be bucket-list-worthy, too. And believe us when we say that this unique Airbnb, literally suspended on the side of a cliff in Kentucky, is indeed a place worthy of your Red River Gorge bucket list.

Lauded as the "Grand Canyon of the Kentucky," Red River Gorge is a commanding canyon system along the Red River in the eastern part of the state.

Cliff Dweller is a treehouse Airbnb in the heart of Red River Gorge that puts guests literally in the middle of the region's most spectacular scenic splendor... in the most marvelous of ways.

This multi-level treehouse has a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom on the first floor; beautiful master bedroom on the second floor; and glorious viewing platform on the top floor.

As a result, there are a lot of steps. Hundreds, in fact. In order to reach this Airbnb, you have to journey up several hundred stairs leading to the first floor, second floor, and third floor viewing area.

So while this Airbnb is not accessible for all, for those without mobility restrictions, the steep staircases are part of the marvelous adventure.

Speaking of views, you'll definitely want to call "dibs" on the second-floor bedroom. Windows surround the queen-sized bed, making for the most wondrous wake-up ever!

And, of course, the top viewing platform puts you above the tree line, offering views for days and a place to experience true R&R.
