Nestled on a cliff overlooking a tranquil lake and the Cowan Fork Gorge within the Red River Gorge, Cliffview Resort is a hidden destination located in a secluded natural setting with plenty of activities to do throughout your stay.

This resort has a rustic feel with modern luxuries, and makes a great home base for going out and exploring all the natural wonders the area has to offer. Go hiking and marvel at some of the stunning sandstone arches that the Red River Gorge is known for.

Head down to the peaceful lake to cast a line.

For the more adventurous folks, they also offer zip lining.

The Lodge at Cliffview Resort has 16 rooms, and sleeps 64 people total.

Most rooms feature two queen size beds, but there are two king bed suites. All rooms have a flat-screen television.

Many of the rooms have sliding screen doors that open to a wrap-around porch with a stunning view.

Head down to the gathering room and eating area to socialize.

The Lodge is popular with large groups looking to all stay in one place, and can be rented out in its entirety for special occasions such as weddings and family reunions. The gathering areas make a great common space for the whole group to socialize.

Speaking of special occasions, the resort also has a 7,000-square foot reception hall.
