Traverse up the loft ladder steps to find a secluded queen bed with unbelievable views! The real treasure of this cabin is fully immersing yourself in the forest, while enjoying the covered deck with someone you love.

The gorgeous bathrooms are a short walk (about 100 ft) from the cabin and contain a sink, toilet and custom tile shower. Each one is specifically assigned to each cabin and has a keypad entry.

Amazing Place

It was very close to The Red River Gorge and just neat! Everything was very high quality from the showers, amenities like the hot tub, cold plunge and the sauna to the cabins. It was very pretty and quiet.
