Located in the northern section of the Gorge, this cabin is close to several iconic spots, including Gray’s Arch, Sky Bridge, and the famed Nada Tunnel—a historic, one-lane tunnel blasted through solid rock in the early 1900s.

This part of Red River Gorge is rich in biodiversity, dramatic cliffs, and scenic vistas, making it a top destination for hikers, photographers, and nature lovers.

The cabin was cozy. The hot tub was a great respite! The access was convenient to the parkway and state highways. The proximity of neighbors detracted some from the privacy we desired, but not too much. The absence of wifi caused me to learn how to set up a mobile hotspot! The access to the loft, specifically the low ceiling at the top of the ladder proved a little difficult for two 70 year olds.
