About this property

Red River Gorge Yurt 1 Stay – Cozy Winter Retreat with Fire Pit & S’mores Kit

Unplug. Unwind. Reconnect. Welcome to The Retreat at High Rock.

Tucked away on 13 private acres in the heart of Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, this cozy yurt (we call it Yurt #1) is your invitation to slow down and breathe again. Designed for comfort and simplicity, the space features a plush queen bed, soft lighting, and a touch of wilderness magic—all just 25 minutes from Natural Bridge State Park. Parking is just steps from your canvas bell yurt-style glamping tent.

Inside, you’ll find everything you need to feel grounded and comfortable: a mini fridge for essentials, a space heater and electric blanket to keep you warm through the winter, and thoughtful touches that make the space feel like your own private hideaway.

Step outside and you’ll find a common space made for stargazing, outdoor games, and lazy afternoons. Gather around the firepit with friends or family, toast marshmallows, and enjoy a complimentary s’mores kit as the night sky opens up above you. Free Wi-Fi is available and strongest in the common-area, though it occasionally drifts with the Appalachian weather—consider it your cue to lean into a little digital detox and reconnect with what’s real.

When it’s time to freshen up, take a short walk to the shared shower lodge, complete with hot water and clean restrooms—rustic in spirit, modern in comfort.

Whether you’re a solo traveler seeking peace, a couple escaping for the weekend, or a family looking for adventure, The Retreat at High Rock is a place to unplug from the noise and rediscover what really matters. Come as you are, and leave restored.
The accommodation is heated and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and a refrigerator. Housekeeping is available on request.

Yurt #1 absolutely blew me away. It was every bit as beautiful and whimsical as the photos promised. Heidi went above and beyond from the moment I booked. She helped me arrange a last minute extra night without any hassle, and even made sure there was a warm fire going and a s’mores kit waiting for me when I arrived late in the evening.The bathhouses was hands down the cleanest I’ve ever seen. And I have stayed at campsites across the whole US. Plenty of hot water, fresh toiletries, and clean washclothes towels. Inside the yurt I had everything I needed, a plug for my electronics, a coffee maker stocked with cream and sugar, and a real comfortable bed. Warm sheets and a space heater kept that low 40s night feeling extra cozy.10/10 would stay again. Heidi was absolutely amazing, and this place is pure magic.
