--THE CABIN --

Bedroom 1 Downstairs: California King Bed | Upstairs Loft: 2 Queen Beds

This 850 square foot cabin, built and completed in November 2020, is gorgeous inside and out. All beds are memory foam so you will have a great nights sleep. Cookout on the provided grill and enjoy outdoor dining in a variety of locations, including the partially covered back porch. Relax in the brand new jacuzzi tub by Nordic.

If you prefer to cook inside the new kitchen is complete with soapstone countertops, brand new appliances, including a full size range/convection oven, and microwave. The dishwasher will have you relaxing after dinner instead of washing dishes.

A unique feature we call the grotto is a large extended ledge below the cabin with a cave. The grotto is accessible by stairs and provides a stunning view of the valley. Relax on the swing while enjoying the spectacular view and listening to the waterfall located next to the grotto. Gather around the grotto fire pit on those cool evenings... time for s'mores!

With acres to roam and a view of Hatton Hollow waterfall you will never want to leave.

-- THE AREA --

The famous Nada Tunnel, or Gateway to the Gorge, is just 20 minutes away from this property, be sure to head that way for countless hiking trails, rock climbing, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, sight-seeing, bird-watching and numerous opportunities for photography! Also close by is the Red River Gorge Scenic Byway - be sure to check it out!

Drive through to see the Red River, countless varieties of trees, flowers, plants, and outcroppings of rocks – or stop to hike or catch sight of deer, turkeys, and other wildlife. For a memorable experience, hike to the famous swinging bridge over the Red River, located upriver from the Jump Rock and Swimming Hole.

Natural Bridge State Resort Park is only 10 minutes away and features the Natural Bridge, a million-years-old sandstone arch, which is accessible by hiking up and down the huge mountain or by taking a slow, easy ride on the sky lift. For water activities, like fishing, kayaking, canoeing and stand up paddleboarding, make your way to nearby Mill Creek Lake.

See the mountains from a whole new perspective when you go zip lining over the treetops for a challenging thrill in Cliffview, or drive through the Gorge to the family-friendly zip line spot in Frenchburg, where everyone from kids to grandpa can have a ball!

If you're looking for even more thrills, visit Southeast Mountain Guides for world-famous rock climbing and rappelling! Both offer lessons and guided climbs.

Kids will love the Kentucky Reptile Zoo which offers in-person venom extractions. Stop by Thrillsville to go kayaking through the 100-year-old limestone cave and putt-putt golf that kids and even the grandparents will enjoy.

If you love horseback riding, Whispering Valley Riding Trails is just minutes away in Beattyville - where you will see waterfalls, ponds and rock outcroppings as you ride under the canopy of trees. The views are sure to be amazing!
