There's so much to explore in Kentucky and countless experiences to have right here in our own state. If you love adventure, nature, friendly people, and even a little seclusion, hopefully you've had the chance to visit Red River Gorge. While this naturally beautiful area increases in popularity each year, it remains a wild and wonderful place to relax and reconnect. If you'd like to visit and experience the area for what it truly is and you're looking for a place to stay in Red River Gorge, check out these modern cabins with The Wilds.
If you love being outside in the natural beauty of Kentucky as much as we do, then these comfortable cabins belong on your bucket list. And if you're looking for a place to stay in Red River Gorge, look no further.
The Wilds is a 110-acre property that backs up to the National Forest and provides amazing access to the features this area is known for. Their four modern cabins are tucked into the woods, are rather unassuming on the outside, and keep the rest of the land as it should be - wild and wonderful.
The cabins sleep 8-10 people and while the exteriors are plain, the interiors are simply beautiful. There's a mix of modern, eclectic, and rustic decor with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Untamed nature may be right outside your door, but you'll love the cozy comfort of these cabins.
Each cabin has some sort of entertainment (dart board, shuffleboard, etc.) for those rainy afternoons. The beds are plush and comfortable and every detail will make this a memorable stay.
There are too many cabins popping up around the Gorge to count, but these are extra special. It's obvious that they were created for those who want both rustic and modern while keeping the outdoors as the focus.
The outdoor areas are just as welcoming and these cabins are ideal any time of year. On the Wilds website, linked below, you can also find information on guided hikes, yoga, climbing, and more.
Even though Natural Bridge and the heart of Red River Gorge are only minutes away, you may choose to stay right on the property the entire time. You can hike to this sunset/sunrise point from your front door, explore creeks, and go fishing in one of the ponds.
The Wilds is a great place to stay in Red River Gorge and any of these cabins would make for the ideal getaway spot. Tucked into the trees and with immediate access to the best features of the area, we'd happily spend time at this secluded and welcoming property in Kentucky.
