Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Host and property were both wonderful! Unfortunately we were only there overnight, but would absolutely come back to the area just to spend more time at the property. Clear directions, great amenities, and the host was kind and responsive. Stunning views and lots more to offer. Would highly recommend this stay!

3 nights at The Harrican Lakehouse

Amazing stay! Bridgett was a wonderful host! We especially enjoyed the wrap-around covered deck and outdoor sectional seating. The kids really had a blast fishing from the dock, and loved the kayaks. Would highly recommend for those looking for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with our family!

7 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

We camped here for two weeks and were sad to leave. Jessa and Nathan made us feel very at home, tucked away in this precious holler. We enjoyed the silence of the night, the fog in the morning, the creek near our campsite, and the incredible hike right on property. We stayed in our 30 foot converted school bus in one of their RV back in sites. We were able to park quite easily, and there was plenty of space to maneuver the bus into the spot. The sites were level with gravel. The creek was actually quite warm to swim in. Our starlink internet worked well! Nathan and Jessa were friendly and quick to respond to any of our messages through Hipcamp. They were happy to share any cool things about the property or the town of Berea. They were respectful of our privacy and also made great company while using the kitchen in the community space. We had a fun time in the moments connecting with them over their garden and chickens. We certainly intend to be back. We really liked the community aspect of their property, encouraging people to connect. We also liked that they had their own products for sale at a reasonable price. We enjoyed everything from their eggs, asparagus, to things like apple butter and fresh garlic powder; all from their own land. We appreciated their complementary springwater. Their generosity and kind hearts truly made this beautiful holler a gem you are going to want to visit. Thank you for such a great experience. We hope to cross paths again!

Weekend Trip to The Harrican Lakehouse

This was my second visit, and I was planning my third before even leaving! We absolutely love this spot! Plenty of privacy, it’s romantic but could also be kid friendly if needed. The house is decorated so nicely! The a/c works amazing!

2 nights at Boone Valley Campground

We went in late April. We were the only occupants. We had the pick of the lot so we had a chance to check out every option. There were options close together and spots that seemed isolated. Every spot offers something for every camper.

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Fun little campground with a rustic and eclectic vibe. We stayed in the fort room which was cozy and comfy. Clean bathrooms with hot showers!

Weekend Trip to The Harrican Lakehouse

Beautiful property and great hosts. Outhouse was clean and comfortable. Great location close to ton of hiking and adventuring options. Also, the pinball arcade in Corbin is close by and worth a visit. Look forward to staying again soon!

Weekend Trip to Boone Valley Campground

Very nice clean campground. It had rained a lot before we got there and it was still wonderful. There were no other campers there as I believe this is somewhat off season. They have bands there on weekends during season. I will be staying there if I go back to red river again. Host is fantastic. You won't regret your choice. Oh yeah, the bathroom facilities for primitive camping.. VERY NICE. Flush toilets and I came in at around 2am with 0 problems. Host did come down to check on us in the morning and was around during departure.

2 nights at The Harrican Lakehouse

Bridgett's Lakehouse was amazing! We loved everything about it. We were able to hike, find a water fall, enjoy some campfires, fish, and plenty of family time. The lakehouse was very cozy and perfect for our family of four (plus our dog). My kids definitely didn't want to leave after 2 days there. Would highly recommend visiting! Hopefully we'll be able to return in the summer sometime when we can go swim in the lake!

Weekend Trip to Nicura Ranch

Laura & Nick were so so so kind and welcoming and we loved staying here! The space was clean, we got to meet all the animals and they had great amenities. We will definitely be back 💗

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

It was a pleasure to meet Jessa and her husband. Thanks for.sheltering us in a storm. I love your place!

1 night at Punkin Hollow Resort

I had a great time visiting on a solo trip with my dog! Everything was clean and enjoyable, and the creeks are pretty to walk along. If you're visiting in March/April, make sure to look at upcoming weather for potential storms. We got caught in an overnight thunderstorm, which made the creek water rise and was not passable for my low car (Ford Fusion Hybrid). We ended up having to stay an extra night, but it all worked out well! The host was understanding, a fellow camper shared their food, and Jon was responsive and super helpful! We would definitely visit again.

1 night at Possum Ridge Ranch

Very nice camping area and bath house. Excellent view of sunset and stars in highest camping area.

1 night at The Harrican Lakehouse

Cabins in Red River Gorge guide

Overview

Tucked in Eastern Kentucky's Daniel Boone National Forest, near Campton and Slade an hour outside Lexington, the Red River Gorge (RRG) is a popular getaway for families, couples, and large groups alike. Red River Gorge cabin rentals range from treehouses to multi-bedroom luxury cabins perfect for family reunions. Many area vacation rentals are pet-friendly and come with perks such as air-conditioning, wifi, pool tables, hot tubs, and fire pits. The area is full of things to see and do during a weekend getaway, from kayaking and exploring area hiking trails to challenging yourself to rock climbing or a zipline course. The sandstone arches of Natural Bridge State Park are just next door and the Muir Valley Nature Preserve, popular with rock climbers, is just a short drive away. Make sure to pay a visit to the nearby Nada Tunnel, an eerie 900-foot expanse created at the turn of the 20th century as a railway tunnel.
