Discover The Fern, a cozy retreat nestled on 40+ acres in the heart of Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest. Surrounded by trails, farm animals, and the Gathering Grove play space, this tucked-away cabin offers the perfect balance of rustic simplicity and modern comforts. Just minutes from world-class hiking, climbing, and local dining, The Fern is an intimate escape designed for couples or solo travelers seeking rest, adventure, and a touch of whimsy.

With serene views from two private balconies, a cozy gas fireplace, and a restful loft bedroom, The Fern feels like elevated camping—where glamping meets the charm of Red River Gorge.

Kitchenette + Dining

While The Fern does not have a full stove, it’s thoughtfully equipped with everything you need to prepare simple meals and snacks. Amenities include a microwave, mini fridge and freezer, toaster oven, coffee pot, toaster, griddle, and blender. Outside, enjoy your private charcoal grill for open-air cooking. Gather indoors at the small seating area or take your meals out to the balconies for fresh mountain air and stunning views.

Sleeping Arrangements

Designed to accommodate up to two guests, The Fern is ideal for couples or solo adventurers:

• Loft Bedroom: A queen-size bed tucked beneath wood-paneled ceilings with treetop views.

• Reading Net: A playful net feature in the loft offers a cozy perch for lounging, reading, or daydreaming.

Restroom

The Fern features a surprisingly spacious restroom with a modern shower, offering convenience and comfort after a day of adventure.

Living Area + Entertainment

Downstairs, the small but inviting living space includes a comfy couch, warm gas fireplace, and soft lighting for evenings of relaxation. Whether you’re curling up with a good book, sipping coffee by the fire, or enjoying quiet conversation, the living area sets the tone for rest and retreat.

Outdoor Area

Step out onto two private balconies for peaceful views and serene moments in nature. Whether you’re watching the sunrise, listening to the sounds of the forest, or stargazing at night, The Fern’s setting makes it easy to slow down and soak in the beauty around you.

Cleaning

We keep it simple: no cleaning fees, no chore lists before departure. Cleaning supplies are available onsite for your convenience, and the space is designed for easy living so you can spend more time exploring and less time tidying.
