Kentucky is for dreamers. When night falls, the skies above the Bluegrass shine bright; and depending on where you are, you might even catch a glimpse of the Milky Way and other constellations. Red River Gorge is an area that needs no introduction; it’s one of the state’s crown jewels, and a bucket-list-must for all Kentucky explorers. But in addition to its above- and below-ground wonders, Red River Gorge is also a place of infinite beauty and possibility; an expansive, extraordinary area for stargazing. And at The Observatory, a treehouse located near Red River Gorge, guests can spend the night stargazing in one of the most extraordinary accommodations — and beautiful regions — in Kentucky.
Located in Daniel Boone National Forest, Red River Gorge is a magical place any time of the year, offering some of the very best outdoor recreation in the country.
