River's Roost Riverfront Cabin in the Gorge.

A very rare location, on the Red River and inside the Red River Gorge. Close to the best sites & trails. The porch looks into the river 25' below. Outside on the deck is a charcoal grill, fire pit, porch swing, benches and chairs. In the loft are queen & twin size beds. Below, is a full size futon/bed, kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen has a fridge, stove, microwave, coffeemaker, pots/pans, dishes, flatware etc. It has TV, heat, A/C, fans, and high speed internet.

The cabin towers over the river elevated on poles. The covered front porch has a table and chair set, bench and end table. See directly into the river from the porch. Under the cabin is a large charcoal grill (BYO charcoal and lighter) a porch swing, hammock, folding chairs, and a fire pit. The property is gated and has a privacy fence. Guests have exclusive access to the cabin and surrounding grounds. There is parking for two cars below the cabin. A private path leads to the river below the cabin.

Our guests get and a 10% discount on kayak rentals and shuttle services at Mill Creek Lake at Natural Bridge State Park, and at Red River Adventure on the river. Bring your kayaks and swimsuits!

Unlike almost all other advertised cabins in the area, this cabin is actually inside the Gorge, on the river, and surrounded by miles of Forest Service lands. Don't be mislead, check our location on the map. The only other structure in view is our home, which is about 100 yards away and across the road.

Due to it's remote location there is no "city" water. The cabin is on a well water system. It's fine for cooking, showers/washing. But we recommend that you bring bottled water for drinking purposes. We provide some bottled water, which you will find in the fridge. The cabin is close to the locally famous "Nada Spring". In fact you will probably pass by the spring on the way to the cabin. It's where we, and most other locals, get our drinking water. It's free, clean, good tasting, ice cold and an approved/tested water source. Bring some gallon jugs, and get some Nada Spring water.

Firewood may be gathered if it is already on the ground, or you may buy firewood from nearby kayak outfitter, Red River Adventure. Please, no cutting standing trees or gathering large limbs /logs. Make sure your fire is small, and that it is out before you leave the cabin.

As we are surrounded by miles of forest, there is always the possibility of a power outage. Bring a flashlight. There is an emergency light in the cabin. We will contact the electric company about the outage ASAP, it is usually restored within 3-4 hours.
Mobile phone service in the Gorge is spotty depending on your provider.

As this is a rustic cabin in the middle of the woods you may see wasps/insects around the cabin, as they search out structures to make their home. We work on that constantly and make every effort to minimize thier presence. Beaver, otters, geese, deer, turkeys and other wild life are often near the cabin or in the water

Please do not leave your pet unattended on the property. Well behaved, non-aggressive dogs are welcome. By renting the cabin you agree that you are liable for your pet's actions.
