Observatory Treehouse | 2 Bed, 0.5 Bath

The Observatory tree-house is a vacation experience that quite literally rises above the rest!  Built not for the faint of heart, this tree-top adventure offers the best views of the Red River Gorge.  Acscend the wandering wooden staircases into the canopy to begin your exploration of this pirate ship in the trees.  You'll discover spectacular views from a glass bedroom with built-in skylights, a screened-in hammock lounge with plenty of storage, and a cozy kitchen with a wrap-around porch.  As you navigate from room to room through floating walkways and steep ship ladders, you may be wondering what it must have been like to create such an epic abode...

A note from our tree-house team, the Canopy Crew:

Building this tree house is a dream come true for the Canopy Crew, and I am so excited to share it. I would argue that this is one of the coolest tree house rentals in the world. This is a true canopy experience and it should be noted that it might be too adventurous for some!

Once you trek up to your new home in the swaying Eastern White Pine, you may feel exposed to the unforgettable raw nature of the canopy!  This tree house is designed for able-bodied folks and is NOT meant for unsupervised or small children.

Please note that this treehouse is up a bumpy, sometimes muddy, gravel road.  Small two-wheeled vehicles can make it to the cabin, but four wheel drives have an easier time.

-- Amenities --

Staying in a Red River Gorgeous Cabin is truly a one-of-a-kind experience.  Because all of our hand-built cabins are unique, we wish to inform you of their individual features so you can come prepared to enjoy your stay to the fullest.

Kitchen:  The Observatory kitchen has a gas stove, french press coffee pot, cookware, dishware, soap and kitchen linens.  Above the sink you’ll find a 5-gallon water dispenser for your cooking and cleaning needs.  We supply two 5-gallon jugs of potable water during your stay.  For perishables, a 75 L Yeti cooler is provided.  Please bring your own ice.

Living/Dining:  Screened-in lounge on the lowest level with a futon and two hammocks, a porch and bar-style seating for two on the mid-level, and the most spectacular views from the highest level on the Observation deck that leads to the bedroom.

Bathroom:  Observatory has a private composting outhouse.  You are also welcome to use our guest shower and bathroom at the RRG Headquarters at any time during your stay.

Bedroom:  A full bed above the trees and a full-futon in the lower hammock lounge.  While this tree-house was designed for two, there is room for two additional guests in the hammock lounge!  Please note: this lower sleeping area has large screened windows, is not insulated and does not contain a heating mechanism.  Linens provided for number of indicated guests.

Additional Amenities:  Weber charcoal grill, wall heater in the bedroom, solar powered kitchen lights and solar charging station for small electronics, battery-powered lanterns, and a private fire pit with camp chairs.  Did we mention the view???

We had a wonderful stay at the observatory treehouse. Our 8 year old loved it and hasn’t stopped talking about it since we left! The view was absolutely stunning and it was such a quiet and relaxing stay. Book it!!
