The Fern Tiny Cabin with WiFi and Private Trails

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, 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.
