Vireo's Nest- Unique Glamping Tent in the Gorge️

Summary:
Retreat to the forest in what's sure to be one of the most unique, refreshing vacations you've been on so far! Nestled right next to Red River Gorge Kentucky, this tent has been designed specifically to make camping feel luxurious, easy, and relaxing! Our luxury glamping tents are thick enough to ensure that you stay nice and cozy, but allow light to diffuse throughout the whole tent.

Our goal is to make outdoor retreats accessible to as many folks as possible - we'd love to host you.

The Space:
Surrounded by over 50 acres of national forest, including countless onsite activities and local attractions, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the adventure you want during the day and return to comfortable, cozy lodging at night.

🏕 Important:
- Towels are NOT provided
- Private fire pit

Tent #3 (Vireo) Ease-of-access Notes:
- This tent pairs well with The Blue Heron's Nest (Queen and Twin beds), which is just up the hill, OR The Robin's Nest (Queen and Twin beds) on the opposite side!
- The Vireo is a short walk, or drive, from the bathhouse. You will have to go slightly uphill on the way back
- We estimate the walk to take around 30 to 45 seconds

This space includes:
- 2 Full Beds
- 1 Sleeper Sofa (must supply your own pillows and blankets)
- Privacy Flaps

Camping in Red River Gorge has never been so easy, luxurious, OR cozy! If you're hoping for a unique, incredibly cool stay, visit and see all that our 50-acre woods have to offer!

Please note that our new event space, The Rookery, is reserved exclusively for guests who have booked the entire property.

** Our tents are semi-off-grid, which means no plumbing or water inside, however, there is electricity, heating, lights, and water from an outdoor spigot. We also have a fully on-grid bathhouse with septic, electricity, and instant hot water**

The Neighborhood:
On most of the 50 acres, you won't see anything man-made. This creates a fully immersive experience for you. Also, you’ll be on privately owned property with designated hiking trails (map included); please hike, explore, and allow yourself to be free!

* There are other guests that you’ll be sharing the 50 acres with, so don’t free yourself completely, if you know what we mean *

The property also has tons of natural features. The tents sit atop a giant horseshoe of cliff-edges; as you explore, you’ll find sweeping, scenic views of our valley, a waterfall, natural rock overhangs, creeks, and acres more of wildlife!
If you need to get off-property and want to do some fun, local activities, we’re within minutes of local attractions like world-class climbing and hiking, ziplining, underground kayaking (yeah, you heard us), horseback riding, and so many more things! Not to mention all of the wonderful local restaurants you can visit -- don’t worry, we’ve sampled them all and have listed our top 5 in the guestbook and on our website.

If you aren't familiar with Red River Gorge and the surrounding areas, don’t worry -- we'll send you a list of our favorite off-site activities. We want your time away to be extraordinary!

Other Things to Note:

Wonderful Glamping Experience

I invited my adult kids on a last minute glamping excursion, and I am so happy we did this! I love tent camping, but, needed something that was a little less packing/set up. This place hit the spot!The place far exceeded expectation. The tent was humongous, private, and clean! So much thought has been put into making this a comfortable experience. I love all the little touches like the coffee maker, the heater, and was even left a deck of playing cards. After hiking a few trails near/around Natural Bridge, we checked in. The girls hung back and took a nap in the VERY comfortable beds, while my son and I explored the trails on property. There is a lot to explore here.We will definitely be back! I am so happy that this place exists! Thank you for your vision.
