Guest access
We have plenty of parking, we do ask that you keep your vehicles in the gravel ONLY. We strive to keep The Willow in the best shape possible, this includes the yard. Driving outside of the provided gravel or parking outside of the provided gravel is not allowed.

Other things to note
This is an important one!
If you decide to book with us (and why wouldn't you, it really is a great place :)) I always send out a "greeting" message the morning of your check in (typically no later than 9:00 a.m) that will include all your check in details, tips and simple driving directions. The code to the key pad changes with each guest, this is why the "greeting" message is so important. Please be sure to check your Airbnb inbox the morning of.

Hi! We are Doug and Erica Jones. We are about a simple as they come! We enjoy everything the outdoors have to offer, from hunting, fishing, hiking, Kentucky football, and even though it’s not outdoors we can’t leave out Kentucky basketball, we bleed blue!! We are so blessed to live where we do! Red River Gorge area is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. It makes our hearts happy to be able to share our “happy place” with our guests!!
