Escape to The Willow, your private Kentucky hilltop retreat with no neighboring cabins or shared spaces.

Hi, I’m Erica! I’m a little obsessed with creating places people genuinely love staying in—and I’m lucky to do it in one of my favorite places, Red River Gorge. I love the little details that turn a rental into a getaway and make you want to slow down and stay awhile. I know and love the Gorge, so I’m always happy to share favorite restaurants, adventures and hidden gems. My favorite guest review? “We didn’t want to leave.” That’s always the goal. ❤️
