The space
Welcome to Tanager Trails, your own private mountain escape in the heart of Kentucky's beautiful Red River Gorge region. Tucked away on 180 private acres in the rolling hills of Powell County, this newly constructed cabin offers the perfect balance of comfort, seclusion, and adventure. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful retreat in nature, or a basecamp for exploring Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Resort Park, you'll find everything you need here.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be surrounded by the quiet beauty of the forest. With no crowds, no traffic, and no neighboring cabins overlooking your stay, you'll have the freedom to truly disconnect and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature.

The cozy cabin has been thoughtfully designed to provide all the comforts of home while maintaining the charm of a woodland retreat. After a day of exploring, relax in the inviting living space, prepare your favorite meals, or simply unwind on the porch with a cup of coffee while listening to birdsong echo through the trees.

Step outside and discover what makes this property truly special. Wander along private hiking trails that wind through mature hardwood forests. Hike up the Old Logging Road trail where you will walk along the ridge dividing Montgomery and Powell Counties. Discover unique rock formations, scenic overlooks and peaceful woodland settings. On the Spring Trail you'll find a seasonal natural spring percolating from the ground. Stop and enjoy the tranquility.

Nature lovers will appreciate the incredible diversity of wildlife that call these 180 acres home. It's common to spot white-tailed deer, wild turkey, turtles, salamanders and countless woodland creatures during your stay. Bird enthusiasts will enjoy watching and listening for colorful native species throughout the property, making every morning on the porch a peaceful experience.

As the sun goes down, you might hear the nocturnal cries of the Whippoorwills. Gather around the fire pit for one of the best parts of cabin life. Roast marshmallows, make s'mores, share stories, or simply sit back beneath some of Kentucky's darkest night skies. With minimal light pollution, the stars seem to stretch endlessly overhead, making nighttime just as memorable as the day. Listen for the very social Barred Owls as they converse back and forth with their cheerful, "Who cooks for you?" calls.

Tanager Trails is only a short drive from the area's most popular attractions. Spend your day exploring the world-famous Red River Gorge Geological Area, hike iconic trails, climb breathtaking sandstone arches, kayak nearby waterways, enjoy local restaurants, browse unique shops, or experience the region's growing collection of outdoor adventures. Whether you're visiting for hiking, rock climbing, photography, off-road adventures, fall colors, or simply a quiet weekend away, this cabin places you close to everything while giving you the privacy to escape when the day is done.

Perfect for couples, solo travelers, small families, and outdoor enthusiasts, this private mountain retreat offers an experience that's increasingly difficult to find—a place where you can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy hundreds of acres that feel like your own personal wilderness.

My midlife crisis led me to Red River Gorge and finding my passion. I left a retail management career to be a Treehouse Builder. I went from building a backyard treehouse to working in the industry. My passion is with guest experience so I moved into cabin cleaning, then hosting, co-hosting and now owning my first rental. I live on a farm in Campton with 4 dogs, 4 cats, 2 humans, a zipline, rope swing and ATV trails. Make life fun!
