8 guests3 bedrooms2 baths
Red River Gorge, near Zoe, KY
Stone and Sky sits above the Red River Gorge with nothing in view but trees, rock and sky. A west-facing wall of windows catches every sunset, and you will not see another home from the back patio.
Built with care
Custom kitchen cabinets, stone countertops, tiled showers and beautiful floors throughout. Bedrooms are generous, each with its own Roku smart TV and ample closet space. Every bed has a Casper mattress and Casper pillows.
The space
Downstairs: a queen bedroom, a queen-over-queen bunk room, and a bathroom with dual vanities and a 6-foot soaking tub. Upstairs: a king primary suite with a tiled walk-in shower and a loft with west-facing windows, perfect for coffee at sunrise or watching the light fade over the gorge. The living room has a gas fireplace, a large TV and a leather couch.
The kitchen
Fully custom with an oversized sink, dishwasher, range, microwave, coffee maker (K-cups or grounds), blender and air fryer. Premium stainless cookware, a Henckels knife block and place settings for 12.
Outside
A screened porch with a hot tub and seating for six looks down to the lake and across to the Maverick wall. You can see the anchors on five routes from the hot tub. Rocking chairs wait on the deck for a slow morning, and a park-style BBQ grill is ready for dinner.
For climbers
The approach to the Maverick and Nilbog areas is about 3 minutes on foot. The Motherlode top parking lot is under 15 minutes by car. The cabin sits above the Cave Fork recreational preserve recently acquired by the Red River Gorge Climbers' Coalition.
Dark sky
No light pollution. On a clear night you can see the Milky Way with the naked eye. Most nights the only sounds are crickets and birds.
Stay connected
Unlimited Starlink Wi-Fi covers the whole cabin, so video calls and streaming work at the same time. An on-demand water heater means hot water for everyone after a long day on the rock.

Koops General Store and Marathon gas station 6 minutes. Red Point BBQ under 15 minutes. Miguel's 17 minutes.

Know the area
A canyon system in the Daniel Boone National Forest, known for sandstone arches, rock climbing and hiking around Slade and Stanton, Kentucky.
Eat and drink
Miguel's Pizza near Slade has fed climbers and gorge visitors for decades, and runs the climbers' campground next door. Options thin out fast beyond that, so most guests plan meals around a stop in Slade or Stanton.

Groceries and supplies
The closest full grocery stores are in Stanton, a short drive from the gorge. Slade has small convenience stores for basics, but a full grocery run means heading into Stanton or Winchester.
- Slade. The small town at the gorge entrance, where the Mountain Parkway meets KY-77.
Delivery and cell service
Delivery apps rarely cover the gorge itself. Guests who want food delivered should plan on picking it up in Slade or Stanton, or plan to cook.
Things to do
The gorge is built for hiking and climbing. Gray's Arch trailhead leads to one of the area's best-known natural arches, and Muir Valley and Natural Bridge State Resort Park cover much of the rest of the climbing and hiking nearby. Chimney Top Rock is a shorter hike with a wide overlook.

- Natural Bridge. A large natural sandstone arch, reachable by trail or the park skylift.
- Chimney Top Rock. A rock outcrop with a wide overlook across the gorge.
Getting there
Slade sits where the Mountain Parkway meets the gorge, and most routes in pass through it. Nada Tunnel is the classic one-lane entrance from the west side.
