An A-Frame
Unlike Any Other

"Perched at the edge of the Daniel Boone National Forest, completely remodeled, and unlike anything else in eastern Kentucky."

Canyon Ridge Retreats is a 900 sq ft A-frame cabin sleeping up to 8 guests, sitting adjacent to Cave Run Lake and 20–30 minutes from Red River Gorge. Completely remodeled in 2023 — new cabinets, stainless appliances, modern finishes — while keeping every bit of the warmth that makes a cabin feel like a cabin.

Whether you're here for the fishing, the climbing, the hiking, or to simply disappear from the world for a few days, Canyon Ridge delivers. Every season brings something new.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions?

Canyon Ridge Retreats is 20–30 minutes from the main entrances of Red River Gorge, depending on your destination within the gorge. Nada Tunnel is approximately 25 minutes away. Download AllTrails and offline Google Maps before you go — cell service is spotty inside the gorge.
The lake itself is a short drive — Longbow Marina is 5 minutes away and Clay Lick Boat Ramp is 5–7 minutes. You're not waterfront, but you're as close as it gets in this area without being on the water.
Absolutely. Multiple public boat ramps are within 5–7 minutes of the cabin. Scott Creek Marina also offers pontoon and jon boat rentals if you don't bring your own — call 606-784-9666 to reserve in advance, especially in summer.
Excellent for families. Rock Bridge Trail, the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, Gorge Underground (age 5+), Twin Knobs Beach, and the Natural Bridge Sky Lift are all fantastic for kids. The cabin itself is family-friendly with multiple sleeping options and the fire pit and movie screen are big hits with all ages.
The cabin has fiber optic WiFi so internet is fast and reliable. Cell service varies by carrier — it's adequate at the cabin but spotty inside Red River Gorge. We strongly recommend downloading AllTrails and offline Google Maps before heading to the gorge.
We require a 2-night minimum stay for most dates. Holiday weekends and peak fall season may require a 3-night minimum. Check the booking calendar for specific dates.
Every season is great for different reasons. Fall (September–November) is peak season — the foliage in the gorge is world-class and the fishing on Cave Run is at its best. Summer is ideal for the lake, beach, and outdoor activities. Spring brings wildflowers and trophy fishing. Winter reveals bald eagles on Cave Run Lake and a much quieter, peaceful experience.
Yes — weekly and extended stay discounts are available when you book direct. Contact us directly for a custom quote on stays of 5 nights or more.
