Presenting: Mountain Rose Chalet

Happy Sunday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We sure did. Other than amazing weather, the fall foliage is almost at its "peak" for October. It's a beautiful sight. We also have a new cabin on our rental program as of this past weekend called Mountain Rose Chalet. Its name suits it perfectly! Check out the pictures of the cabin below. Mountain Rose offers a private queen bedroom downstairs and a queen bed in the loft for a max occupancy of 4. It has 1 full bathroom downstairs and a half bath upstairs, TV / satellite, washer/dryer, charcoal grill, and a full size pool table. Mountain Rose is located on Cabin Country Development which is directly behind our office and Shell gas station. That means you're only a couple of miles from Red River Gorge or Natural Bridge. That also puts you only about 15 minutes from the Woolly Worm Festival located in Beattyville, KY that will be this weekend! Check out this link to view the virtual tour! Mountain Rose is still available for this upcoming weekend (October 23-25) so call now to reserve before it's too late.

If you're unable to visit us during October, November is just as beautiful and the weather is still great! Perfect for hiking, climbing, outdoor fires, and s'mores! We have availability through the first few weekends in November if you'd like to make plans now.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Season in the Red River Gorge

Since I have worked here at Five Star Cabin Rental I have been asked countless times “Are you familiar with the area?” Each time I explain that I was born and raised here in the Red River Gorge and NaturalBridge State Park area. That is always followed by “Can you tell me how to get to (insert trail name here)?” . None ever stop to think about how the different weather conditions may affect the views or the experience of some of the other trails in the Red River Gorge.

The wintertime in the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State park is absolutely beautiful. After we have receive a little bit of snow my favorite places to go are Sky Bridge and Natural Bridge. The high elevation of both places give you the picture perfect view of all the snow covered hills and trees. Sky Bridge is a very easy hike at only .17 mile and takes maybe 30 minutes to walk. For the Natural Bridge you can take the Original Trail. This trail take approximately 45 minutes and it about 1.7 miles

.

Spring will be here before long and we tend to get plenty of rain which is great for the two waterfalls that are located in the Red River Gorge. They are Creation Falls and Kaner Falls. You can get to the Creation falls by taking the Rock Bridge Loop Trail #207. Kaner Falls is a little harder to get to. It is located off the Swift Camp Creek Trail.

In the summer after you have been exploring the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park you should check out Jump Rock. Jump Rock is located off the Sheltowee Trace Suspension Bridge Trail. There you can go to the top of the rock and jump into the water below and swim. It is a nice way to cool down on a hot day. While there you should venture out a little further and experience the Suspension Bridge.

No matter what time of year there is plenty of things to see and do here in the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park area. To come and experience this beautiful area you need a cabin just as wonderful. Here at Five Star Cabin Rental we have the perfect cabin for you. We have something for everyone. We have cabins that will sleep anywhere from 2 -9 people. We also have cabins with hot tubs, Jacuzzi tubs, pool tables, foosball table, fireplaces, fire pits, and some have Wi-Fi. You can view all of our cabins at www.naturalbridgecabinrental.com. Be sure to like our facebook to get all the updates on our cabins and the specials that we will be running.

Hope to hear from you all soon!

Busy Weekend at The Red River Gorge

It's been a very busy weekend for us so far here at the Natural Bridge State Park & Red River Gorge. We booked completely for Friday & Saturday! Our guests have been so excited to explore the area & also enjoy their cabins. This weekend is a good time to turn on the cozy fireplaces, build a fire outside in the fire pit, or soak in the hot tub during the chilly evening. They are definitely taking full advantage of those extra amenities this weekend with the cool temps.

The past few days have been great hiking weather. With alot of tourists in the area this weekend we've had rock climbers, hikers backpacking, campers, family reunions, & a couple of wildlife biologists. People come from all over to see the beautiful area that we live in & to see the Red River Gorge's beauty. The wildlife biologists that I talked to were from Washington. They asked if black bears are common in this area &  I told them no. They said that back home where they live there is Indians who consider the bears sacred & other tribes consider them food. That the bears will wonder off from their homes and into the territory of the Indians. Those that consider them sacred will not kill them but call the wildlife biologists & they will come pick up the bear & transport it back to its habitat. She said that about 5 months out the year they are like a "taxi" & will pick up bears all day & transport them. The stories that she told & the information about the black bears was very interesting. I told her that bears are spotted here in the area every now & then & occasionally our boss will catch them outside of her house on her security cameras. She thought that was very funny! She said in Washington where she lives is the largest population of black bears.

If you are in the area this weekend make sure you go to the Red River Gorge & Natural Bridge or you're missing out! The overlooks at Chimney Top, Princess Arch, & Sky Bridge have been what everyone is talking about this weekend. We've also had alot of campers coming into the gift shop to buy firewood & sweatshirts who are camping near Grey's Arch & said it is beautiful. Take time to relax & take in the beautiful scenery, drive through the Nada Tunnel in the Red River Gorge, or hike up to the Natural Bridge to see the amazing overlook of the park. You never know, you may just see a black bear on your trip!

Our office is open till 8pm this evening & tomorrow we are open till 6pm. You can call us at 606-663-8858 to reserve one of our cozy log cabins or for any information on them. Make sure you like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/5StarCabinRental & follow us on Twitter @fivestarcabins. We hope you have a terrific weekend!

Beautiful Day!

Good Morning!

It's a beautiful day so far! Temperatures are cool but no rain in sight and that makes for a good day here at Natural Bridge & Red River Gorge. I've had several people in and out of the store looking around this morning. A lot of people are in the area with their kids for fall break! It makes for some great memories and fun times here! I've seen several of my friends posting pictures of their trips to Red River Gorge area the last couple of weeks as well. Such a great area to visit!

We've had the best year here at Five Star Cabin Rental! The summer was pretty mild (not too hot is okay with me!) and the fall has treated us just as all. We've had a little more rain than most would like this time of year, but that hasn't stopped our amazing guests, family and friends from coming our way! Our cabins offer hot tubs (some covered for when the nasty weather hits), fireplaces, fire pits, full kitchens, washer/dryer units, pool tables/foosball tables/etc. and TV/satellite so when the weather is not so pleasant, you have a place to go! I hope you consider us in your future plans for your next visit to the Red River Gorge!

We have one more room left available at our Black Bear Lodge Motel for this upcoming weekend, so call soon to book before it's gone! We won't have it long! As October gets close to an end, everyone is trying to get a last minute trip in to see the pretty fall foliage!

As always, we're here everyday at Five Star and we have vacation specialists waiting to take your call. We'll be in office until 7:00 PM this Thursday evening if you have any questions or would like to book a cabin. Be sure to also visit us on the web or on our Facebook page! Or you can send us a quick email if you aren't able to call and have a quick question or comment!

Have a wonderful day!

Fall Fun!

It is finally October! We have been staying very busy here at Five Star Cabin Rental taking reservations and  answering questions to help our guest find the best cabin to stay at while they come to The Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge State Park. We always do everything in our power to help you find your perfect mountain getaway.

A popular question we have been getting recently has been about fireplaces. The good news is all of our cabins have a fireplace. The greater part of them are either electric or gas. However our Secluded Serenity Falls, The Cliffs at Hickory Ridge, and Deer Track Falls Country Home all have wood fireplaces. Our Bear Run Chalet has a wood burning stove. To take a look at any of the those cabins and the many others that we offer go to www.naturalbridgecabinrental.com

Another popular feature everyone is looking for is a fire pit. Everyone always loves to sit around a campfire when it starts to get cool out and sing campfire songs, tell ghost stories, and make smores. Luckily the majority of our cabins all have a fire pit area. However with being in the Daniel Boone National Forest and around Natural Bridge State Park you have to be extra careful in the fall time with fires. When the leaves start to get dry they can ignite easier. Always make sure there is no fire ban in place before you decide to roast some marshmallows and hot dogs.

We also have some exciting news from Natural Bridge State Park. On Oct.17-18, 2014 starting at around 7pm and going till 9pm you will be able to ride the sky lift to the top of Natural Bridge and experience that by the moonlight. The cost will be $15 per person. Talk about a fun experience with your whole family or maybe a little romantic trip. Don’t forget your flash light though, it will get dark.

We are still running our special. You can rent two nights between Oct.5-9 and get one night free. Stay must be completed by Oct.9. If you have any questions about our cabins or our special give us a call at 1(606)663-8858.  To view our cabins go to www.naturalbridgecabinrental.com . Also don’t forget to follow us on Twitter @fivestarcabin you can also like our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/5StarCabinRental
