Good Morning!

Good soggy morning everyone! It was nice to get some rain though, it makes the foliage much greener and the gardens grow. Can't complain about that.

Speaking of foliage, the trees are back in full bloom. Check out the pictures to see for yourself. We went fishing on the Red River yesterday evening at Indian Creek and it was beautiful. A couple of pictures were taken at Mill Creek Lake a month or so ago, and the picture of the sky lift were taken yesterday too!
There is a lot of stuff to do in Red River Gorge area, mostly outdoors. Of course, there is fishing at two awesome locations, Red River & Mill Creek Lake. You can go canoeing/kayaking at either location also. Red River Gorge offers endless hiking and rock climbing. There is a place called Torrent Falls that offers guided rock climbing if you're new to it but would like to give it a try. There are two exciting zip lines, and a new ropes aerial course. If you're tired of being on your feet, or just want to see something gorgeous, you can take a 34 mile scenic drive around the Red River Gorge. You will see things like the Nada Tunnel, large rock formations, maybe some wildlife, and a lot of other sights. And last but certainly not least, there is the sky lift up to the Natural Bridge. There are plenty of souvenir shops in the area, as well as three restaurants to stop and grab a bite to eat after a long day of adventuring.

As you can see, there is something to do for everyone here in Red River Gorge & Natural Bridge. Make plans to come see us and see where your adventure takes you. Of course, we'll provide a place to stay. We'll welcome you home whenever you're ready to visit!


Have a great one!

The wonderful things to see and do in Red River Gorge / Natural Bridge, Kentucky!

Take a look at this beautiful view of Mill Creek Lake. This was taken 2 days ago when we went fishing there. That's one of the many awesome activities to enjoy while visiting the Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge areas. The weather has been phenomenal and it's the most perfect time to visit. It isn't too hot or too cold, and everything is just starting to open back up.

If you need a place to stay while visiting, don't hesitate to give us a call. We'd love to have you visit us and our cabins. We're just minutes away from the pictured, beautiful Mill Creek Lake.

We hope to hear from you soon!

Happy Leap Day!

Happy Leap Year Day! It's a tradition (in Ireland and Britain anyway) that on Leap Year Day, the woman may propose marriage by only in a Leap Year! If a marriage proposal was refused by the man, compensation was deemed to be a pair of leather gloves, a single rose, $1, and a kiss. In Greece, it is considered unlucky to marry in a Leap Year and some would actually avoid marriage in that year. The owners of 5 Star, Debbie & Lloyd Little, were actually married this day, 40 years ago! Debbie says it was a premeditated plan by her smart husband to only have to buy her an anniversary gift every 4 years (haha). She says that's okay though, because she married the man of her dreams. Happy Anniversary Debbie & Lloyd!

It means something different to everyone. I was reading about different traditions and thought I'd share some with you!

Have a Happy Leap Day!

Brrr!

It looks like winter has officially found us! It's only in the 30's today and we've seen flurries flying all morning. While it's a beautiful sight to see, it's also pretty rigid to be out in. Looks like we may have a chance at a beautiful, white Christmas after all this year! I was starting to get worried, we'd remained for the most part in the 60's and 70's so far!! Remember, you can keep track of weather and road conditions right on our site with our live camera feed!

We are running a Pre-Christmas special right now. It's rent one night, get second night for $30.00!!! Wow, that's a great deal if I do say so myself! This offer is good today, December 18, 2015 through Tuesday, December 22, 2015. We have fully equipped cabins (including nice and cozy fireplaces) so give us a call today to come enjoy a quick break before all of the holiday excitement starts!
*Offer valid for new reservations only.
*Stay must be completed by Thursday, December 24, 2015.
*Offer only valid through reservations made by phone (must have promo code Pre-Christmas Special).

We are filling up quick for New Years. If you're wanting to come to your favorite vacation place to bring in the New Year, give us a call soon before they're all gone. What better way to celebrate then in a nice relaxing hot tub or by a warm fire! Our cabins offer full kitchens, tv/satellite, hot tubs, washer/dryers, Jacuzzi tubs, and a select few with game rooms. Don't have time to call us? Check out our website where we offer convenient online chat and online bookings, no phone call required!

Last minute cancellation!

Good afternoon! We've had a last minute cancellation for our "Deer Track Falls Country Home" for this upcoming weekend (October 23-25). Deer Track Falls can hold up to six guests, it is situated on 5 acres of land, and is only a few minutes drive from the Natural Bridge State Park & Red River Gorge. Check out this link for more information! Deer Track Falls is a brick home that is tastefully designed like a cabin. It offers all the same amenities as a cabin such as a hot tub on the deck, fireplace, outdoor fire pit, etc. Right now is the perfect time to visit the area if you want to see something spectacular!  The foliage is filled with yellows, oranges, and reds and the weather has been perfect. They're calling for it to be close to the 80's this weekend! Grab a few friends and some family and head our way. There is a local festival in Lee County (Beattyville, KY) called the Woolly Worm Festival and it's only a 15 minute drive that you can go and check out while you're here visiting. We'll be in the office today until 8:00 PM if you'd like to make a reservation. I look forward to speaking with you!

Have a wonderful day!

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!

Labor Day is near...

Good afternoon everyone. It has turned out to be yet another beautiful day here in the Natural Bridge & Red River Gorge. Soon the leaves will start to change and summer will officially come to an end. Come visit and enjoy the "green" and all of the awesome activities in the area while you still can. There's no wrong time to visit the Gorge!!

Labor Day weekend is one of our busiest holidays of the year in Natural Bridge & Red River Gorge.  The area will be exceedingly active. Although it's the last weekend for a couple of area activities (until next year that is), Labor Day marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons and is also the first three day weekend after school starts! It's also a major sale weekend. Let's not forget the reason for this national holiday though, the celebration of the American labor movement. Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers.

As I mentioned, Labor Day weekend is one on our busiest times. People come from all over to visit the area, and to celebrate with their family and friends. As of right now, we still have just a few cabins available. If you're looking for a place to stay, I recommend that you call today because we will soon be completely booked. I'm available to take calls until 6:00 PM this evening if you would like to reserve a cabin or just need information. You can reach me by phone at (606) 663-8858 or our website (live chat) at www.naturalbridgecabinrental.com.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Summer's almost gone...

   

     We were in full swing here at 5 Star Cabin Rentals this past weekend. It has been one of the busiest summers we've seen in awhile at Red River Gorge. The cabins and campgrounds alike have stayed booked up during summer break. We had the pleasure of meeting guests from all over the world, including Germany. That's one of my favorite things about working/living in this area, the wonderful people we meet on a daily basis. The old saying is true, you learn something new everyday!

     Even though summer is coming to an end soon, don't forget about the most loved season, fall! The Red River Gorge & Natural Bridge area are at their peak during October. If you have not had the pleasure of experiencing  the area during this time, I urge you to start making plans now. It's one of the most stunning sights you'll ever see. We have cabins that offer amazing views to catch a glimpse of natures beauty, but they're starting to book up fast for the fall season. If you're wanting to visit during fall break, give us a call today and reserve a cabin so you're sure to get the one of your choosing.

Have a wonderful day all!

Creation Falls / Red River Gorge, KY

Don't let the rain keep you from doing what you enjoy most! The Red River Gorge and Natural Bridge have something to offer everyone, rain or shine. I'm sure about everyone reading this has visited the Rock Bridge Trail that takes you out to Creation Falls. Can you imagine how beautiful the falls is right now!? If a trip to The Red is not in your plans, take a day to drive down and experience all that the area has to offer. Bring a poncho though, it's a little bit wet right now! If you're not as familiar with the Gorge, check out this link to see a beautiful image of Creation Falls. The area has attractions like that and so much more to offer!

While you're here, don't forget to stop by our Wild Things! of Kentucky. They have gem mining outside on a covered deck. You're sure to find something, and kids and adults alike love this activity. It's also a great getaway while you wait for the rain to pass so you can hit the trails! Wild Things also offers an indoor wildlife exhibit that is sure to excite the little ones! They can view Kentucky's live poisonous snakes & spiders up close behind a large glass wall! You can also watch live honey bees fly into their glass bee hive while making honey! Can you spot the queen bee? Before you leave, be sure to check out Ernie, the bathroom attendant. Talk about a hilarious experience! There is no other place like Wild Things around, so be sure to include them in your trip! Check our their website for more information!

Take a look at our cabins at www.naturalbridgecabinrental.com for more information about them. We offer a live chat everyday if you're too busy to make that call. If not, you can speak with a vacation specialist at (606) 663-8858. We'll be in office until 8:00 PM if you have any questions.
