The space
Welcome to The Lion’s Lair—where treehouse dreams become reality.

As Kentucky’s most wish-listed Airbnb, this guest-favorite retreat offers a one-of-a-kind experience in the heart of the Red River Gorge.

Perched in the forest canopy, the spacious deck is perfect for morning coffee or evening wine, with great views that bring peace and awe. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit to roast marshmallows, grill dinner, and unwind under starry skies.

Just steps from the treehouse, you’ll find trailheads perfect for every kind of explorer. Hike to iconic landmarks like Gray’s Arch, or enjoy a leisurely walk along a streamside path ideal for kids and casual evening strolls. You’re never far from adventure here.

And when you’re ready to venture out, you’re just 15 minutes from some of Red River Gorge’s most beloved local spots. Grab a slice at Miguel’s Pizza, fuel up with coffee from Daniel Boone Coffee Shop, cool off with ice cream, or check out nearby mini golf and other outdoor attractions. Whether it’s climbing, hiking, or just hanging out, you’ll never run out of things to do.

Book your stay at The Lion’s Lair and make your treehouse escape a reality!

Guest access
You’ll have full access to the entire treehouse, including the spacious deck, a romantic swinging porch, and an incredible fire pit area. Love to hike? Some of the area’s favorite trails are just steps away—Martins Fork Trailhead parking is right across the street!

Other things to note
Located in the National Forest with access to beautiful trails—some may be steep, uneven, or slippery.

Loft is accessible by ladder and includes a double mattress and sitting area.

Parking is at the base of the property; a short uphill hike leads to the treehouse. The gravel road to the unloading area is steep but drivable.

Sleeps up to 4 guests: double mattress in loft + double air mattress in main area.

Bring your own firewood, charcoal, and lighter fluid for the fire pit and grill.

You’ll receive detailed info before check-in, including local tips.

Expect bugs—it’s a peaceful, natural forest experience, not a resort.

We look forward to hosting you!
