- Starry Mountain Night is a non-smoking, pet-free mountain retreat with a private seasonal pool, hot tub, and incredible views -
Escape to Starry Mountain Night, our secluded & amenity-packed Red River Gorge retreat made for families and groups who want just as much to enjoy at home as they do out exploring. With a private seasonal swimming pool, hot tub, pool table, covered deck with mountain views, firepit, outdoor play area, seasonal gas fireplace, and room for up to 8 guests, this is the kind of place where staying in can easily become part of the vacation.
Spend the day hiking, climbing, paddling, or sightseeing around the Gorge, then come home for a swim, a hot tub soak, a game of pool, dinner on the grill, and a fire under the stars. And with those mountain views waiting outside, don’t be surprised if morning coffee on the deck turns into a much longer sit than planned.
• Kitchen + Amenities: Our fully equipped kitchen makes group meals easy with an electric stove and oven, refrigerator with freezer, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, hand mixer, standard drip coffee maker, plenty of cookware, dinnerware, and everyday cooking essentials. Coffee and coffee supplies are not provided.
Our cabin also includes high-speed Wi-Fi, flat-screen Roku TV, washer/dryer, seasonal gas fireplace, pool table, private hot tub, seasonal swimming pool, charcoal grill, firepit, covered deck, outdoor furniture, and beautiful mountain views.
• Seasonal Swimming Pool: Our private outdoor swimming pool is open seasonally from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. Reservations outside the stated pool season should not be booked with pool access as an expected amenity. The private hot tub remains available outside of pool season.
Pool floats, toys, and life jackets are not provided, so please plan accordingly if you would like them during your stay.
• Pool Maintenance Note: We strive for every guest to enjoy a clean and well-maintained pool during their stay. Because of this, the pool is serviced regularly throughout the season, and our pool technician may occasionally need to stop by during a reservation for routine maintenance. We will always reach out to you and do our best to coordinate a time that works best for you, and visits are kept as quick and unobtrusive as possible.

• Outdoor Living: The outdoor spaces at Starry Mountain Night are built for making the most of the mountain setting. Spend sunny days around the private seasonal pool, soak in the hot tub while taking in the surroundings, enjoy meals on the covered deck, or settle around the firepit once the evening cools down.
Families also have an outdoor play area with a playhouse, slide, climbing features, one standard swing, and one child swing, giving younger travelers their own place to burn off some energy while everyone else enjoys the view.
• Pet Policy: Starry Mountain Night is not pet-friendly due to owner allergies. Please do not bring pets to our cabin. Unauthorized pets may result in a $350 fee.

• Location: Starry Mountain Night offers a peaceful Stanton setting while keeping Red River Gorge adventures within easy reach. Natural Bridge State Resort Park is approximately 15 miles, or about 26 minutes, away.
Hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, zip lines, scenic overlooks, restaurants, sightseeing, and other area favorites are all within driving distance.
• Seasonal Fall Note:
During fall, leaves are actively dropping throughout the Red River Gorge. Our porches, decks, and outdoor spaces are swept and prepared before arrival, but fresh leaves can accumulate quickly—even shortly after housekeeping has finished. A few leaves on outdoor surfaces are a normal part of staying in the woods during autumn and are not an indication that the property was not cleaned.
• A Note About Nature:
You’re staying in the heart of Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and all the nature that comes with them. While our cabins are professionally cleaned and routinely treated for pests, occasional insects and other woodland visitors may still make an appearance—especially during warmer months. This is a natural part of staying in a heavily wooded mountain environment and does not necessarily indicate a cleanliness or pest-control issue.
