We especially enjoyed the legendary Miguels Pizza (also a climbing gear shop and campgrounds) and Sky Bridge Station (which also has lodging) for cold pints and fancy hot dogs. After a few miles, we’d eat a late lunch at a local establishment. We rarely encountered other hikers on the trails at times it felt like we were the only two people in the world. We saw Courthouse Rock and Haystack Rock from the exposed part of the ridge, and the spring blooms were abundant. Our favorite hike was the moderately difficult, five-mile Auxier Ridge Loop in Daniel Boone National Forest, which took us from stunning ridge vistas all the way down to creek-crossing on the forest floor and back up again. We’d hike in the mornings and reflect on the wedding, reminiscing about our favorite moments together and our separate experiences with friends and family. We didn’t schedule any activities, but our days fell into a natural rhythm. Seemingly everything around is a restaurant or a grocery store combined with lodging or campgrounds. Real campers will be happy to know that RRG is a destination for all sorts of outdoorsy folks-especially climbers-and the culture is strong. We’re not campers, we’re “campers,” so the rental we chose was fully loaded, complete with a hot tub. The Gorge is a little less than two-and-a-half hours from Cincinnati, and neither of us had ever been, despite basically everyone we know raving about it for years.įireside Chalet, our Airbnb host, promised a “cozy couple’s getaway,” and it delivered.
Since we didn’t have time for some far-flung adventure, we booked a few days at an Airbnb in Red River Gorge. Thankfully, we had anticipated this: We knew we would need to get away to recharge, but we both had to return to work relatively quickly. After it was over, we felt grateful, lucky, and very, very tired. The downstairs of this cabin has cherry hardwood floors throughout and granite kitchen counter tops.Our big day finally came, and it was even more wonderful than we had imagined. * This cabin sits on a 1.75 wooded acre lot in this development and is 1 3/4 stories with 20 large windows in the front overlooking the Gorge Area from lower and upper levels.The bedrooms consist of 2 Queen and 1 full beds sitting on hardwood floors that are simply beautiful. Mountain Retreat is located in the Red River Mountain Development across from entrance to Red River Gorge and just minutes from Natural Bridge State Park.
