I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
Sometimes you just need to get away from it all… and by get away from it all, we mean technology, too. Nature offers a wonderful reprieve from the breakneck pace of everyday life… but the Great Outdoors can feel a lot less great when we’re fielding conference calls and responding to emails on our iPhones. Our recommendation? A digital detox. Now, before your smartphone scrolling thumbs start twitching, hear us out. There’s a beautiful, off-the-grid cabin community in Kentucky that offers nothing but peace and quiet. Red River Gorge Cabin Company gives guests an off-the-grid experience in one of the most beautiful regions of Kentucky. Surrounded by natural beauty in a rustic-but-luxurious cabin in the heart of Red River Gorge, we promise you won’t miss the office — or Instagram — at this perfect slice of Bluegrass paradise.
Known as the "Grand Canyon of Kentucky," Red River Gorge is a canyon system along the Red River in the eastern part of the state. Red River Gorge is a magical place any time of the year, offering some of the very best outdoor recreation in the country.
Red River Gorge is renowned for its outdoor recreation, boasting next-level hiking, kayaking, fishing, climbing, and camping. The wilds of Red River Gorge offer a beautiful and scenic retreat from the world that's good for the heart and soul. But if you prefer more glamping than primitive camping, look no further than Red River Gorge Cabin Company.
Peregrine Cabin is a wholly off-the-grid experience -- no electric, no WiFi, and spotty (at best) cell service. But before you balk at the idea, the tradeoff is immense, and well-worth it, in our opinion.
Because this cabin is located on 14 remote acres in the middle of the Red River Gorge Geological Area. From here, you can hike right out to the Martin’s Fork trailhead. Or if you’re more adventurous, it's easy to navigate to the start of the Auxier Ridge trails or Raven Rock. (And full disclosure: you'll have to do a little hiking to access this off-the-grid cabin in Kentucky, too).
But this cabin is worth it; it is the ultimate getaway for those wishing for more comfort than what's provided with camping, but also wanting to be immersed in nature. This cabin is literally built into the earth in the forested wilds of Red River Gorge, and the surrounding scenery is sublime.
Here you can take some much-needed time to reconnect with nature, your partner, family, friends -- or yourself. Swap the Netflix for board games and ebooks for real books. Remember what it's like to just be, with no iPhone notifications or noise.
Of course, you can also while away the day outdoors, staying warm by the fire pit. Bring a cozy blanket and let the sights, sounds, and smells of the Bluegrass wilds soothe your senses... and soul.
For a restorative, off-the-grid experience in Kentucky, follow the lead of John Muir, and head out into the forest, to the wondrous woods of Red River Gorge.
