Acorn Drop Cabin, a stunning 2025-built modern-rustic retreat, sits nestled on a secluded hillside in the heart of Red River Gorge, Campton, Kentucky. Surrounded by towering pines, oaks, and lush hardwoods, this single-story haven with high vaulted ceilings throughout offers an airy, open layout designed for relaxation and connection with nature. Accommodating up to five guests across two bedrooms and a plush sectional couch in the great room, the cabin welcomes up to two dogs with pet-friendly amenities. High-speed fiber Wi-Fi, smart remotes for mini-splits, ceiling fans, and Roku Smart TVs, and labeled light switches ensure seamless comfort. The expansive wraparound deck, gated for kids and pets, extends the living space, inviting guests to savor sunrise and sunset views amid the sights and sounds of the forest.
Great Room: The heart of Acorn Drop Cabin, the great room is a breathtaking space where two sets of double-story windows flood the interior with golden sunlight, framing endless views of the forested hillside. Warm wood walls and rustic exposed beams create a cozy yet sophisticated ambiance, anchored by an electric fireplace with a remote-controlled glow and a handcrafted mantle. Guests can sink into the plush L-shaped sectional sofa with ottoman, suitable for a fifth guest to sleep (not a pull-out; bedding provided), or relax in an extra cushy chair with its own ottoman, ideal for reading or watching the oversized Roku Smart TV. Lamps atop freestanding bookcases cast a warm, inviting glow, complementing a small side table for convenience. A curated collection of books (local reads, novels, and kids’ choices), board games, and playing cards encourages unplugged moments. Three full-size sliding glass doors open directly to the rear deck, blending indoor and outdoor living, while abundant windows throughout amplify the connection to the surrounding pines and wildlife.
Bedrooms: Two serene bedrooms, thoughtfully positioned at opposite ends of the cabin for privacy, offer restful retreats. The primary bedroom features a luxurious king-size bed with a cooling memory foam mattress, while the second bedroom boasts a queen-size bed with a cooling memory foam mattress and an en-suite bathroom. Each room is adorned with rustic wood accents and equipped with a side table, lamp, and a shelf above the bed with a night light, reading lamp, and charging station for convenience. Extra pillows, throws, and comforters ensure cozy nights, especially during brisk fall or winter evenings, with individual mini-split units allowing personalized temperature control. Large sliding glass doors in each bedroom provide direct access to the wraparound deck and stunning views of the tree-filled hillside, enhancing the sense of immersion in nature. Roku Smart TVs in both rooms offer private entertainment, making these spaces perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers seeking tranquility.
Bathrooms: Two full bathrooms cater to guest comfort with modern-rustic elegance. Each features a spacious walk-in double shower with rainfall and handheld showerheads, clad in stylish ceramic tiles that echo the cabin’s woodland aesthetic. Bowl sinks on vanities provide ample space for getting ready, with blow dryers, towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, cotton balls, and Q-tips included for convenience. The en-suite bathroom off the queen bedroom offers added privacy, while the second bathroom, accessible from the main living area, serves the primary bedroom and great room guests.
Kitchen and Coffee Bar: The open-plan kitchen, seamlessly integrated with the great room, is a chef’s delight, equipped for everything from gourmet meals to reheating leftovers. A small island provides extra prep space, complemented by stainless steel appliances: a full-size oven, stove, microwave, toaster, oversized refrigerator with ice-maker, and a Ninja blender/food processor stored in the coffee bar cabinet. Cookware, a pizza pan, baking sheet, cooking oil, spray, and over two dozen spices make cooking effortless. The dedicated coffee bar, a charming nook separate from the main counter, is a guest favorite, featuring a Keurig for K-cups or fresh-ground coffee (provided, along with filters, a variety of teas, stevia, sugar, honeysticks, and creamer). Wine glasses are available for guests to enjoy their favorite vintage (BYOB), adding a touch of elegance to meals shared at the island or on the deck.
Outdoor Spaces: The expansive wraparound deck, accessible via three sliding doors from the great room and both bedrooms, more than doubles the cabin’s living space, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The front deck, perfect for sipping morning coffee as the sunrise filters through the trees, features cushy loungers, a cushioned daybed, and Adirondack chairs. The rear deck, ideal for sunset views, includes a dedicated dining area and a stainless steel BBQ grill with utensils for sizzling al fresco meals. A private hot tub, surrounded by soft string lights, offers a serene spot for starlit soaks. The large, quiet fire pit area, stocked with plenty of firewood and encircled by Adirondack chairs, invites cozy evenings of marshmallow roasting and storytelling, with subtle pathway lighting guiding the way from the deck. A bench by the front door, paired with coat/leash hooks and a shoe rack, simplifies entry after muddy hikes. The deck’s two gates ensure safety for kids and dogs, with a provided dog bowl and bed enhancing pet comfort. String lights across the rear deck and stairs add a cozy, magical glow to the outdoor experience.
Additional Details: The single-story layout, with 20-foot ceilings throughout, creates an open, airy feel, enhanced by abundant windows and sliding doors that maximize natural light and forest views. The entry area features a small foyer with coat/leash hooks and a shoe rack for practicality. Smart remotes control three mini-split units, ceiling fans, and TVs, with labeled light switches to avoid confusion. The cabin enforces a no-smoking policy (with a $500 ozonation fee for violations) and quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM to preserve the tranquil woodland setting. Check-in and check-out instructions are provided 48 hours in advance. Whether you’re lounging in the great room, cooking in the open kitchen, relaxing in a cozy bedroom, or soaking in the hot tub under starry skies, Acorn Drop Cabin’s spaces are designed to make every moment of your Red River Gorge retreat unforgettable.
