The Layout:



Main Level — Open & Inviting

Step inside to find an airy, open floor plan designed for comfort and connection. A retro-inspired kitchen has everything you need to whip up a feast, while the cozy living area invites you to kick back and enjoy the view. The queen-sized bedroom features a memory foam mattress for the best sleep of your life, and the full bath has a tub and shower combo, perfect for refreshing after a long day in the gorge. There's even a walk-in closet and laundry room for convenience.



Loft — Chill, Sleep, Stretch



A floating staircase leads to the open loft above, a laid-back hideout with two twin beds, plush bean bag chairs, and a dedicated yoga deck complete with mats, blocks, and a foam roller. The best way to start your day? Sun salutations and a sunrise view. The loft sleeping area was designed with tiny home intentionality — an angled ceiling that wraps around you like a treehouse hideaway, accessed by custom Italian-imported stairs. It’s the kind of space that makes older kids and teens feel like they got the best spot in the house. (They did.) Best suited for children and younger teens rather than adults who need full standing room or very young children. (Note: The loft is open-style with a railing rather than a closed-door bedroom — charming, airy, and perfect for the laid-back traveler.)



Lower Level — Cozy Vibes & Entertainment



Rainy day? Lazy morning? This level has you covered with high ceilings, reading nooks, and plenty of room to lounge. Flip through a book from the curated collection, spin some vinyl on the record player, or challenge your crew to a board game showdown. If movies are more your speed, the Amazon Fire TV has all your streaming favorites. A half-bath and sliding doors to the hammock zone make this level a vibe all its own.



Step Outside



Out here, nature steals the show. Sink into the hot tub and let the starlit sky work its magic, or start your morning with coffee on the wraparound deck while watching the forest wake up. Nights by the fire pit with a drink in hand? Non-negotiable.



Experience Every Season



Canopy 7 changes with the land, and every season brings something worth showing up for.

🌿 Spring — The gorge wakes up green. Wildflowers bloom, waterfalls are at their fullest, and the trails are quiet before the crowds arrive. PLUS there are dogwoods around the house that burst into bloom in the spring!

☀️ Summer — Long days, cool shade, and the hot tub under a warm night sky. Peak adventure season.

🍂 Fall — This is the one. October in Red River Gorge is legendary. The ridgelines explode with gold, orange, and crimson — and Canopy 7's wall of windows puts you front-row. Book early.

❄️ Winter — Stripped back, quiet, and raw. The fire pit hits different when there's a chill in the air.



Remote Work-Friendly (If You Must)



Need to check in with reality? Don't worry, high-speed fiber optic WiFi and a dedicated workspace make it easy to balance work and play. Plus, being perched on a ridge, cell service is typically strong.



Traveling with a larger crew?



Canopy 7 and Canopy 9 sit side by side on the same 140-acre property. Two complete, private cabins designed for groups who want to be together without being on top of each other. Share the fire pit, split into your own spaces at night, and have the whole gorge to yourselves. Ask about booking both.



What You Should Know



✓ Self check-in & checkout — it's your adventure, we won't slow you down.

✓ A locked owner's closet is the only off-limits space.

✓ Ring camera at the entryway — zero view of the hot tub, because privacy matters.

✓ Fast WiFi, great cell service, and a cabin designed for getting off the grid (if you want to).

✓ No pets, no exceptions — we love 'em, but this stay is pet-free.

✓ A damage deposit hold is required to book.

✓ Well-maintained gravel road — easily accessible for any vehicle.

✓ City water supply — clean, safe, and reliable.

✓ Nature note: The property borders wild land with steep terrain and natural features. Stay on stable ground, respect local wildlife, and practice Leave No Trace — pack out what you bring in.

✓ Setting expectations: Canopy 7 sits within a community of like-minded nature retreats. You'll enjoy real privacy — just not total isolation. Think curated escape, not remote wilderness. Neighbors exist; they're just quiet ones.



Guest Access



This treetop retreat is all yours, from the wraparound deck to the hot tub, hammocks, and every cozy nook inside. Stretch out, settle in, and make yourself at home.



The only off-limits spot? A locked owner's closet, because even adventurers need a place to stash their gear. Other than that, roam free, relax hard, and soak in every bit of this one-of-a-kind escape.

This is your space. Enjoy it, explore it, and make it unforgettable.



Other Things to Note



Eco-Friendly & Built to Last



Canopy 7 was designed with sustainability in mind, solar-conscious design, thermal mass heating & cooling, and superior insulation. Adventure should feel good, without harming the wild places that make it special.



Unplug, Explore & Leave No Trace



This property is set on 140 private acres of raw, untamed land. Unlike traditional hiking trails, freestyle exploration is encouraged, wander through the trees, stumble upon hidden rock formations, or follow the sound of waterfalls. While adventure is welcome, we ask all guests to respect the land and leave it as they found it.
