Stay inside the landscape.
Six architectural suites on 11.5 private acres in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, beside Daniel Boone National Forest. Three are set into the sandstone and three rise into the hardwood canopy.
A place the land already made.
Most lodging is built near nature. Cavara immerses guests inside it.
Time to unplug and reconnect with nature, each other and ourselves.
World-class climbing, hiking, biking and cave kayaking by day. Quiet, curated luxury by night.
No shared corridors. Treehouses stand apart in the canopy, cave suites are set into the sandstone, and wellness is private and unscheduled.
Phase 1, six suites.
Each with floor-to-ceiling glass facing the gorge.
Held by the rock.
Settle in beside the glass with 350 million years of sandstone around you.
- Untouched sandstone ceilings and walls
- Floor-to-ceiling glass that frames the gorge from inside the rock
- A fireplace for cozy evenings, rain or shine

Out over the edge.
Wake up to the gorge from your bed, with first light coming through the trees.
- A private deck among the hardwoods for morning coffee and quiet evenings
- Private hot tub, sauna and outdoor shower on your own deck
- Outdoor grill area and firepit for dinners under the canopy
