Plan your next escape at Fels Haus, our peaceful Cliffview Resort retreat where treetop views, private outdoor spaces, and easy Red River Gorge access all come together. From the moment you walk into the living room and see the wall of windows overlooking the trees, this home feels like a true mountain getaway. Add a private hot tub, firepit, expansive deck, King bedroom with its own balcony, and room for up to 6 guests, and you’ve got the kind of place that makes it very tempting to cancel the itinerary and stay put.
When you are ready to explore, Natural Bridge State Resort Park is only 8 miles, or about 15 minutes, away. Spend the day hiking, climbing, paddling, sightseeing, or chasing your next Gorge adventure, then come home to grill dinner, sink into the hot tub, pour a drink on the deck, and finish the night around the fire. Fels Haus gives you the scenery and atmosphere you came to the Gorge for without sacrificing comfort or convenience.
• Kitchen + Living 🏡
The main level was made for spending time together. Our fully equipped kitchen includes a gas stove and oven, refrigerator/freezer with built-in ice maker, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, drip coffee maker, cookware, dinnerware, and everyday cooking essentials. Coffee and coffee supplies are not provided.
A dining table with room for 6 guests makes meals, card games, and planning tomorrow’s adventure easy. In the living room, settle into the leather sectional and take in one of our favorite features of the entire home: the large window wall showcasing beautiful treeline views. Wi-Fi, a Smart TV, DVD player, additional seating, and a ceiling fan give you everything you need for comfortable downtime.
A utility closet near the kitchen includes a washer and dryer, along with an iron and ironing board for guest use.

The downstairs shower includes several accessibility-friendly features, including a built-in seat and grab rail. If you have specific accessibility questions before booking, please reach out so we can help determine whether our home will be a comfortable fit.
Fresh linens and towels are provided.
• Outdoor Living 🔥
The outdoor spaces at Fels Haus are a big part of what makes staying here feel like a true Gorge getaway. Start the morning with coffee on the spacious deck surrounded by trees, come back from the trails for a long soak in the private hot tub, and fire up the propane grill when nobody feels like leaving again for dinner.
Once evening settles in, gather around the firepit and enjoy a slower kind of night under the Kentucky sky. The upstairs King bedroom also opens to its own private balcony, giving you a quieter spot to enjoy the treeline views away from the main deck.
Firewood is not provided, but it is available for purchase at most local gas stations. We encourage purchasing firewood locally to help prevent the spread of invasive species and protect our beautiful wooded areas. Propane is provided for the grill.
• Duplex-Style Property 🏡
Fels Haus is part of a duplex-style property, but don’t let that scare you off! The adjoining side is used only by the owners and is never rented to another group of guests.
If the owners plan to use their side, we block Fels Haus from booking. That means if your dates are available, the owners will not be staying next door during your reservation. Your rental space and all listed amenities are private to your stay.
• Pet Policy 🐾
Fels Haus is not pet-friendly due to owner allergies. Please do not bring pets to our home. Unauthorized pets may result in a $350 fee.
• Starter Essentials 🧺
We provide an Essential Starter Pack with 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 roll of paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, 3 dishwasher pods, 3 laundry pods, 3 trash bags, and 1 fresh sponge. Please note that these supplies are provided as a starter amount and are not replenished during your stay, so you may want to bring or purchase additional items for longer visits.
• Parking + Access 🚗
Fels Haus is located off a blacktop road with small inclines and is easily accessible by standard 2WD vehicles under normal weather conditions. 4WD is always recommended during winter weather, snow, ice, heavy rain, or other inclement conditions.
Parking is limited to 2 vehicles in the roadside-style parking area directly in front of our home. Trailers are prohibited.
You will receive the exact property address and GPS-friendly directions in your check-in instructions, which are sent via SMS 3 days prior to arrival. Please make sure the phone number on your reservation is valid and able to receive text messages. If you do not receive a confirmation text from us, please reach out so we can make sure you have everything you need before check-in.
• Location 📍
Fels Haus is located inside Cliffview Resort, just 8 miles, or about 15 minutes, from Natural Bridge State Resort Park. Hiking, rock climbing, horseback riding, kayaking, canoeing, zip lines, sightseeing, restaurants, and many of the area’s favorite Red River Gorge attractions are within easy driving distance.
A catch-and-release fishing pond is also located near our home. Please note that the pond is nearby but is not located on our private property.
Fels Haus sits next to Cliffview Lodge. A privacy fence along the back side of our property helps create separation, but you may occasionally notice vehicle or guest traffic associated with the Lodge. We like to make this clear ahead of time so you know exactly what to expect.
🍂 Seasonal Fall Note 🍂
During fall, leaves are actively dropping throughout the Red River Gorge. Our porches, decks, and outdoor spaces are swept and prepared before arrival, but fresh leaves can accumulate quickly—even shortly after housekeeping has finished. A few leaves on outdoor surfaces are a normal part of staying in the woods during autumn and are not an indication that the property was not cleaned.
🌲 A Note About Nature 🌲
You’re staying in the heart of Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, surrounded by the beautiful Appalachian Mountains and all the nature that comes with them. While our cabins are professionally cleaned and routinely treated for pests, occasional insects and other woodland visitors may still make an appearance—especially during warmer months. This is a natural part of staying in a heavily wooded mountain environment and does not necessarily indicate a cleanliness or pest-control issue.
