Even a relaxing vacation in nature could use a few thrills.<\/p>\n
The Cliff Dweller, a unique stay on Airbnb, is a perfect stay for people who love a bit of adventure (and a chance to unplug from city life). This home is bolted high above the canopy, suspended from a cliff above Red River Gorge, Kentucky.<\/p>\n
In order to access this home, you actually have to journey up "several hundred" stairs, which means, in addition to being a breathtaking view at the top, it's also a stay that is more appropriate for adults who are comfortable with some exercise. Luckily, by the look of the photos on Airbnb, they are not too steep of a climb and there is a landing area where you can take a break before continuing to the top.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But once you're at the top, you'll be rewarded with a beautiful view of the gorge and a comfortable, modern house that has all the comforts of home. The home has one bedroom with a queen-sized bed and another queen-sized bed in a common area, making it an excellent stay for two, but with room for four. There's even air conditioning.<\/p>\n
The bathroom is outfitted with a standing shower and the kitchen comes with all utensils and dinnerware, a refrigerator, and a hotplate for cooking. There is also a small seating area in the kitchen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Plus, above the bedroom, you can climb up a ladder to a rooftop that makes for a great viewing area. It's no wonder why this place has a five-star rating by past guests. And if you're looking for a working-vacation, this stay also has a dedicated workspace. It is important to note that Wi-Fi is not included, so bringing a personal hotspot may be required – in case you don't want to totally unplug.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nightly rates for this stay begin at $323, and long-term stays are allowed. There is limited availability in June and July, with more open availability starting in August (at the time this article was written).<\/p>\n
