Accomodation advice

Post by **RiddleUK** » Fri May 22, 2009 6:50 am

London calling,

I am coming to sample the delights of Red River Gorge later this year, can any reccomend places to stay that are close by. Its my main holiday of the year and want to avoid camping!
Otherwise hostels, bunkhouses, B&B, something with a good atmpshere, close to the climbing and a hot shower!

Many thanks.

Lil Abners is a hotel...its not the Ritz Carlton by any means but it does meet your criteria. Another option is to rent a cabin at Torrent Falls. Beautiful setting and VERY close to climbing.

You may want to try True North Outfitters. They have a hostel: http://www.truenorthoutfitters.com/TNO_Menu/hostel.html

True north is nice, but if you want something more private a cabin is the way to go. I've never been to any of the cabins, but i hear Red River Outdoors has some decent ones. www.redriveroutdoors.com

Lago Linda's Hideaway is another option and its closed to the southern region were most of the good sport climbing is.

Excellent, many thanks for the advice. Once the dates are set, i'll post again for route suggestions. If anyone is about during the trip you are welcome to join us for some beer and chats.

This article covers most places to stay during your visit, although it neglects to mention Lil Abner's. I'd go for Red River Outdoors, the Hostel, or one of Lago's Cabins. A perk to staying with Red River Outdoors is access to Torrent Falls. Enjoy your trip.

Lago Linda's cabins would be my recommendation. The Red and Green Twin cabins have what you need without being to extravagant. Quiet, nice people and a nice lake to take a dip in after a hard day climbing, plus you get a nice view of the sunset. And if my memory serves me correctly, Linda is from England and she loves the foreign travelers.

Here's the link to their website: http://lagolinda.com/component/option,c ... /Itemid,1/
