You pass the bathroom pod and firepit and get to the staircase. Now, this section is not for the fainthearted. The long staircase is very steep. It can be quite a challenge for those who have height issues. Just bear that in mind. The bridge and stairs are all connected in one element.

Once you pass the long staircase, you get to a small deck surrounding a tall tree. You continue on a wooden path and get to the land pathway. After a small walk, you get to the first pod of this Red River Gorge treehouse.

Small stairs and you are at the entrance of this lovely Kentucky treehouse rental.
