Don't Forget about These Luxury Vacation Rentals
September 21, 2007. Sometimes, those destinations off the beaten path can be the most rewarding. We thought we'd compile a list of places you might have forgotten about, or perhaps never heard of…
Red River Gorge, Kentucky – Sandstone bluffs, arches, overhangs and other rock formations create a fantastic landscape in this little slice of the Bluegrass State. The Red River Gorge Geological Area has some of the best hiking in the state. A chair lift at Natural Bridge State Park whisks visitors to the top of one of the largest rock bridges in the country. Nearby outfitters also offer rock climbing lessons, canoeing and horseback rides.
Western Pennsylvania – A variety of surprises are hidden away in the hills of Western Pennsylvania. Hidden Valley Ski Area offers winter getaways, while the Golf Club at Hidden Valley draws summer patrons. Architect Andrew Lloyd Wright's most famous house, Fallingwater, welcomes visitors. And a tour of the Glades Pike Winery will almost certainly see you leave with a few souvenirs.
Bend, Oregon – Nestled at the base of the Central Cascades, this small college town has become a hip enclave for artists, California refugees and outdoorsy types. By day, choose from any outdoors pursuit you can imagine, from golf to hiking to fly fishing. In the evening, sample the local microbreweries and go shopping in the surprisingly large downtown district.
