About the host
Hosted by Anna Carman
My husband Jonathan and I love the outdoors (rock climbing, kayaking, caving, rappelling), visiting new places and trying new food! I like to keep things neat and tidy and want to live life to the fullest with community!

Why they chose this property
You've reached our favorite place in the world - the end of the road! Awaiting you is the beautiful Kentucky River and its palisades (exposed rock cliffs). As you enter the neighborhood keep an eye out for a happy black lab that loves to bark at and chase cars.
There's a great mix of long-time (generations!) locals who are a fixture of the Highbridge community and newcomers (like us) who live full or part-time along the river-bottom. It's our favorite getaway!
Your stay is very close to Highbridge, an active railroad bridge.
When built in 1877, High Bridge was the highest railroad trestle in the world. As part of the busiest north-south route in the nation, it is still used heavily today.
We don't notice the train noise anymore but if you're a light sleeper, consider a sound machine app on your phone or earplugs.
If you go for walk, know that the pups who live on the street are free and friendly, though they will likely do their job and bark at you.
There is a remote possibility of the road being flooded during the winter. We will of course be happy to work with you if you need to cancel your booking due to flooding. It doesn't always happen but it is part of the adventure of living next to a river!
