Lexington Real Estate Meetup (March2026)

An Exclusive Real Estate Meetup + Live Interview with Red River Gorge Investing Experts Jacqueline Townsend & Jesse Cronin

Some places just stick with you.

The Red River Gorge is one of those places. For a lot of people, it starts as a weekend escape… then slowly turns into “I wonder if we could own something there someday.”

A cabin. A short-term rental. A piece of land that turns into something bigger down the road.

At this month’s Lexington Real Estate Meetup, we’re having a conversation about exactly that.

We’ll be sitting down for a live interview with Red River Gorge investment specialists Jacqueline Townsend and Jesse Cronin. They work with buyers and investors in the Gorge every day and understand the unique dynamics of the market—from STR cabins to long-term land investments.

The goal of the evening is simple: give people a clear, honest look at what’s happening in the Gorge right now and what it actually takes to get involved.

What We’ll Cover

During the conversation, Jacqueline and Jesse will share insights on:

• What investment opportunities currently look like in the Red River Gorge

• Where the market is headed and what’s driving demand

• Creative financing options that make Gorge ownership more accessible

• ROI potential for cabins, short-term rentals, land, and longer-term holds

• What buyers and investors should know before jumping in

Whether you're an experienced investor, someone considering a second home, or just curious about what it takes to own something in the Gorge, you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s possible.

Food + Community

Pizza will be provided.

Drinks will be available for purchase.

Because conversations about real estate tend to go a lot better over food.

This will be a smaller, relaxed gathering. Expect a mix of agents, investors, aspiring buyers, and people who simply love the Gorge and want to learn more about owning there.

Why We’re Featuring Jacqueline Townsend & Jesse Cronin

Jacqueline and Jesse have helped many buyers successfully navigate the Gorge market. They understand both the opportunity and the realities of investing there, and they bring a practical approach to financing and property strategy.

They’re also just great people to learn from.

Who Should Attend

This meetup is a great fit for:

• Investors exploring new opportunities

• Buyers interested in second homes or short-term rentals

• Anyone dreaming about owning a cabin in the Gorge

• Real estate professionals who want to connect with others in the industry

Reserve Your Spot

Space will be limited so the conversation can stay interactive and worthwhile.

We’re looking forward to a great evening of conversation, learning, and connection.
