Abi's Arboreal Abode & Hammock Haven is a 15' yurt nestled like a bird-nest 10' off the ground in a grove of walnut trees with an adjacent outhouse. There is a bunk-bed with full-size futon bottom bunk, single top bunk, and a single trundle. This rental has electric, heat, and air, but is still just a tent so it can get hot/cold./damp. There is a centrally-located, shared-use kitchen and a seasonal (Apr - Nov) bath house with showers. BOOKING AFTER NOV. 1, 2020? READ SPECIAL NOTICE!

The space
SPECIAL NOTICE FOR GUESTS BOOKING AFTER NOVEMBER 1, 2020 - we're making improvements! We are dismantling the Courtesy Kitchen and building a new and improved event facility which we hope to have completed by late spring/early summer of 2021! The new space will be a year-round, CLIMATE-CONTROLLED, shared-use space with state-of-the-art kitchen, indoor dining, full bath, coin-laundry, and other amenities. HOWEVER, this means there will be NO KITCHEN AVAILABLE DURING CONSTRUCTION. Feel free to follow HomeGrown HideAways on social media for updates. Please prepare to be self-sufficient or enjoy our local restaurants. Message us with any questions.

HomeGrown HideAways is a hundred acre holler in the beautiful Red Lick Valley near Berea, Ky. We have all the good (beautiful views, babbling brook, hiking trails) and the bad (insects, noisy roosters, poison ivy) that nature has to offer so come prepared. We recommend hiking boots, bug spray, and jackets for cool nights.

The treehouse has a bunk-bed with a single mattress on the top and a full-size futon on the bottom. There is also a trundle with a single-sized mattress that pulls out from under the bunk-bed. The beds have sheets, pillows, and cotton blankets. There is a small patio table and two chairs outside and a drop-leaf dining table with four fold-away chairs inside the treehouse. Spring water is provided.

The treehouse is equipped with electricity, heat, and air conditioning. There is an attic fan in the roof to enhance the ventilation, but please remember that the yurt is just an over-sized tent. Even with the heat and AC, it can be hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and be a little leaky if the rain falls hard and the wind blows the wrong direction. It's camping!

There is a spiral staircase to access the treehouse deck, but we have also installed an electric lift for getting your belongings up to the platform. There's a firepit, 2 hammocks, and a picnic table. There's an outhouse next to the treehouse, but also a rustic seasonal bath house (April - Nov) with showers and flushers.

Firewood bundles are for sale at the Courtesy Kitchen or you can scavenge the forest for dead wood. Due to the invasive Emerald Ash Borer, we ask that you please do not bring in firewood and DO NOT burn anything that isn't a wood or paper product. Plastic, glass, and metal are not only toxic, but ILLEGAL to burn.

Location

Berea, Kentucky, United States

HomeGrown HideAways is on a narrow and curvy 2 mile dead-end road, nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians. Some folks aren't used to country roads, but just take it slow and arrive before dark whenever possible.

The nearest stores are the Big Hill Marathon and the Dollar General (about 6 miles away). Berea is 12 miles and Richmond is 18 miles. Tater Knob pottery is about 3 miles from the farm. Tater Knob open Monday - Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed New Year's Day, Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Prepare to UNPLUG. No cell service, no wifi, just nature (but you can easily find us on the world wide web)! HomeGrown HideAways is a hundred-acre holler near Berea, Ky. It is owned and operated by Nathan & Jessa Turner, Jessa's mom, and a variety of pets and wildlife. All guests have access to our Courtesy Kitchen which has a telephone, COFFEE, and all major appliances (oven, stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, sink, and a few dishes). It's nothing glamorous, but it can beat trying to cook on a fire in the rain! We'd definitely encourage you to go into Berea for some of the great food options there. We have a hiking trail, several fire pits, and are just 6 miles from Get Outside Ky where you can rent kayaks. We do not have tv, internet, or cell reception. There are as many stars as there are bugs so come prepared for both! The farm's bath house is open from April through October (or whenever temps remain above freezing for an extended period of time) and features 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. Winter guests can use one of our three, luxurious outhouses, but won't have access to showers. We ask that you leave your pets at home, but you are welcome to snuggle ours. If you don't like dogs, our place may not be a good fit for you since our critters get pretty excited to meet new guests and may jump on you (we promise we're working on training). For those with service animals (ESAs are not allowed), please be aware that there are coyotes, hawks, and other wildlife that might be a danger and we cannot guarantee how our dogs might react to your assistant. Please chat with us ahead of time to make sure we're the right option for you. We love sharing our beautiful farm and hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

During your stay
We live on the property so unless we're out running errands, we are typically home and easily accessible if you need us. When possible, we try to give a farm tour to all our guests when they arrive so they know where to find everything they might need (dishes, firewood, etc). After that, we generally leave you in peace unless you need something from us. We wake early and sleep early so knock loudly after 9 pm if you need assistance.

The residents of HomeGrown HideAways recognize that you're probably visiting our farm to escape the daily hustle and bustle of regular life and might be looking for some peace and quiet away from other humans. No worries! While you are likely to see residents puttering around the farm doing chores, you're under no obligation to make chit-chat with us (unless, of course, you need something). On the flip-side, we'll never turn away anyone that wants to keep us company while we weed the garden!

We are a working farm so sometimes you can expect to hear things like tractors, chainsaws, roosters, barking dogs, coyotes, etc. We can't do anything about the roosters or coyotes, but if you want a relaxing afternoon nap in the hammock, just let us know and we'll work on quieter chores.
