Named for a favorite Soul Coughing song, "Super Bon Bon," lets you immerse in nature without roughing it. Wake up in the woods in a cozy bed! Plush amenities inside -- queen bed + bunk bed, lamps, rugs, a heater/fan, vintage chaise lounge, table & chairs, coffeemaker -- and camping must-haves outside -- like a private fire pit, picnic table and grates for cooking over the fire, equip you for a magical weekend. Short walk from Community Shelter & Bath house with flush toilets and hot showers.

The space
Super Bon Bon is secluded, yet close to amenities like the Community Shelter, which provides a a sink and outdoor shower, as well as useful cooking items: charcoal grill, refrigerator, electric burner, coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans and tongs. The Shelter also has a dartboard and other games to play. In the event of rain, this is the only covered shelter (beyond the Yome itself) that guests have access to. The Yome does not have a covered porch.

We also have a grate system that allows you to cook over the open fire (grates are hanging from a tree near your fire pit).

A regularly maintained port-o-potty is nearby, and our full Bath House is a short walk away.

There is no running water in the yome, but we have provided a 5 gallon jug with dispenser.

The queen bed has soft, comfy linens, and the bunk beds have sleeping bags. We can provide sheets for the bunk beds upon request. Please bring your own towels.

The main trail to the lake starts just past the Community Shelter, and there are other trails located throughout the property that take you to a natural spring and along the multiple creeks that flow down into Lake Cumberland. You might even spot a Yeti!

SEASONAL NOTE: During late spring and early summer, the level of the lake is often high and our rocky beach space is limited. Sometimes the water is up into the treeline. There are other places nearby to access the water, however. Please see our Guidebook for more info.

Guest access
Parking is located right next to the yome.

Our main hiking trail to the lake takes about 15 minutes to walk. Because you are descending (or ascending) a ridge, it is steep in places and may be challenging for small kids and elderly adults. There are other places to access the water listed in our Guidebook.

Other things to note
OUR LAKE ACCESS
We have one main hiking trail to the lake that starts at the back of the property near the Community Shelter. It will take about 15 minutes to get to the water, where there is a rocky beach to hang out and swim from. Because you are descending (or ascending) a ridge, it is steep in places and may be challenging for small kids and elderly adults.

Things that will make your experience most enjoyable: Water shoes (not flip flops), floats/lifejackets.

PLEASE NOTE: During spring and early summer, the water levels are higher and there may be limited beach area. But, there are other places to access the lake nearby.

We are located within 40 miles of some of the region's most awe-inspiring attractions, like Cumberland Falls. Check out our Guidebook for more details.
