The stay is situated in the middle of the property with miles of trails. The Rolling Fork river is a 5 minute drive away for kayaking/fishing. The main house is the Red ranch down the driveway. It is utilized as a lease unit or the owners may be home for the weekend, enjoy sharing the waterside areas with all who stay on the property.

Board games, books, darts, puzzles, are all provided just to encourage putting that phone away and disconnecting from the world while you are Lost on Purpose! Come prepared to want to stay forever.

Guest access
The guests have access to the trails all over the property, the pond for feeding the fish or fishing (catch and release only and please use barbless hooks) Pet the horses, bring them carrots or apples if you like, but be mindful of your fingers near their face, they are animals... they nibble time to time, Wink, wink. Play with the dogs, they are all friendly and well behaved, or try to catch one of the pet squirrels. (You won’t though. Haha) No neighbors, no noise, just relaxation! We do live on the property as well: in the red house- which is about a 1/4 past from the stay location you will be residing, so plenty of privacy! We encourage you to make yourself at home on the entire property, you are free to roam and explore it as if you live here too!!! ***
PETS CLAUSE: Any time you plan to bring your fur-child along we ask that they be supervised by you, being with you at all times; please crate your pet while you are not with them inside and are not there to supervise them in person. Do not leave any pet unattended in the cabin unless you have brought a crate along to place them in while unsupervised. Any pet invited on your trip does require the pet reservation fee to be paid prior to your stay. We do not permit cats to be outdoors at this location. There are hunting dogs that live nearby, they will and have killed cats.
We have coded doorways and the access code is given the day of arrival. This property is very secure, a gated entrance keeps everyone else away. No one is on or near the property unless invited or a reserved guest. You are very safe and have no need to worry about anything on this stay but where you will choose to take your next nap.
Please clean up after yourselves at check out. Put everything back as it was, including washed dishes, empty trash to the bins outside the unit and turn the AC unit, coffee pot, fireplace and fan off.

Options:

You can tour the property. Hike the trails, fish the pond, pet the horses, play fetch with the dogs or just relax in a hammock!

You could also choose a personal tour guide service;Typically at a rate of $40 per hour. Kayaks and paddle rentals are $25. Each per day, and you must be able to haul them yourself. River access is only 5 minutes from the property in New Haven Firewood is available. And if you are willing to forage, there’s plenty to gather on your own too. Any dead down wood is free to be used for fires. Please make sure your fires are completely extinguished before leaving. All trash is picked up, and the gate is latched back behind you when you exit

Other things to note
This property is rustic in design on purpose. It is not your typical Airbnb “hotel” feel. If that’s more up your alley, it’s probably not for you. We live in the country with sticks, ticks, and weeds. While we cherish sharing this paradise retreat with all, it is not for everyone. Not all want to sleep in the country and drive on a gravel road, so please know that when you book with us, it is remote, eccentric, rough around the edges and diverse. We do supply enough essentials for your stay so that you do not have to pack them yourself, including towels, toilet paper, paper towels, coffee and creamer, salt and pepper. If you anticipate needing or using more during your stay, or it extends beyond a 3 day period, please be sure to bring along with you these extra essentials in case you feel you need more than the basic amount provided. Please read all descriptions and details prior to booking so you can book with confidence in your choice to stay on our farm. We truly want you to have a great experience and enjoy your stay, if it’s not your cup of tea, we’d prefer to help you find somewhere else to stay closer to town.

We review every request personally before acceptance. Please include details for your request to stay on our little slice of paradise. Peak season requires a 2 night minimum booking.
