A unique transforming A-frame camping cabin occupies a compact area, certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat yard and also recognized as a certified garden and monarch waystation through monarchwatch.org.
TSKY is located 3 miles from Long Bow Boat dock on Cave Run Lake, 10 minutes from the Sheltowee Trace National Recreational Trail, and 18 miles to the adventures in the Red River Gorge. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nature trails and the opportunity to explore in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
There are short hikes within a 20-minute drive each offering its own unique discovery. An arch, an overlook, a cave, and a 60-foot waterfall nestled within a small scenic canyon. With so much natural beauty to explore, your stay at our A-frame camping cabin is a perfect base place to Embrace Nature's Pace.The aframe space is graveled. There are no hookups at this site - no electricity. There is a changing building for guests to utilize if more space is needed.
There is a futon that turns into a full-size bed. (Behind the futon is a memory foam mattress for guest's comfort.) Please bring your own bedding items. (There are no pillows, sheets, comforters, or blankets.)
Guests have a view of the back woods behind the resident's main a-frame cabin where you can learn about other KY mushrooms, plants, trees, and native fruits. When the fruits are in season guests can try a few - elderberries, serviceberries, gooseberries, grapes, strawberries, groundcherries, and more through your purchase as an EXTRA on Hipcamp. On-site by the cabin will be a flower bed of spearmint, mint, lemon balm and lemon grass - please feel free to pick a little and leave a lot for other guests. The plants also aid in deterring insects. (No pesticides or chemicals are ever used!) (***The short trail, in the woods, is CLOSED until further notice. Poison ivy.)
Please know we feed the bees, butterflies, and birds by planting native and specific plants. (***If you are allergic to any species of bee or wasp, we are sorry -perhaps we aren't the right fit. While the honeybees and carpenter bees are generally docile, we want to keep everyone safe. Note: the carpenter bees act bold and fly close to you, however, they are male and do not have stingers.)
While we love the string lights at night - we try to limit light pollution for our friends - the fireflies - early evening. Please feel free to use the lights, however, if you want a spectacular firefly show or to gaze up at the stars - the choice is yours to use the lights or not.
Please know neighbors can be seen from the site from certain areas at TSKY. Just as a campground 'neighbors' can be heard and the residents of the main a-frame may be outside and drive by your site to enter or exit the property. No worries, your space is partially fenced in for privacy. The driveway to the site is graveled with an incline to exit. *The property is not flat... it is sloped.
