EarthJOY Village is a magical, family- and nature‑oriented retreat nestled on a 285-acre privately fenced farm in Brooksville, KY (near Germantown), combining whimsical tree‑house stays, forest adventure, and event space. Here's a picturesque snapshot of what makes it unique: --- 🏡 Unique Accommodations Pete Treehouse – Designed by tree‑house expert Pete Nelson (of The Kentucky Climber’s Cottage fame), this original cabin features a hammock lounge, a cozy loft with a king bed and hammocks, an indoor movie theatre, and rustic charm. Sleeps up to 6 (2 adults + kids). Aliyah Treehouse – Built in 2016, it's the tallest treehouse on the property. Highlights include a living‑room tree, swinging bridge, interior/exterior swings, and hammocks. Perfect for families with older children; sleeps up to 6. Hickory Treehouse – Crafted by local artisans from family‑inspired carpentry, it’s designed for younger kids and features slides, swings, a slack‑line, climbing nets/walls, and hammocks. Sleeps up to 6. Love Bus “Schoolie” Skoolie – A quirky, converted school‑bus lodging with hot tub, outdoor movie theatre setup, fridge and simple amenities. A cozy retreat for couples or small families. Sleeps 2 adults + 2 kids. --- 🌲 Trails & Outdoor Adventure Twenty‑plus miles of themed trails wind through forests, creeks, ponds, and features like hobbit‑houses, heart trails, cabins and hidden spots. Great for hiking, biking, creek‑walking, and exploration. Guided tree‑climbing sessions led by professionals add excitement—climb into the canopy safely while learning about nature. --- ⚙️ Amenities & Facilities Composting toilets near each treehouse (5-second walk); private bathroom/shower about 3–5 minutes away next to the farmhouse. Electricity is provided for lights, phone charging, and coffee maker, but there's no Wi‑Fi—cell service (Verizon/AT&T) generally works well. Kitchenettes come with mini‑fridge, stove, basic cookware, dishes, coffee maker, and freshwater tanks/refill station. Pet‑friendly environment (up to 2 dogs per stay, $50 fee each).

Semi rustic for outdoor adventure enthusiast. Located on the gorgeous Earthjoy tree Adventures, our skoolie (converted tiny house) features a secluded piece of heaven. Fenced in yard for worry free time with dogs and kids. Queen bed, kids loft, & couch for 2 adults and 2 kids under 12 Running water, refrigerator Kitchen with stove & sink. Outdoor shower & Camp toilet. Fire pit & Old time tobacco barn picnic area attached. 285 acres of exploring. For those wanting an “off-the-grid nature experience” Best for two adults and two kids under 12 this is a BUS, be aware for height considerations. not suitable for tall people unless you are adaptable. Please note that it is also in a TOBACCO BARN it smells like old wood (most people love this) there is also a dirt floor in the tobacco barn, leading to some dust. if this is something that will bother you we don't recommend the Schoolie. Well heated and cozy! The schoolie is situated at the entry of Earthjoy. Parked 1/2 way inside a Kentucky tobacco barn. This will be your home base as you explore the 200 acres of trails. Experience tiny home living in a full size renovated school bus. This is truly an outdoor experience. You’ll enjoy the 285 acres (see map in photos) and you can also book a tree climb, hike the heart trail and the hobbit treehouse trail, Jacobs Ladders trail where you bring a chime and hang it in memory of a loss. Play corn hole, build a fire, Kids fish pond, go on a scavenger hunt to find the five ponds, explore an abandoned 1800s settlers log cabin, and wade and play in several cool creeks! ( Weather dependent) Our favorite place to visit is downtown [xxxxxxxx]. Augusta is hometown to George Clooney. Visit his mom’s antique shop Nina’s. Eat at the Irish Pub. Get an ice cream for desert next to pizza place. Walk along the Ohio River and check out the historical homes or take a Ferry ride. Maysville Kentucky is another favorite. City of [xxxxxxxx]. Eat at DeShas or visit downtown Maysville

My wife, myself and our two dogs stayed 2 nights, in 2 different of the treehouse locations. Absolutely beautiful, well maintained. What a wonderful place. They made it so easy to check in, yet secure with lock codes they send you. Loved our visit
