Group trip

Weekend Trip to Nicura Ranch

Laura & Nick were so so so kind and welcoming and we loved staying here! The space was clean, we got to meet all the animals and they had great amenities. We will definitely be back 💗

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

It was a pleasure to meet Jessa and her husband. Thanks for.sheltering us in a storm. I love your place!

4 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

Amazing as always! We had a group of 50 there in all types of camping (campers, tents, treehouses, etc). Everyone had a great time and we were able to both gather as a group and have some fruitful family time. Looking forward to coming back!

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Excellent place to unwind and relax! We opted to camp in the field under a star filled sky. It was a beautiful and relaxing evening. The community barn is top notch! We can’t wait to stay again!

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

Jessa and Nathan have created a beautiful space for quiet, and community. We stayed four years ago and were amazed at all they've accomplished in that time. We've camped both times and loved our experience. Next time we'd love to stay in one of the thoughtfully built structures.

7 nights at Pine Tree RV Park

Lovely location. Pretty and serene area. We had everything we needed and enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Weekend Trip to HomeGrown HideAways

We tent camped for one night, but wish we had time to stay longer! Fantastic hosts and amazing amenities. Close to great hiking at The Pinnacles and fun times exploring Berea. The area is beautiful, quiet and exactly what we were looking for in a quick break away from the city. We highly recommend and hope to return someday!

4 nights at HomeGrown HideAways

My kids and I had a wonderful time over their fall break at Homegrown Hideaways. I cannot recommend it enough! It’s perfect for any level of camping, from primitive sites to BYO RV to renting one or staying in a treehouse or a yurt or in our case the Nook bunkhouse. Everything was super clean and the chefs kitchen was a godsend for making hot meals. It’s a choose your own adventure kind of place— cook over a fire if you want— there’s firewood and starter, or just make s’mores and cook the rest of your food inside. Bringing our own food and having fridge and freezer space to store it made it possible to have a very delightful and economical 4 night stay! Jessa and Nathan work really hard to make the place accessible and welcoming. They’re wonderful people! My kids really enjoyed rock hounding in the creek beds, hiking around the property, and playing board games in the game room. We would definitely return and have already recommended it highly to everyone we’ve met since. The other campers we met while there were all also very kind and fun to hang out with! Jessa and Nathan were very accommodating and wonderful hosts.

HomeGrown HideAways

15 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents100 acres · Berea, KY

HomeGrown HideAways is a farm, lodging, and event facility nestled in a hundred-acre holler in the Appalachian foothills near Berea, Ky. Our lodging features treehouses, yurts, a bunkhouse, retro camper, water/electric hook-ups, and campsites. We also host weddings, retreats, and other events so advance reservations are required. For insurance purposes and the safety of our own livestock and pets, we do not allow guests to bring their pets/ESAs onto the property. Prepare to UNPLUG as we do not have cell service or wifi (there IS a landline for guests to make phone calls located in the Community Farmhouse). All guests from tent to treehouse have access to our solar-powered Community Farmhouse featuring a fully-stocked chef-inspired kitchen, restrooms, coin-op laundry, and upstairs multi-purpose room with a library and board games. There is also an outdoor kitchen area with additional cooking space including a grill, microwave, and sink (sink is closed in the winter so the pipes don’t freeze). Next to the Farmhouse is a massive pavilion with picnic tables for al fresco dining and firewood bundles to purchase. BRING CASH! Our seasonal bath house is generally open from April or May to October or November based on the prevailing temps. There are 4 flush toilets, 2 sinks, and 2 hot showers. The floors are concrete so we recommend shower shoes and you'll want to bring your own towels and shampoo/soap. The farm has a small playground, yard games, creeks, and a steep and rugged hiking trail that loops the mountain. We're also just 8 miles from the hiking trails at the Berea College Pinnacles, 8 miles to Owsley Fork Reservoir, 20 minutes to Anglin Falls, 12 miles to Berea, 35 minutes to Richmond, Ky, and a scenic hour to Red River Gorge. For other activities, restaurants, shopping, music, and more, we're happy to share our favorites, but highly recommend checking out the Berea Tourism website.
