South of Lexington, in the heart of the Bluegrass, our little farm is making a big impact on our community. We raise chickens for eggs and meat, sheep for lamb meat, occasionally turkeys and a wide variety of produce and berries, along with bees for honey. Our peacocks are here for pure pleasure, but we do pick up feathers and design crafts with them from time to time. Whether we're planting seeds, gathering eggs, or rounding up sheep, there's always something happening on the farm. Close by there's lots to do: golfing, fishing, boating, hiking, birding or touring the bourbon trail.

The land that is now Terrapin Hill Farm has been a gathering place over the ages, and we have continued the tradition with music festivals, yoga retreats, weddings, and other celebrations. We believe that getting out in Nature... by camping, hiking, gazing at a campfire or at starry skies... is not only beneficial but necessary to our mental health. That's why we want to share our little slice of heaven with others.

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.

Monkey Monkey Holler

9. Monkey Monkey Holler

11mi from Nicholasville · 2 sites · Tents, Lodging
Welcome to Monkey Monkey Holler! A little slice of riverfront paradise where you can camp, relax, explore, and soak it all in. Enjoy stunning river views, a beautiful willow tree perfect for sunset watching, two fire pits, and a spacious grassy field open for tents of any size. Stairs lead to the river, where you can launch kayaks and paddleboards from our old dock — or take the adventurous route and jump right in! Important safety note: The dock is old and broken (as shown in the pictures). It gets the job done, but it can be very slippery, so extreme caution is needed if you intend to use it. Monkey Monkey Holler is a work in progress, and we will eventually replace the dock with a new one. Have two cars? Drive one up to Kelly’s Landing, launch your kayak or paddleboard, and float the river all the way back to Monkey Monkey Holler, passing beautiful waterfall outcroppings along the way. Guests can also enjoy our outdoor kitchen and whimsical Paradise Patio (shared with the homeowners), complete with an outdoor clawfoot tub and fairy lights. We love meeting new people and hope this feels like a home away from home for our guests. We’d love for you to feel free to join us around the fire in the evenings (when available) — we truly enjoy getting to know our guests, sharing stories, and making everyone feel right at home. Important to note: No monkeys are actually present at this location. We have dreams and future plans of creating a playscape where kids and kids-at-heart can pretend they are monkeys! About the Hosts Meet Your Hosts We’re a small family who feels incredibly lucky to call this beautiful riverside property home. My name is Aizen, and I live here with my sister and her partner, along with my two daughters, ages 8 and 6. We love spending time outdoors, enjoying the river, gathering around the fire, and making the most of this peaceful little corner of nature. We’re happy to share it with our guests and hope you’ll feel comfortable, welcome, and at home during your stay. We’ll be nearby if you need anything, but we also respect your privacy and want you to have plenty of space to relax, explore, and enjoy the river at your own pace.
