Big Laurel is a working cattle farm on land that has been in our family for 4 generations. The farm consists of 370 acres of bottomland pasture along the creek and quiet woodlands where you can explore jagged rock cliffs and beautiful vistas. The woodlands are undergoing transformation as we continue an ongoing forest rehabilitation project to return our land to its natural state as a deciduous hardwood forest. Spotted on the farm is an amazing abundance of wildlife including wild turkeys, white tailed deer, pileated woodpeckers, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, bear, and red tailed hawks.

West Virginia’s Coolest, Newest, Vacation Cabin Rental and Hip Camping Resort! The idea for creating a cabin rental/camping vacation getaway in the Allegheny Mountain Range came to life over several meetings at a Bob Evans restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, between co-owners Paul Liimatta and Joe Boffo. Joe had been accumulating land in the Genoa, West Virginia, area for several years and had dreamed of building cabins, tree houses and uniquely designed vacation rentals and campsites on a beautiful area called Hampton Ridge. Come and judge for yourself ;)

Tucked along the mountainous region of southeastern Kentucky, Carr Creek Lake is located near at least half a dozen outdoor sights just waiting to be visited. Bury your toes at the sandy beach or launch a boat off to discover uncharted waters. A marina and conveniently located fishing facilities make this place a boon for anglers looking for that next bite. If you want to scout out wildlife on one of the hiking or interpretive trails, it shouldn't be too hard to find so long as you keep a pair of binoculars handy. Once you're ready to broaden your prospects, consider visiting the Red River Gorge, Lilly Cornett Woods, or the Kentucky River. With the prospects of such abundant beauty all around you, we think a road trip is in order!

It was perfect spot to base camp for Pine Mountain Trail and Bad Branch Falls area. Safe and Steve the host was very knowledgeable about the area and upgraded our primitive camp to a cabin as it is really off season for them.
