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.

4 nights at The Harrican Lakehouse

I can't say enough about this wonderful experience! Upon arrival, the host, Brigitte, greeted us with her sweet dogs! She was so pleasant and welcoming! The house itself sits on its own little pond/lake which has kayaks/canoes for use. At night the bullfogs were the most peaceful sound! We enjoyed exploring the grounds and the tranquility of the setting. The beds were comfortable and the house nice and tidy. I would highly recommend this spot!

Absolutely amazing little lake house! It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The home was cozy, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was incredibly helpful, kind, and responsive throughout our visit. We truly enjoyed our time here and would definitely return in the future! A helpful tip for future guests: the lake house is about 30 minutes away from the nearest stores, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and bring any essentials you may need. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great getaway!

If you are looking for seclusion and off the grid without interruptions. This is your place. I would say they have dogs that greet you at the entrance and chase your car. So if you have a very reactive dog like we do it wasn't a good experience. Once you get past that it's awesome. I would say it comfortably sleeps five people.

Weekend Trip to The Harrican Lakehouse

We loved our stay at the Harrican lakehouse. It is so secluded and quiet making it a great place to unplug and unwind. It rained most of the weekend but we didn’t care, the large covered porch kept us dry and was the perfect spot to relax and watch our dog play in the lake. My advice about the property: it is remote so pack in all the food you need. A trip to town will be take a while. The house does have steep stairs that lead to the bedrooms and the only bathroom in the house. We didn’t have any issues with it, but it could be an issue for those with limited mobility. Overall, this is a great, unique place to spend a weekend (or longer) if you are looking for a peaceful and quiet place to relax and unwind. I would highly recommend.

The place was wonderful. Fishing was good, nature was even better! Wonderful veiws. Very good service if you needed something.

$50, before fees. That's what this cost. I've paid upwards of $200 for other accommodations that are equivalent.

I'm a nature, loving person. I love hiking and gardening and being outside. But homegrown was such an all-inclusive experience that I miss it in a way that has made my normal work day weird. I will be going back, I will stay in every available housing. This is part of my life now.

We had an absolutely wonderful time here! This place far exceeded our expectations, and the photos simply can't capture its true charm. You really need to see it for yourself. It’s a true love nest. If you're seeking a space that combines simplicity with elegance—where you and your loved one can feel secure and secluded—this is it. The only thing I’d suggest is adding Wi-Fi, as there's no cell service here.
