Rustic Camper Cabin - Near Ark

100%

(22)

Cabin · Sleeps 4 · 2 beds · 1 toilet

Feel refreshed when you stay in this rustic gem. You'll find yourself nestled next to the woods on the ridge of our beautiful family farm. This listing features a newly converted pop up camper cabin. Truly a one of a kind. Enjoy over 200 acres by hiking our hills, pond fishing, swimming the creek, grilling some steaks all while sipping on some fine Bourbon. Everything has been updated with all the modern amenities while still providing that rustic appeal you've been looking to experience. I personally service the bathroom area everyday to make sure things stay nice and clean for you during your stay. Your cabin is capable of sleeping up to four people. There's two cozy full size beds, with one bed slightly smaller than the other. The cabin itself does not have an attached bathroom. However, I've custom-built a shower and bathroom that sits conveniently located in our barn right next to where you'll be parking your vehicle. The barn and restroom area is a short walk to the cabin, not more than 30 yards. I personally service the bathroom area every day to make sure things stay nice and clean for you during your stay. Picture a campground with a bath house. That's what we've built for you to enjoy while staying in your camper cabin. You'll enjoy your privacy and will love the open feel the shower provides! You'll also enjoy a sitting area inside the cabin that features a 32" smart TV. Wifi is provided while staying in the cabin, and you can watch the provided channels or connect to your own streaming platforms to enjoy your favorite shows. The sitting area in the cabin also consists of two tables for you to use while eating or even playing a game of cards. Also included with your stay is an outdoor dining area I've built in the barn. I've called it the Barnhouse Pantry. The pantry sits next to your bathroom in the barn. I have snacks, drinks, ice, and firewood available in case you're in need. You'll also have a dedicated refrigerator in the pantry for you to use during your stay. This particular area is open to other guests who are also staying in other cabins on the property but mostly geared for your personal use.

Soak up the vintage and rustic charm of this fully renovated shipping container cabin. Nestled next to the woods, you'll enjoy a private stay on the ridge of our rolling hills. Explore over 200 acres, go fishing in the creek, throw some steaks on the grill, sit back and relax while sipping on some local Kentucky bourbon. This is a custom built container cabin with treasures used from all over our farm. Our latest addition is a brand new memory foam mattress! The space The shipping container used is a vintage container from the early 80's. Everything used to build the container came from our farm. The wood I used inside came from an old barn that once housed Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels! Buffalo Trace is only a 45 minute drive from our property. This container cabin is truly one of a kind. Enjoy! Guest access We have 200 acres of land to you can explore while staying with us. We have a pond and a large creek that runs right through the property. We have beautiful rolling hills that make for a great landscape to enjoy the sunrise and sunset. We have distilleries, lakes, wineries, restaurants, convenience stores and just about anything else you'll need close by. A detailed ledger of activities and amenities will be provided upon arrival. Other things to note Just to note! The cabin is capable of sleeping up to 4 people. You'll notice in the pictures that when the main bed is folded down, the couch under the main bed is also a space available to sleep. It's a little tight, but im a big guy, and im able to make it work for myself. You'll also notice the upper bed over the main bed. The upper bed is a little smaller than the main bed, but it's more than enough for 2 people to cozy up to one another. I just wanted to share all the options for sleeping arrangements so you can see for yourself whether our accommodation will work for you. All in all, this is an amazing little cabin with a ton of charm. You'll enjoy your stay for sure!

We loved camping at Handyland! Josh was very helpful with all of our questions and the property is beautiful. Our dogs enjoyed running around off leash and splashing in the creek.

Josh meet us as we arrived and explained everything that we needed to know. The views are absolutely stellar and well maintained. Everything that was there that was needed, power 50amp, showers and water to fill jugs. My wife and I enjoyed everything and my dog loved being free to play and run. My wife and will definitely come back when we are in the area again. We paid for 4 days but only stayed to nights and still think every second was worth it. Thank you Josh
