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.

Dispersed Tent Camping in our Field

100% (38)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
HomeGrown HideAways is a hundred-acre farm, lodging, and event facility near Berea , Ky. Tent camping is wherever you'd like to pitch your tent in the big field to the left of the driveway as soon as you cross the bridge. You can park with your tent as long as the field is dry enough to not get stuck, otherwise, park alongside the driveway and walk your stuff to wherever you want to camp. Please read below for info about campfires and firewood. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Guests can check in any time after 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice. Rentals are unlocked so guests can just follow the instructions sent with the check-in email to find their location and let themselves in. Check-out is at 10am so that we have time to clean the rental before the next guest arrives, but you can remain on the property until 11 (late departure fee of $35). If something comes up and you need to leave before your scheduled check-out date, please do us the courtesy of sending a message once you have cell service so that we know not to expect you. UNPLUG AND RECONNECT: HomeGrown HideAways does not have cell service or wifi, but there is a landline in the Community Kitchen for guests to use. We hope that you will take the opportunity to re-connect with nature, yourself, your family, and other guests. In addition to the shared kitchen space, we also have a pavilion with cornhole set up for rainy days, and a massive bonfire area where we encourage guests to pitch in on firewood to share stories and s’mores. Please note that quiet hours are from 10pm – 7am and sound carries far in the holler. SHARED BATH HOUSE: In addition to year-round outhouses, there is a seasonal BATH HOUSE with 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. The bath house is rustic with a concrete floor so we recommend shower shoes or flip flops. Towels and toiletries are not provided, but we do have extra for purchase if you forget yours. In the winter months, when the bath house is closed, we open the restrooms in the community building for showering (1 full bath and 1 half bath). COMMUNITY KITCHEN: The farm has a brand new (2021), centrally-located, solar-powered, chef-inspired COMMUNITY KITCHEN with 4 ovens, 5-burner gas cooktop, microwave, refrigerator with farm-fresh eggs, coffee-maker, toaster, dishes, cutlery, baking sheets, basic cooking supplies (oil, salt, pepper, etc), plus HomeGrown farm goods, s’more kits, and other goodies. BRING CASH for the honor system. Please remember that this space is available for ALL visitors of the farm so guests are expected to clean up after themselves and not to loiter when others are waiting. To prevent over-crowding, we ask that a maximum of TWO people from your group occupy the space at a time and children MUST be accompanied by a guardian at all times. Meals may be eaten at the picnic tables on the porch, under the pavilion, or you can take food back to your site. FOOD SCRAPS MUST BE PUT INTO THE COMPOST BIN – NOT IN THE TRASH. Please do not discard food on the ground as it can make our animals sick and attract unwanted wildlife. THE FARM: We are a farm in the mountains so we have all the good (beautiful views, babbling brook, hiking trails) and the bad (insects, howling coyotes, poison ivy) that nature has to offer so come prepared. We recommend hiking boots, bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothing. Be prepared to encounter INSECTS (mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers), WILDLIFE (deer, turkey, snakes, toads, and dare we mention the bear track we spotted one spring?), WEATHER (hot, cold, rain, snow), TOXIC PLANTS (poison ivy, stinging nettle, wild mushrooms), just to name a few. There is a steep and rugged 1.5-mile hiking loop that takes most folks about an hour (if they can get past the first 10-minute uphill climb). We also have playground swings, disc golf, hula hoops, a croquet set, and a creek full of geodes to hunt. Please do not leave any sticks, rocks, games, or other items in the grass where the mower might run over them. CAMPFIRES: Most sites have their own fire pit except for the primitive camping area. There is also a large communal fire pit near the Community Kitchen. Due to the spread of invasive insects, we ask that you DO NOT BRING FIREWOOD unless it is store-bought/kiln dried. We have bundles for sale here for $5/bundle (bring cash) or you can scavenge dead wood from the forest floor for free. DO NOT cut down live trees and DO NOT burn plastic, glass, trash, gas, or anything that isn’t wood or paper. There are plenty of fire-starting materials under the Pavilion next to the bundles. On your way to the farm, you will pass the local fire department. Please make note of the fire danger sign. If the fire danger is high, a campfire may not be advisable – please check for local burn bans. SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted within the vicinity of any building on the farm. Please do not discard cigarette butts in the firepits or on the ground. They must be completely extinguished and can be thrown in the trash. TRASH: In case you missed it before, we do not have trash pick-up on the farm and very much appreciate it if you can take your trash with you when you leave the farm. We do have recycling bins for clean plastic and aluminum cans. Paper and cardboard can be put in the box next to the firewood bundles under the pavilion for others to use for starting fires. We also have a compost bin available for all food scraps, paper napkins, and paper plates. Please do not discard food on the ground as it can make our animals sick and attract unwanted wildlife. MOTORIZED VEHICLES: We do not allow ATVs, 4-wheelers, golf carts, or any non-medical motorized transportation. Bicycles are welcome and encouraged. GENERATORS: We highly discourage the use of generators as they can be quite noisy and produce toxic fumes. Please talk to us in advance if you require one for a specific purpose. ACCIDENTS: If a child or member of your party has an accident involving bodily fluids, please take the time to clean up after them. First aid kits are supplied in most rentals and in the Community Kitchen. If bedding is involved, we have coin-operated laundry facilities in the Community building to begin the washing process. Please notify us of such events. COOLERS & CANDLES: Coolers should be left outside so that the condensation doesn't damage our floors. Candles are not allowed due to too many wax spills. NEARBY: We are just 8 miles from the Berea Pinnacles, 6 miles from Get Outside Ky (they rent canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and e-bikes), 3 miles to Tater Knob Pottery, 20 minutes to Anglin Falls, and a scenic hour from Red River Gorge. Berea is known for its arts and crafts, the historic Berea College, and outdoor recreation. In addition to hiking at the Pinnacles, there are several other trails throughout town and the newly opened Silver Creek Bike Park. NOMS: Our favorite places to eat in Berea are Native Bagel Company, Nightjar, Apollo Pizza, PapaLeno’s, and El Rio Grande. We’re also excited by the soon to open Nightjar (brought to you by the Native Bagel folks). In Richmond, we like Masala Indian, Purdy’s Coffee Co., and Thai Smile. Note: Madison County is DRY, Berea is MOIST, and Richmond is WET so plan your alcohol accordingly. ACTIVITIES: We highly encourage guests to check out the Berea Tourism website for all kinds of classes, workshops, concerts, art demonstrations, guided hikes, and other events. Some of our favorite places are Rebel Rebel Studio & Lounge, the Berea Makerspace, Berea Arts Council, and the Berea College Forestry Outreach Center.

The Porch - Upgraded Camping

100% (9)
Tent site · Sleeps 4
The Porch is exactly what it sounds it like. It's a 12x15 elevated platform with a 7'-8' tall shed roof. With water, electric, firepit, picnic table, porch swing, and nearby outhouse, it's an upgrade from our dispersed camping in the open field and great for tent or hammock camping in inclement weather. The trade-off is that you're in an area of the farm known as "Tiny Town" with several other nearby sites so you have less space and privacy. (Pro-tip: get your friends to book the other sites and do a Tiny Town Takeover)! The platform is best suited for a couple hammocks or a smaller 2-4 person tent. If your tent is too big for the platform, lots of folks choose to set up their tent next to the platform and use the Porch as more of an outdoor living/dining room. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Guests can check in any time after 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice. Rentals are unlocked so guests can just follow the instructions sent with the check-in email to find their location and let themselves in.

Electric & Water Hook-Ups

100% (14)
RV/tent site · Sleeps 6 · Vehicles under 25 ft
There is a small area of the farm near the entrance and next to the creek that has graveled sites with water and electric (no sewer/dump station). There are 2 sites available for guests and they are first come, first served. Sites are small and best suited for pop-ups, campervans, or travel trailers shorter than 25' long, and require backing in. Tents are also welcome to set up in these sites, but there's much more room out in the field if you don't need water and/or electric right at your site. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Guests can check in any time after 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice.

Check-out is at 10am so that we have time to clean the rental before the next guest arrives, but you are welcome to explore the farm until 11. There is a $35 fee for late departure after 11am.

The Nook (Bunkhouse on a Budget)

100% (7)
Cabin · Sleeps 10
Got a group of 10 or less and want to camp without the hassle of setting up tents? The Nook might be just what you're looking for! Just like tent camping, there's no plumbing or electric inside the structure and you need to bring your own sleeping bags and pillows, but you'll be out of the elements and sleeping on actual beds. INTERIOR: The Nook is just a simple, one-room hut made from salvaged doors, windows, and scrap lumber. You get the entire Nook to your group. It has two full-size futon couches plus two futon bunk beds with single top bunk and full-size lower bunk (that’s enough space to sleep up to 10 people if you’re cozy). There is a string of SOLAR lights inside, but they do not come on until it gets dark and that’s only if they received enough sunlight during the day to recharge (we do have a spare panel if yours isn’t fully charged). We do not have trash service on the farm so you need to take your trash to town with you upon departure. The back windows are operational and the space above the other windows are screened in for lots of ventilation. For the cooler months, we cover the screens with insulation panels and the space can be heated with a propane heater (bring your own or rent one from us). For maximum comfort, be sure to bring bedding that’s suitable for the weather. We also have sleeping bags available for rent in the Community Kitchen. EXTERIOR: The Nook is tucked away in the far back section of the farm near the Yome and our mushroom garden (look for stacked logs with duct tape on them). A creek runs alongside it and there is a footbridge from the parking area over to the Nook. There is a picnic table, bench, and firepit just outside the door. The chickens and ducks are your closest neighbors so you can expect a relatively early wake-up call from the roosters. We have plans to build an outhouse near the Nook, but guests will need to plan to trek to one of the shared use facilities or we have a camp toilet to rent (it’s very clean, we promise). We don’t mind if you pee in the woods, but PLEASE make sure you’re at least 300 feet away from the creek and DO NOT dispose of toilet tissue (or anything else) in the forest. TP can be burned in your firepit or put in your trash. If we find toilet products in the forest, we will bill a $100 fine to your account for clean-up. Guests are expected to follow the Leave No Trace code of outdoor ethics. CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Guests can check in any time after 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice. Rentals are unlocked so guests can just follow the instructions sent with the check-in email to find their location and let themselves in. Check-out is at 10am so that we have time to clean the rental before the next guest arrives, but you can remain on the property until 11 (late departure fee of $35). If something comes up and you need to leave before your scheduled check-out date, please do us the courtesy of sending a message once you have cell service so that we know not to expect you. UNPLUG AND RECONNECT: HomeGrown HideAways does not have cell service or wifi, but there is a landline in the Community Kitchen for guests to use. We hope that you will take the opportunity to re-connect with nature, yourself, your family, and other guests. In addition to the shared kitchen space, we also have a pavilion with cornhole set up for rainy days, and a massive bonfire area where we encourage guests to pitch in on firewood to share stories and s’mores. Please note that quiet hours are from 10pm – 7am and sound carries far in the holler. SHARED BATH HOUSE: In addition to year-round outhouses, there is a seasonal BATH HOUSE with 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. The bath house is rustic with a concrete floor so we recommend shower shoes or flip flops. Towels and toiletries are not provided, but we do have extra for purchase if you forget yours. In the winter months, when the bath house is closed, we open the restrooms in the community building for showering (1 full bath and 1 half bath). COMMUNITY KITCHEN: The farm has a brand new (2021), centrally-located, solar-powered, chef-inspired COMMUNITY KITCHEN with 4 ovens, 5-burner gas cooktop, microwave, refrigerator with farm-fresh eggs, coffee-maker, toaster, dishes, cutlery, baking sheets, basic cooking supplies (oil, salt, pepper, etc), plus HomeGrown farm goods, s’more kits, and other goodies. BRING CASH for the honor system. Please remember that this space is available for ALL visitors of the farm so guests are expected to clean up after themselves and not to loiter when others are waiting. To prevent over-crowding, we ask that a maximum of TWO people from your group occupy the space at a time and children MUST be accompanied by a guardian at all times. Meals may be eaten at the picnic tables on the porch, under the pavilion, or you can take food back to your site. FOOD SCRAPS MUST BE PUT INTO THE COMPOST BIN – NOT IN THE TRASH. Please do not discard food on the ground as it can make our animals sick and attract unwanted wildlife. THE FARM: We are a farm in the mountains so we have all the good (beautiful views, babbling brook, hiking trails) and the bad (insects, howling coyotes, poison ivy) that nature has to offer so come prepared. We recommend hiking boots, bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothing. Be prepared to encounter INSECTS (mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers), WILDLIFE (deer, turkey, snakes, toads, and dare we mention the bear track we spotted one spring?), WEATHER (hot, cold, rain, snow), TOXIC PLANTS (poison ivy, stinging nettle, wild mushrooms), just to name a few. There is a steep and rugged 1.5-mile hiking loop that takes most folks about an hour (if they can get past the first 10-minute uphill climb). We also have playground swings, disc golf, hula hoops, a croquet set, and a creek full of geodes to hunt. Please do not leave any sticks, rocks, games, or other items in the grass where the mower might run over them. CAMPFIRES: Most sites have their own fire pit except for the primitive camping area. There is also a large communal fire pit near the Community Kitchen. Due to the spread of invasive insects, we ask that you DO NOT BRING FIREWOOD unless it is store-bought/kiln dried. We have bundles for sale here for $5/bundle (bring cash) or you can scavenge dead wood from the forest floor for free. DO NOT cut down live trees and DO NOT burn plastic, glass, trash, gas, or anything that isn’t wood or paper. There are plenty of fire-starting materials under the Pavilion next to the bundles. On your way to the farm, you will pass the local fire department. Please make note of the fire danger sign. If the fire danger is high, a campfire may not be advisable – please check for local burn bans. SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted within the vicinity of any building on the farm. Please do not discard cigarette butts in the firepits or on the ground. They must be completely extinguished and can be thrown in the trash. TRASH: In case you missed it before, we do not have trash pick-up on the farm and very much appreciate it if you can take your trash with you when you leave the farm. We do have recycling bins for clean plastic and aluminum cans. Paper and cardboard can be put in the box next to the firewood bundles under the pavilion for others to use for starting fires. We also have a compost bin available for all food scraps, paper napkins, and paper plates. Please do not discard food on the ground as it can make our animals sick and attract unwanted wildlife. MOTORIZED VEHICLES: We do not allow ATVs, 4-wheelers, golf carts, or any non-medical motorized transportation. Bicycles are welcome and encouraged. GENERATORS: We highly discourage the use of generators as they can be quite noisy and produce toxic fumes. Please talk to us in advance if you require one for a specific purpose. ACCIDENTS: If a child or member of your party has an accident involving bodily fluids, please take the time to clean up after them. First aid kits are supplied in most rentals and in the Community Kitchen. If bedding is involved, we have coin-operated laundry facilities in the Community building to begin the washing process. Please notify us of such events. COOLERS and CANDLES: Coolers should be left outside so that the condensation doesn't damage our floors. Candles are not allowed due to too many wax spills. NEARBY: We are just 8 miles from the Berea Pinnacles, 6 miles from Get Outside Ky (they rent canoes, kayaks, SUPs, and e-bikes), 3 miles to Tater Knob Pottery, 20 minutes to Anglin Falls, and a scenic hour from Red River Gorge. Berea is known for its arts and crafts, the historic Berea College, and outdoor recreation. In addition to hiking at the Pinnacles, there are several other trails throughout town and the newly opened Silver Creek Bike Park. NOMS: Our favorite places to eat in Berea are Noodle Nirvana, Native Bagel Company, Happy Jack’s World Sandwich Bar, Apollo Pizza, PapaLeno’s, and El Rio Grande. We’re also excited by the soon to open Nightjar (brought to you by the Native Bagel folks). In Richmond, we like Masala Indian, Purdy’s Coffee Co., and Thai Smile.

Vintage Vagabond - Holly Heron

100% (1)
Onsite RV/trailer · Sleeps 4
Holly Heron is one of several vintage/retro campers on the farm so grab your friends and create a camping village! The campers are located in the section of the farm we refer to as Tiny Town since there are multiple, adjacent sites due to the accessibility of electric and water in this area. Holly Heron is named for the large bird that flies over our farm on a daily basis and occasionally pitstops in the creek near the campers. This camper is our largest, but for comfort, we limit usage to a maximum of 4 people. There's a queen bed in the rear, the dinette converts to about a full-sized bed, and the couch is only long enough for 1 or 2 children under 5 feet tall. Be sure to bring your own sleeping bags and pillows as LINENS ARE NOT PROVIDED for this listing. Vintage campers are not well-known for their spaciousness. Folks over 6 feet tall are likely to feel a bit cramped. None of the campers have bathrooms available, but there is a nearby outhouse and seasonal bath house (winter guests may use the shower and restrooms located inside the Community Kitchen). From November to April, water is disconnected (known as dry camping), but jugs of spring water are provided. Each camper has its own firepit and firewood bundles are for sale under the Pavilion for $5/bundle (bring cash for the honor system cup and see notes below regarding campfires). CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Guests can check in any time after 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice. Rentals are unlocked so guests can just follow the instructions sent with the check-in email to find their location and let themselves in. Check-out is at 10am so that we have time to clean the rental before the next guest arrives, but you are welcome to explore the farm until 11. There is a $35 fee for late departure after 11am. If something comes up and you need to leave before your scheduled check-out date, please do us the courtesy of sending a message once you have cell service so that we know not to expect you. UNPLUG AND RECONNECT: HomeGrown HideAways does not have cell service or wifi, but there is a landline in the Community Kitchen for guests to use. We hope that you will take the opportunity to re-connect with nature, yourself, your family, and other guests. In addition to the shared kitchen space, we also have a pavilion with cornhole set up for rainy days, and a massive bonfire area where we encourage guests to pitch in on firewood to share stories and s’mores. Please note that quiet hours are from 10pm – 7am and sound carries far in the holler. SHARED BATH HOUSE: In addition to year-round outhouses, there is a seasonal BATH HOUSE with 4 flush toilets and 2 solar-heated showers. The bath house is rustic with a concrete floor so we recommend shower shoes or flip flops. Towels and toiletries are not provided, but we do have extra for purchase if you forget yours. In the winter months, when the bath house is closed, we open the restrooms in the community building for showering (1 full bath and 1 half bath). COMMUNITY KITCHEN: The farm has a brand new (2021), centrally-located, solar-powered, chef-inspired COMMUNITY KITCHEN with 4 ovens, 5-burner gas cooktop, microwave, refrigerator with farm-fresh eggs, coffee-maker, toaster, dishes, cutlery, baking sheets, basic cooking supplies (oil, salt, pepper, etc), plus HomeGrown farm goods, s’more kits, and other goodies. BRING CASH for the honor system. Please remember that this space is available for ALL visitors of the farm so guests are expected to clean up after themselves and not to loiter when others are waiting. To prevent over-crowding, we ask that a maximum of TWO people from your group occupy the space at a time and children MUST be accompanied by a guardian at all times. Meals may be eaten at the picnic tables on the porch, under the pavilion, or you can take food back to your site. FOOD SCRAPS MUST BE PUT INTO THE COMPOST BIN – NOT IN THE TRASH. Please do not discard food on the ground as it can make our animals sick and attract unwanted wildlife. THE FARM: We are a farm in the mountains so we have all the good (beautiful views, babbling brook, hiking trails) and the bad (insects, howling coyotes, poison ivy) that nature has to offer so come prepared. We recommend hiking boots, bug spray, and weather-appropriate clothing. Be prepared to encounter INSECTS (mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers), WILDLIFE (deer, turkey, snakes, toads, and dare we mention the bear track we spotted one spring?), WEATHER (hot, cold, rain, snow), TOXIC PLANTS (poison ivy, stinging nettle, wild mushrooms), just to name a few. There is a steep and rugged 1.5-mile hiking loop that takes most folks about an hour (if they can get past the first 10-minute uphill climb). We also have playground swings, disc golf, hula hoops, a croquet set, and a creek full of geodes to hunt. Please do not leave sticks, rocks, games, or other items in the grass where we need to mow. CAMPFIRES: Most sites have their own fire pit except for the primitive camping area. There is also a large communal fire pit near the Community Kitchen. Due to the spread of invasive insects, we ask that you DO NOT BRING FIREWOOD unless it is store-bought/kiln dried. We have bundles for sale here for $5/bundle (bring cash) or you can scavenge dead wood from the forest floor for free. DO NOT cut down live trees and DO NOT burn plastic, glass, trash, gas, or anything that isn’t wood or paper. There is plenty of fire-starting materials under the Pavilion next to the bundles. On your way to the farm, you will pass the local fire department. Please make note of the fire danger sign. If the fire danger is high, a campfire may not be advisable – please check for local burn bans. SMOKING: Smoking is not permitted within the vicinity of any building on the farm. Please do not discard cigarette butts in the firepits or on the ground. They must be completely extinguished and can be thrown in the trash. TRASH: In case you missed it before, we do not have trash pick-up on the farm and very much appreciate it if you can take your trash with you when you leave the farm.

Abi's Arboreal Abode - Tree-Yurt

Treehouse · Sleeps 4
Sleeps a maximum of 4. Abi's Arboreal Abode is a 15' treehouse yurt nestled in a grove of walnut trees with a nearby outhouse. There is a bunk-bed with full-size lower bunk, single top, and a single trundle. This rental has electric, heat, and air, but is still just a tent so it can get hot/cold/damp. The farm also has a centrally located Community Farmhouse and Bath House which are shared with other guests. NO PETS/ESAs - NO EXCEPTIONS! The space HomeGrown HideAways is a hundred-acre farm, campground, and event facility with treehouses, yurts, cabins, camping, etc. The owners, Nathan & Jessa, live onsite with a parade of dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks (please do not let your kids chase the birds). For the safety of our own animals (and yours), we cannot allow any additional animals onto the farm. Anyone arriving with an animal of any kind will not be allowed to stay and no refund will be given. INTERIOR: You get the entire treehouse to yourself. It has a bunk-bed with a single mattress on the top and a full-size futon on the bottom. There is also a trundle with a single-sized mattress that pulls out from under the bunk-bed. The beds have sheets, pillows, and blankets, but let us know if you prefer to bring your own. There is a drop-leaf dining table with four fold-away chairs and a cabinet with cleaning supplies and games. A trash can is provided, but we do not have trash service on the farm so you need to take your trash to town with you upon departure. This rental sleeps a maximum of FOUR people. If you have more than four people, then please book a different or additional site. The treehouse has electricity, but no indoor plumbing. We provide a jug of spring water and there is an outdoor water spigot across from the nearby outhouse. There is an electric fireplace and a window air conditioner that we install in May and remove in October based on prevailing weather conditions. There is a ceiling fan to circulate the air, but please remember that the yurt is just an over-sized tent. Even with the heat and AC, it can still be warm in the summer, and chilly in the winter. It's camping! EXTERIOR: Abi’s is located in the section of the farm we refer to as Tiny Town since there are multiple, adjacent sites due to the accessibility of electric and water in this area. If you’re looking for seclusion and privacy, we would suggest our Yome Away from Home, the Treetop Flyer, or the Wabi Sabi Studio. There is a spiral staircase to access the treehouse deck (watch your head!), but we have also installed an electric lift for getting your belongings up to the platform. There's a firepit, a picnic table, clothesline, small patio table with two chairs, and two hammocks underneath the platform (hammocks are typically stored away during winter to limit wear and tear from the weather). A shared outhouse is just a few steps away from the base of the stairs and the bath house is across the creek in the main camping field. Firewood bundles are available for purchase under the pavilion next to the Community Farmhouse (see section regarding CAMPFIRES below). CHECK-IN: Guests can check in any time AFTER 4pm, but we do recommend arriving before dark. Depending on our cleaning schedule, we may be able to accommodate an earlier arrival time with advance notice. PLEASE KEEP US APPRISED OF YOUR ESTIMATED ARRIVAL TIME AND DO NOT ARRIVE EARLY WITHOUT PERMISSION. Rentals are unlocked so guests can just let themselves in. CHECK-OUT: Please vacate your rental by 10am and depart the farm no later than 11am. Guests remaining on the farm after 11am are subject to a $35/hour late departure fee. If something comes up and you need to leave before your scheduled check-out date, please do us the courtesy of sending a message once you have cell service so that we know not to expect you. CANCELLATIONS: Prior to confirming your reservation, please familiarize yourself with our cancellation policy. We recommend TRAVEL INSURANCE to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances such as illness, death, travel interruptions, and other unexpected events that may necessitate cancellation. HomeGrown HideAways is unable to offer refunds outside of our cancellation policy since travel insurance is specifically designed to address such situations. ALTERATIONS: Guests are welcome to submit alteration requests, whether to extend their stay or make adjustments to the number of individuals on the reservation. For more substantial changes to the dates of your reservation, you'll need to cancel the existing booking and initiate a new reservation with the revised dates. The cancellation policy remains applicable to both canceled and re-booked reservations. UNPLUG AND RECONNECT: HomeGrown HideAways does not have cell service or wifi, but there is a landline in the Community Farmhouse for guests to use.

Guest access Guests have access to all 100 acres of the farm EXCEPT the private rentals, the residence, and the chicken/duck houses. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN CHASE THE BIRDS! We HIGHLY recommend arriving before dark. There are very few streetlights on the road coming in and none on the farm. It gets REALLY dark out here and some of our city guests have a bit of trouble with this. Rentals are unlocked for your arrival.

Other things to note Items we recommend bringing: CASH for firewood, eggs, and farm goods; bug spray; hiking shoes/mudboots; slippers; earplugs (sometimes the coyotes throw big parties); and shower shoes (the bath house is rustic with a concrete floor). We live onsite. If you have any issues during your stay, PLEASE come knock on our door so we can assist.

We are constantly striving to make the farm better and sometimes we forget to update the listings with the latest changes and improvements. For the most up-to-date information, we suggest you follow our HomeGrown HideAways social media accounts where we also advertise on-farm workshops, classes, and events.

Host and property were both wonderful! Unfortunately we were only there overnight, but would absolutely come back to the area just to spend more time at the property. Clear directions, great amenities, and the host was kind and responsive. Stunning views and lots more to offer. Would highly recommend this stay!

We camped here for two weeks and were sad to leave. Jessa and Nathan made us feel very at home, tucked away in this precious holler. We enjoyed the silence of the night, the fog in the morning, the creek near our campsite, and the incredible hike right on property. We stayed in our 30 foot converted school bus in one of their RV back in sites. We were able to park quite easily, and there was plenty of space to maneuver the bus into the spot. The sites were level with gravel. The creek was actually quite warm to swim in. Our starlink internet worked well! Nathan and Jessa were friendly and quick to respond to any of our messages through Hipcamp. They were happy to share any cool things about the property or the town of Berea. They were respectful of our privacy and also made great company while using the kitchen in the community space. We had a fun time in the moments connecting with them over their garden and chickens. We certainly intend to be back. We really liked the community aspect of their property, encouraging people to connect. We also liked that they had their own products for sale at a reasonable price. We enjoyed everything from their eggs, asparagus, to things like apple butter and fresh garlic powder; all from their own land. We appreciated their complementary springwater. Their generosity and kind hearts truly made this beautiful holler a gem you are going to want to visit. Thank you for such a great experience. We hope to cross paths again!

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.

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!

The Nook (Bunkhouse on a Budget)
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.

I wish I would have had more time to spend here, but due to external reasons I had to skip my first night. The property is beautiful with lots of amenities. Sleeping in a hammock under the stars was just what I needed. I will return in the near future for a longer stay.

Pleasantly surprised by the amenities. I didn't bring coffee making supplies so it was nice to be able to make coffee in the morning. Shower was warm and there was even soap dispenser. Would definitely go back. The atmosphere is great. I got to hear at least 2 different species of owls calling as I drifted off to sleep. Only regret is that I had to be away from camp and didn't get to fully enjoy the space.

Beautiful campsite with super clean facilities. Their community house is well stocked with purchasable house made and local products. What I love most is that it is quiet with very little light pollution. The hosts, Jessa and Nathan, are very friendly and fun to chat with about what they grow on their property and all of their animals that roam about.

My wife and I stayed for a full week. Jessa and Nathan were great hosts. They were quick to suggest attractions that were appropriate for our trip. We were there to ride our motorcycle through the Gorge and they told us all the places to go. The facilities were great. Clean and organized. We expect to return and suggest if you are going to stay near Berea stay here.

We loved our stay at HomeGrowns camp! The site is absolutely beautiful and pretty easy to find. Our hosts greeted and welcomed us on day one, and were very, very friendly ! We strongly recommend HomeGrown to anyone looking for a quiet getaway in an extremely beautiful place!!!

We had a great weekend stay at HomeGrown Hideaway. We stayed in the RV section and the kids loved the creek. The location is the perfect balance of secluded but not a long drive to Berea and other attractions. The one drawback for us is that the RV sites don’t get day time shade, so it got toasty in the afternoon. We plan on coming back!

Great place to stay. The farm was peaceful and the hosts were generous with their space. While there I swung on the porch swing, walked in the creek and picked up a jar of homemade blueberry jam, courtesy of the owners.

The Nook (Bunkhouse on a Budget)
We stayed at the nook and it was great for us. The bathouse was clean and the showers were warm! We didn't need to use the community kitchen but checked it out and they had everything you could need. Hopefully we'll be back for railbird 2025 next year!

We went to KY for the weekend for a festival in Lexington & HomeGrown made it a very simple & easy check in. They were very friendly & informative & even allowed an early check in with advanced notice! Would recommend to others & come stay again with spare time to really engage in the property, they have many neat things to do there!

The Porch - Upgraded Camping
It is a beautiful property and the hosts are fantastic. Everyone there wound up at our campsite. Just meeting new people and having a good time. Oh and Sadie came to say hello in the morning. This is my second time there and it was better than the first.

Great site if you're visiting Berea

This is a beautiful place to camp, with flat sites, a nice bathhouse just up the hill, a "club house" where you can hang out and cook (if you clean up after yourself), a big fire circle to share and a small fire circle if you want privacy, and fresh food and eggs for sale. And a host couple who are friendly and helpful and fun to chat with. It seems like a long drive the first time you go there, but soon it'll be an easy drive and well worth it.

Jessa and Nathan are wonderful hosts who clearly love their land and the outdoors. It is so wonderful to share their little slice of serenity. The facilities are fantastic, suitable for anyone from die hard campers to cabin glampers. Also, if you get up and hike early enough you may catch Jessa and her lovely dogs on the trail.

Beautiful setting! Jessa and Nathan have created a comfortable, clean, peaceful spot to unplug and unwind. Super clean outhouses and comfy beds in the Nook. It is nice to have access to the community kitchen if you need it and gorgeous smelling indoor toilets there as well. If you want to be completely alone you can have that as well here. There is a great trail and 2 of the sweetest dogs to accompany you if you want! Jessa and Nathan are very quick to respond and super accommodating. Highly recommend!
