Transforming A-Frame Camping Cabin Near Cave Run Lake and Red River Gorge. Experience a unique off-grid micro A-frame camping cabin designed for nature lovers, hikers, and eco-conscious travelers. Located 3 miles from Cave Run Lake and a nice scenic drive to Red River Gorge. TSKY offers a peaceful basecamp to explore Eastern KY while treading lightly on the land. The property is proudly certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a Wildlife Habitat and recognized as a Certified Garden and Monarch Waystation through Monarch Watch. Native plant gardens, pollinator habitats, and wildlife-friendly landscaping support butterflies, birds, and local ecosystems. Guests can enjoy a stay that prioritizes sustainability and respect for nature. Intentionally building dead hedges, leaving hollow stems, stumps, and wood piles creates vital habitat for native bees, pollinators, and wildlife. It's not a manicured yard, it's designed to support diversity, and, too, we are designing foodscapes. Always a work in progress. When available and in season, guests can pick their own fruit and/or herbs. This 80 sq. ft. A-frame embraces a minimal footprint and off-grid mindset, inviting guests to unplug, slow down, and reconnect with the outdoors. Embrace Nature's Pace Adventures are close by: • 3 miles to Long Bow Boat Dock on Cave Run Lake • 10 minutes to the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail • 18 miles to Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest Within a 20-minute drive, short hikes lead to natural arches, scenic overlooks, a cave, a state fish hatchery, and a beautiful 60-foot waterfall in a small canyon. Whether you’re kayaking, hiking, birdwatching, or simply relaxing among native gardens and wildlife habitat, Trace Space KY is the place to retreat from a busy life! 🌿🦋🌲There are no hookups at this site - no electricity. There is a separate changing building for guests to utilize if more space is needed. There is a full-size bed/futon with 2 memory foam-covered cushions for comfort. Please bring your own bedding items. (There are no pillows, sheets, comforters, or blankets.) There are a few dishes, a pan, and a few grilling utensils for your convenience. When the fruits are in season, guests will have the opportunity to harvest - elderberries, serviceberries, gooseberries, grapes, strawberries, groundcherries, and more through your purchase as an EXTRA on Hipcamp -when offered and available. On-site by the cabin will be a flower bed of mint and lemon balm. Please feel free to pick a little and leave a lot for other guests. The plants also aid in deterring insects and snakes. (No pesticides are ever used!) (***The short trail, in the woods, is CLOSED until further notice. Poison ivy.) Please know we feed the bees, butterflies, and birds by planting native and specific plants. (***If you are allergic to any species of bee or wasp, we are sorry - perhaps we aren't the right fit. While the native bees, honeybees and the larger carpenter bees are generally docile, we want to keep everyone safe. Note: The carpenter bees act boldly and fly close to you; however, most all are male who are watching you, ;) and do not have stingers.) While we love the string lights at night, we try to limit light pollution for our friends - the fireflies, in the summer months. (Please feel free to use the lights if you'd like. However, if you want a spectacular firefly show or to gaze up at the stars, off is best.) The main aframe and neighbors can be seen from the site from certain areas at TSKY. Just as a campground 'neighbors' can be heard, and the residents of the main a-frame may be outside and drive by your site to enter or exit the property. No worries, your space is partially fenced in for privacy. *The property is not flat... it is sloped. **There is an outdoor security camera on the property for safety reasons.
