A unique transforming A-frame camping cabin occupies a compact area, certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat yard and also recognized as a certified garden and monarch waystation through monarchwatch.org.
TSKY is located 3 miles from Long Bow Boat dock on Cave Run Lake, 10 minutes from the Sheltowee Trace National Recreational Trail, and 18 miles to the adventures in the Red River Gorge. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nature trails and the opportunity to explore in the Daniel Boone National Forest.
There are short hikes within a 20-minute drive each offering its own unique discovery. An arch, an overlook, a cave, and a 60-foot waterfall nestled within a small scenic canyon. With so much natural beauty to explore, your stay at our A-frame camping cabin is a perfect base place to Embrace Nature's Pace.Tucked in a corner on the property is a space that invites the guests to relax and to have the opportunity to learn about native plants, herbs, and the benefits of building wildlife habitats within the yard. Guests can see the buzzing around of busy bees, butterflies, birds, and perhaps spot other wildlife.
Swing your cares away enjoying the nighttime stars or the moon rising. Watch the sunrise from behind the cabin and set from the front off in the distance.
The space is mostly graveled. There will be 5 gallons of drinking water provided to our guests. There will be a porta-potty across the driveway. There are no hookups at this site - no electricity. There is a changing building for guests to utilize if more space is needed.
There is a futon that turns into a full-size bed with a thin memory foam mattress that can be used on the futon for extra comfiness. Please bring your own bedding items. (No pillows, sheets, comforters, or blankets are provided.)
Guests have a view of the back woods behind the owner's main a-frame cabin where you can learn about other KY native fruits, and when in season free to pick and try a few - elderberries, serviceberries, gooseberries, grapes, strawberries, groundcherries, and more. (No pesticides or chemicals are ever used!) (The short trail, in the woods, is closed until further notice.)
It's a small space for a big area in the Daniel Boone National Forest to explore by driving to your daily destinations to hike, kayak, fish, bike, swim, or do nothing but relax. The stars are amazing and the fireflies provide a show in the summertime. On-site will be a flower bed of mint and lemon balm to naturally deter insects. Please pick a little- leave a lot.
Please know we feed the bees, butterflies, and birds by planting 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 honeybees and carpenter bees are generally docile, we want to keep everyone safe. Note: the carpenter bees act bold and fly close to you, however, they are male and do not have stingers.)
Please know neighbors can be seen from the site from certain areas at TSKY. Just as a campground 'neighbors' can be heard and the owners of the main a-frame may be outside and drive by your site to exit the property. No worries, your space is lightly fenced in for privacy. The driveway to the site is graveled with an incline to exit.
*property is not flat... it is sloped.
