Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

A unique transforming A-frame camping cabin occupies a compact area, certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat yard and 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 seekers and enthusiasts will appreciate the nature trails, the lake's pristine waters, and the opportunity to explore the Daniel Boone National Forest or to simply rest and unplug. There are short hikes within a 20-minute drive each offering its own unique discovery: arches, 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. ***HEADS UP! The 'Bourbon Brood' cicadas have officially emerged in E. KY — and they are everywhere! Expect a loud chorus at TSKY, especially over the next several weeks. If you're looking for peace and quiet, this may not be the ideal time to visit. That said, we embrace their presence because of their important role in the ecosystem. They do not bite or sting. The males are the singers! And they are great snacks for the birds and other wildlife. If you would like to learn more head to our IG page, click the link in our bio to check out the latest blog posts about the cicadas.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.

Women's Retreatexperience

$15.00

Escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in the peaceful embrace of nature at a unique women's retreat located within the picturesque Daniel Boone National Forest and just minutes from the breathtaking Cave Run Lake. This off-grid camping cabin offers a perfect setting for women seeking connection, rejuvenation, and renewal. Here, you can unplug from the chaos and rediscover the joys of a simpler life. This retreat goes beyond relaxation; it offers hands-on opportunities to connect with the environment. Participants can engage in activities like building on the dead hedge to support local wildlife, planting native flora to help the bee and butterfly population, or picking fresh herbs for tea. Each task brings a sense of accomplishment and mindfulness, allowing you to reconnect with the earth. We will also offer nature art activities such as creating flower arrangements, hammer flower art, dying cloth with plants or berries, and more.

A Fantastic Relaxing Space

We really can’t say enough good things about this space and the host. The space is incredibly relaxing and comfortable. The birdwatching is amazing. And the garden was beautiful. My wife spent the weekend identifying and researching all of the plants in the garden. We were visited each day by a variety of birds including (but not limited to) Red Headed Woodpeckers, Orchard Orioles, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Cedar Waxwings, and many others. MJ was incredibly friendly and accommodating, answering any question we had very quickly. She is simply the most thoughtful and kind host. We highly recommend staying here.

In a word, marvelous!! What a charming host. Marcy is so kind and helpful. The cabin was lovely and cozy and packed with everything we could have needed yet felt open and spacious. Her property is beautiful. We enjoyed the nearby hiking and all the fall colors during our drives. We will absolutely be back in the spring!

Amazing anniversary getaway!

The site is beautifully put together, a little oasis. The a-frame was so charming with the translucent side that opens up.. There is a hammock on site and friendly twinkle lights at night. The port-a-potty was very clean. The host was super to work wirh, very informative. When we accidentally left a book out in the rain they went to great lengths to save it for us. Definitely would recommend staying here!!!! Beautiful place to relax with a good book.

Amazing Little place!

Great place to stay! The host was super helpful and welcoming and the place was adorable. I was only in the area for one night, but I wouldn’t loved to stay longer.😊

Great little getaway

The little a-frame is so cute and just right! I was very relaxed falling asleep to the sounds of rain and frogs. I wished I would've stayed longer!

Camp Near Native Flowers

I had a fantastic time! I always enjoy the nearby hikes and the time spent at our swimming area at Clay Lick. While there are neighbors, I still felt I was in a private space. I loved our campfire dinner. I will be sure to water the Yaro when I transplant it at home. The bouquet you prepared was gorgeous, thank you so much. I will be sure to book again and recommend it to my friends and colleagues!
