The cabin is the first step in developing a family retreat center which will emphasize family values. The Cabin is a converted tobacco grading shed next to a tobacco barn at the entrance to an 80 acre farm bordering the extensive Berea College Forest. It is in the Pinnacles area of the Appalachian mountains where the mountains meet the Bluegrass.
Berea College maintains hiking trails on Indian Fort Mountain, including West Pinnacle and East Pinnacle. The farm includes a lake which was developed for flood control purposes and fishing is allowed for guests. Deer, geese and wild turkey are seen, as well as other birds and wildlife. The Cabin is easily accessible from Highway US 421, just across from Pilot Knob near Big Hill, KY and close to Berea and Richmond. Berea is the folk arts capital of Kentucky and many craft shops are nearby, as well as several craft fairs each year.
The Cabin is one large room and a bathroom with shower. It is set up for hikers or those who want a simple place to get away for a while or a base for exploring the area crafts. No phone or TV. Some cell phones can get signals and some can't. Owner lives close on the same road so access to emergency phone service is available.
The two single beds are cot size (29 x 75) and also can serve as benches for dining. The third bed is a convertible couch which makes a double bed. Sleeping bags recommended but we can help with bedclothes if needed. Can easily accommodate three or four. Ideal for a couple or family with one or two children. Basic kitchen supplies are provided. A/C and heat are included. A snug pleasant get-away. |
