Keywords: Lodge
Get away from it all at your very own lodge. With over 400 acres to explore, play and relax, you may never want to leave. Watch for deer and turkey as you take a leisurely hike or hit the trails for an exciting mountain bike adventure. Stop and play in the creek to cool off, and then get ready to go again! This property is ideal for riding four-wheelers, dirt bikes and other ATV’s. End the day sitting around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories about your day.
This lodge is ideal for couples, friends and families who enjoy the great outdoors. Built in 2006, the 2500 sq. ft. lodge features four bedrooms and two baths. There are solid hickory cabinets and antique heart pine flooring throughout. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open and inviting.
If you want to venture away from the property, be sure to explore the nearby Amish community. Visiting the Amish in Crittenden County is like taking a step back in time. They have no telephones or electricity and use horses and buggies for transportation.
When you visit, you will see their meticulous care of the land, their craftsmanship in cabinet and furniture making, along with their artistry in handmade quilts and other crafts.
Photographers won’t want to miss Cave-In-Rock State Park. Cave-In-Rock, noted by the earliest French explorers, was the lair of several gangs of river pirates that preyed on Ohio River Valley travelers, notably the Mason Gang and the Harpe Gang. It has been featured as a set location in the 1950's film "Davy Crockett and the River Pirates" and in the 1960's film "How The West Was Won." Cave-In-Rock State Park is a photographer's wonderland. Admission is free, and so if the ferry trip across the Ohio River.
If Log Cabins are your thing, visit Barbara at her Log Cabin Shop. Built in 1835, this two-story log cabin is one of Crittenden County's oldest homes. Primitive antiques, herb gardens, fruit trees and a glimpse into days gone by all await you six miles out Hwy 91 N.

Wheeler Antiques, Herbs, and Custom Furniture
127 E. Carlisle Street
Venture a half block off the court square and you will find three of Marion's most unique shops, all owned and operated by Robert and Barbara Wheeler.
Wheeler's Antiques specializes in Early Country Furniture from Kentucky and Tennessee, along with quilts, smalls, and accessories.
The Herb Shoppe showcases Barbara's homegrown herbal Arrangements, Sweet Annie Wreaths, Log Cabin Potpourri, Hand Dipped Candles, Bittersweet Swags and Hand hooked rugs.
Wheeler's Custom Furniture is where you will find Furniture-maker Robert M. Wheeler. Robert is nationally known for his one of a kind heirloom furniture and antique reproductions.
Our Native American heritage includes mound sites and thousands of years of habitation. The Ohio River was part of a Native trade route stretching from western New York down to the Caribbean. The northern route of the Trail of Tears comes through the county. While the historical route passes just south and west of Marion, the Auto Route designated by the National Parks System comes through the center of town, marked by distinctive road signs.
The Outlaw Trail was once the treacherous road from Marion to Ford's Ferry. Named for county ferry operator, innkeeper, and justice of the peace "Big Jim" Ford, who moonlighted as a bandit chief, Ford's Ferry Road is a now quiet, scenic backroad, where your most dangerous encounter will be with an Amish produce stand. Jesse and Frank James (left) and the Cole Younger Gang were regular visitors to the area.
Please visit the the City of Marion Kentucky Tourism Committee's website to find A LOT of other activities.
