About this property
It’s Quit’n Time at Lost On Purpose Retreat
This very private forested palisade places you remotely in the hills of bourbon country. With hundreds of acres to explore as far as the eye can see in all directions, enjoy the quiet, no neighbors and no worries atmosphere. Hike the trails, pet the horses, play disc golf, plan a kayaking trip on Rolling Fork River, 5 miles away, lounge in a hammock by the fire, or take a nap! This is your guaranteed “never want to leave” stay. Comfy camping ... that isn't really camping at all. The cottage is a constructed studio home with all the expected amenities inside.
1 plush queen bed with linens/pillows, 1 sectional sofa for extra guests (no linens provided). Fully stocked kitchen. The detached bathroom is connected to the cottage beneath the porch 10 feet from the entry, it offers two showers, sinks & toilets. The Bathroom has a separate entry to promote the rustic experience and simplified lifestyle. Towels are provided within the cottage. You'll find dozens of rainy-day games in the coffee table and bookcase. We share this property with our guests openly during your stay- Explore it! Just shoot us a quick text if you have any questions about any of the area's access points. Trails are easily identified, you can use our map as a guide, but use google earth or an app to coordinate your location, just in case, it is a large property, but... maybe you want to be lost on purpose!!!
Of course, the heart of KY is horses and Bourbon. The Bourbon Trail of New Haven and Bardstown, voted Americas most beautiful city is only 20 minutes away, see our globally known distilleries. Distances: Log Still Amp- 9 miles. Elizabethtown- 12 miles. Fort Knox- 20 miles. Downtown Louisville or Mammoth Cave National Park are less than 1 hour away.
House Rules:
1. Absolutely no smoking or vaping inside the unit, put everything back as it was when you entered before leaving. No disrespect to the property, animals, persons or tampering with any cameras.
2, Clean up after yourself, your children and your pets. If you wish to smoke outside- do not throw butts on the ground, dispose of them in the garbage. This unit is very remote and is not on a sewage system like in a city. Do not flush any paper, feminine napkins or other napkins in the toilet for this reason. Please use the trash bin.
Check Out- 11:00am Clean up; unplug coffee pot, fireplace and fan. Take all trash out to the bins outside. Wash any dishes used and return any items back to their original placement. Place the air unit on economy setting 72 and be sure to close all doors firmly.
Rule 3- You are responsible for any damages you commit, for lost items or things you take without permission. You will be billed for them at market value and you agree to pay said debt upon request. This includes malice conduct performed by guests, children or pets.
It is our hope that everyone can enjoy the land we have worked so hard in developing. If you are a nature lover and have a love for the fresh, country air, help us keep it that way.
Rule 4- You do not have permission to explore the exterior buildings, barn, garage, or Red house. Do not attempt to access any structures or vehicles on the property. Otherwise the land is explorable. We own as far as you can see! Make yourself at home amongst nature!
Rule 5- No pets allowed on the furniture. This includes "service animals"!!!
It is our hope that everyone can enjoy the land we have worked so hard on creating. If you are a nature lover and have a love for the fresh country air, come visit!
We review every request to stay personally, please include details for your request to stay on our little piece of paradise. Peak season requires a 2 night minimum for approved booking.
