Why Carey & Sue Koplowitz chose London
We love living in the woods! We purchased this hand-crafted cabin built in 2012 in 2015. It perfectly squares off a corner to the front of our property and we offer this cozy vacation home for your enjoyment. Our 16-acre property borders the Daniel Boone National Forest along the northwest boundary and is about five miles to Woods Creek Lake to the north, Laurel Lake to the south, City of London to the east and the Wild and Scenic Rockcastle River to the west.
What makes this Cabin unique
Our cozy cabin in the Daniel Boone National Forest is in a rural, forested area. Close enough to the modern world yet far enough away to escape daily life and traffic. Its always 10 degrees cooler here in the woods! The Daniel Boone National Forest in the Appalachian foothills is a temperate, mixed mesophytic rain forest with amazing and unique flora, fauna & biota. You'll marvel at the sandstone karst terrain and caves found in this unique area. We love our little piece of the forest and hope you will too! Conveniently located 5 miles off White Oak Road in London, Kentucky. Exit 41, 80W. midway between Wood Creek Lake and Laurel River Lake. Maximum 2 guests, this cozy studio cabin is perfect place to escape from it all. Very little traffic noise & nice dark night sky, you won't see another house in your tiny cabin in the woods! We offer many amenities over the local hotel room. "Its less expensive and better than the Hampton Inn" per a recent guest. This is a great place to get away from it all! At 358 sq. ft. this is "tiny home" living at it's best. Relax on the porch rocking chairs, hammock for 1 or 2, grill & chill at the picnic table in the yard or roast marshmallows for S'mores at the firepit in the yard, firewood supplied. Its like camping with all your stuff! There's so much to see and do, all within driving distance. Located off a winding, twisty road in the heart of the wild and beautiful Daniel Boone National Forest in London, Kentucky, this is a great place to watch birds and wildlife and unwind. Walk down White Oak Road or hike thru the rugged DBNF to Sinking Creek or drive along rugged forest roads to many lakes, attractions & State & National Parks: London Dragway, Cane Creek WMA, Wood Creek Lake, Laurel Lake, Rockcastle River, Sheltowee Trace Trail, Levi Jackson SP, beautiful Sinking Valley and Short Creek, Sinking Valley Winery, Camp Wildcat, Cumberland Falls & more!

Absolutely amazing location and very cozy cabin.
Loved the weekend spent here at the remote cabin. It was isolated enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of feeling like you were in the middle of nowhere while having a walmart about 20 minutes away. Definitely recommend going to Cumberland Falls as we spent the day there hiking and it was beautiful!
Thank you for your kind review. We do our best to provide an atmosphere of peace and quiet.
Beautiful, private getaway
