SECLUDED 50 acres/2 LAKES/LOG CABIN/SLEEPS 20/POOL/RED RIVER GORGE/CAVE RUN LAKE

NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO NEIGHBORS * NO PROBLEM! Sunset Ridge Wilderness Lodge & Wedding/Event Venue is between Red River Gorge, NBSP & Cave Run Lake in the Daniel Boone Nat. Forest, bordered by ridge top cliffs, where Indians once lived, our 4,500 sq ft. authentic Log Cabin is your secluded getaway! Enjoy a leisure stay, reunion, retreat, honeymoon, or book a separate wedding package, corporate event, etc. at this private 50 acre hideout. Come stay where the blacktop ends!

Fish in 2, Lakes, swim in the pool, relax in the hot tub ... or experience hiking, canoeing, waterfalls, and wildlife viewing at its best, including bald eagles! Wedding & Vowel Renewal packages are available. Have your ceremony in the vintage open air Chapel, 100 yr old barn, on ponds, by cliffs, in woods, in fields, or an intimate ceremony inside the great room, & have your music played on the baby grand piano. Events of any kind we can host for you, so let us take care of it by booking as a venue. Relax, unwind, and listen to nature, because that is all you will hear!

This getaway is close to the Red River Gorge & located in the Daniel Boone National Forest which covers more than 700,000 acres along the Appalachian Mountain foothills and the Cumberland Plateau & containing an estimated 500 miles of trails through rugged terrain made of sandstone cliffs and exposed limestone rock faces. This trail network is larger than any other in Kentucky. Home to the largest collection of natural arches and bridges found east of the Rocky Mountains, the sandstone cliffs offer a lifetime of climbing opportunities at all levels & is one of the most popular climbing meccas east of the Mississippi. Among these cliffs is "Natural Bridge," a magnificent arch, which is 65 feet tall and 78 feet long, is one of the most famous natural sandstone arches.

Cave Run Lake is even closer, where you can enjoy boating, water sports, sailing, swimming & fishing, and is almost completely within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Kentucky State record for the largest muskie is here, and it is still "The Muskie Capital of the South"!

About the host

Hosted by Julie Collett

Host profile image
Owner of my own businesses, where I am an Interior Designer & Decorator, Photographer, Wedding Planner, Owner & Coordinator of Sunset Ridge Farm Events ... Wedding & Event Venue. I enjoy spending time outside working on landscaping, flowers, and any project that keeps me outdoors. Repurposing old wood, metal, furniture, etc., is a great passion of mine as well. ... I have been married to my amazing husband for 38 yrs., and because of his hard work ethic and being an impeccable provider, we are blessed with this 75 acre retreat that God has allowed us to enjoy for over 27 yrs. He and I together, as a team, have built what we have today, and we are so happy to now share it with others. We raised our three super adult children, whom we are so proud of, here on the farm, and we have three precious granddaughters & one grandson who have captured our hearts. I have a new motto now, that I often quote, which is a lyric from one of my son's songs he wrote that says ... "This capsule that were traveling in, goes far and wide but don't come back again" ... We like to live everyday by this motto, making every moment count, because we can't ever live in that moment again!

Why they chose this property

Few properties, that claim to be secluded or private, rarely are, and advertised as log cabins, are generally never authentic log structures, as this one. The #1 reason for us purchasing this property was for the total seclusion it has provided us for over 27 years. When we say we have no neighbors, we have NO neighbors. The phrase, "Its so quiet you could hear a pin drop", can truly be used everyday at out property.
We raised our 3 amazing adult children here, and have never regretted it for one minute. It has been many things to us over the past 27 years ... Our daughter began showing Rocky and Ky Mountain horses at age 8, and the property has served well as a place to breed, raise, and train horses. Madison now lives in Atlanta with her husband Ian and our granddaughter Mila, and manages different companies accounting departments. At a young age, my oldest son Elliot, turned the Great Room into a recording studio where he began his music career as a singer/songwriter, lead singer in his band, & music producer/audio engineer. He used the studio to record his own albums, as well as other artist, because of the quiet tranquil setting, in which they could write songs and record. He now lives in Nashville with his wife Elizabeth & our granddaughter Sylvia June. Dalton, my youngest son was a dynamic baseball pitcher since the age of 8, he went on to college to pitch & majored in engineering. He now lives in Bowling Green, Ky with his wife Olivia and our 2 grandchildren Emerson & Crew, where he operates large cranes.
My husband owned a coal mining business for 35 years, and there isn't anything he can't create or build. We decided after becoming empty nesters, we should create a way for others to enjoy the peace we have found here, if you can dream it, we can host it! So we now offer Sunset Ridge Farm Events Wedding/Event Venue & Wilderness Lodge. Sunset Ridge Farm Events on the web.

What makes this property unique

TOTAL SERENITY ... with two 1 acre Lakes/ponds to fish in, its fully stocked with blue gill, catfish, bass, sunfish (all catch & release), feed the fish, catch a glimpse of the prehistoric 6 ft long paddle fish in the lower pond or relax in the 2 canoes & johnboat on either pond, right outside the cabin door. Wildlife viewing at its best ... I love photography, so I have been blessed with capturing the best of the best pics on the property over the past 27 years including: bald eagles (diving for bass in pond), river otters in the pond, beavers in pond, turtles, many species of dragonfly, geese nesting, hatching, and hanging around, blue heron, trophy deer, turkey, fox, rabbits, squirrels, many species of birds, etc.
Hiking & exploring on the property, in the adjoining Daniel Boone National Forest property, or down to Black Water, part of the Licking River which is very close. There are cliffs, waterfalls, caves, etc. all around within hiking distance, no need to get in a car to get started.
Relax on the back deck, overlooking the pool and lower Lake/pond, or on the front porch, with coffee and a view of the rolling fields. Nap on the screened porch that overlooks the pool and lower Lake/pond. Swim in the swimming pool, or melt in the covered hot tub when it's raining or snowing.
Come inside and play a game of pool on custom regulation size table, or catch up on web with high speed fiber optic internet and great wifi.
If you need a true GETAWAY, with NO neighbors, where you can actually hear a pin drop, then this is your destination! For more pics and information: Sunset Ridge Wedding/Event Venue & Wilderness Lodge on facebook or Sunset Ridge Farm Events on the web.
