Guests who stay in our Charis Cabin will enjoy a full kitchen for family meals complete with range, oven and microwave. A full size refrigerator with filtered water and a generous sink for washing up after dinner. A sizable island with lots our counter-space for family mealtime. My kitchen is fully stocked.

The cabin has one full bathroom with tub/shower combo, toilet and vanity sink. We provide towels, washcloths and hand towels to use during your stay. We require all toilet paper to be septic safe and do provide a starter amount under the sink.

In the main room, you'll find a living room space with sofas & coffee table, a large 5 ft island with stools that is great for the grown ups to enjoy a meal and small dining table with benches that is great for the kids.

Our cabin has 2 bedrooms. One side of the cabin has a Master bedroom with 2 queen beds (pack n play is kept under one of these beds). A second bedroom on the other side of the cabin has 2 twin bunks. We provide bedding and linens for guests to use during their stay.

There is a small loft area above the master bedroom. I've filled it with toys for the kids. They will LOVE hanging in the loft and adults will love being able to sit and relax below without the kids being under foot. We keep two camping mats in the lodge for kids who want to "camp out" but guests will need to provide their own sleeping bags for these.

Our cabin has full air conditioning and heat through two mini split units controlled with the remote in each room. The main room has two ceiling fans. You'll find yourself comfortable year round.

Outside, enjoy the 48' covered front porch in the front. The cabin sits about 50 yards off the road that is a loop and the only traffic are local neighbors during their commute. The view from the porch is beautiful and relaxing. Guests can enjoy deer, will turkey and many varieties of birds.

In the back, enjoy a patio with picnic tables and outdoor space for a campfire. We do provide one bundle of firewood with your stay. Extra firewood can be purchased as an add on. Be sure to pack your fire starters and matches or contact us for a camp fire add on that includes extra firewood, fire starters and a lighter for your stay.

You'll find plenty of camping chairs in the deck box to use outside during your stay as well as a few chairs around the fire pit.

WARNING: regional pests include chiggers and ticks as well as mosquitos. Don't forget the bug repellent!

The cabin is attached to 84 total acres of family owned farm. Guests are welcome to enjoy the entire farm including it's hiking trails, stocked fishing lake (contact the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife for local laws and licenses). The Chairs cabin is part of Siloam Valley Retreat Center. We do have tent camping and another cabin on the farm. Some outdoor space could be shared with these guests. However, you'll find the farm is large enough to still enjoy all the seclusion and serenity you'll need during your stay.

A few other things we need you to know:
We do occasionally need to access the shed behind the cabin. It serves as storage for our retreat center. We sometimes we need to mow and do farm maintenance around the cabin and appreciate grace if this needs to happen during your stay. This is a clamping listing. We work hard to keep our cabin clean and comfortable as reflected in our reviews. We can not control the occasional intent inside the cabin.
