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.

Secluded Getaway.

Property as described. It’s definitely in an isolated location. Great for anyone looking for peace and quiet in a rather rustic setting. It was a great base for our overnight trip to a local monastery. Loved the horses and deer.

Great place to get out in nature

A hidden gem, it definitely was tucked away in the woods and exactly what we wanted. The outside sitting area under the shade of the overhang and the trees was perfect. It was nice to have the fans on which made it comfortable to sit outside and keep the bugs away. The place was clean and well stocked. Jill was a great host and communicate very well.

An excellent place to stay. The property is absolutely beautiful, the home was clean, warm and welcoming and had everything we needed. The handsome dogs visited daily so be sure to bring snacks. I’ll definitely go back.
