About this property

Emerald Forest ~ Magical forest themed cabin in Daniel Boone Forest along river!

Our Emerald Forest cabin is green + magical forest themed, with pretty décor, beautifully stained local-sourced wood, boutique/rustic hand-built furnishings, and lots of delightful touches throughout the cabin. Emerald Forest has an open floor plan with 3 beds and sleeps up to 5 people: Includes a Queen bed on the main floor + a faux leather sofa which seats 2 - 3 adults and folds out to a twin bed, plus a 3rd bed in the loft above. The living room area also has a coffee table and 2 chairs. Please See Photos. **When booking, please let us know how many guests and beds needed.**

We're on private property nestled within Daniel Boone Nat’l Forest, conveniently located 4 easy miles off Intestate-75 along a pretty forested state road. Rockcastle River runs along the entire lower part of our property down an embankment.

We don’t allow pets in Emerald Forest, Sapphire Springs & Tangerine Dreams cabins (in order to accommodate guests who may have severe allergies/asthma), however we do allow pets in 2 of our 5 cabins which you can find listed here: Ruby Ravine and Riverside Blue cabins.

We're open year round and for all holidays and offer a fun, relaxing cabin stay for birthday celebrations, anniversaries, romantic getaways, Christmas, Valentine's Day, family reunions, retirement celebrations, honeymoons, a warm comfy clean place to stay when off-roading, hiking or kayaking in the area, and a restful stop during a long road trip!
