About this property

Three Pines Historic Log Cabin (About 20 Minutes From Ark Encounter)

The cabin at Three Pines Farm is rich in history. The logs that compose it were hewn in the 1790s by Captain Phillip Buckner, a Revolutionary War veteran. Throughout the 1800s it housed Morford's tavern and inn, with many guests arriving by stagecoach.

Despite its long history, the cabin is well-suited to the modern guest. It consists of three floors. Upstairs it boasts the Buckner and Morford Bedrooms, containing a queen and twin bed respectively. A bathroom with a shower/bath adjoins the Morford Room.

The middle/ground floor is where guests enter the cabin. Captain Buckner entertained his guests in this space with lavish feasts. In its modern layout, this floor includes the dining room, kitchen, and living room. There is also a lavatory adjoining the kitchen.

Though the basement was not part of the original cabin, it flows seamlessly into the modern layout. It includes the Pine Bedroom (queen bed), the den (futon convertible to a double bed), and a bathroom containing a shower. It is a walk-out basement, with a patio space behind the cabin.

We like to think that we are carrying on the tradition of Buckner and Morford today as we open the door of this historic cabin to you.

Family summer vacation

Absolutely loved this cabin. It's gorgeous, spacious, and comfortable. We saw a buck, doe, and bunny in the back yard. We sat on the front porch in the rocking chairs and listened to nature and fountain from the pond while we enjoyed time as a family together. Perfect get away. Would stay here again!

Beautiful view

We enjoyed our stay and loved the history of the cabin! My elderly dad traveled with us as a Christmas present to see the Ark. He loves old cabins, which is why we chose this one. We loved the view! We got to see the most beautiful rainbow right over the cabin! It was like looking at a painting with the rainbow set over the gorgeous property. Sweet memories were made and I’ll cherish every one. The only thing I’d suggest is a good deep clean on the upstairs jacuzzi tub. The jet spouts were dirty, and the towels in that bathroom had a mildewed odor. Other than those small issues, we’d plan another stay at this cabin, as well as recommend it to others. Thank you for helping us to have a wonderful visit!

Tranquil

Check in was super easy/instructions were great. The drive to/from town is scenic but also requires a little time and care. The notebook with information on the story of the place was excellent. It was quiet and relaxing for 4 adults. There is a little maintenance that should be done. Overall, quite satisfactory and enjoyable.

Family Trip To Kentucky

I had some business in Kentucky so the family and I decided to go a few days early to visit the Ark Encounter & Creation Museum. Our group, ages 2 through 71, enjoyed staying in this historic log home. The owner was very responsive, easy to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. The location was great for visiting the Ark & Creation Museum. The property and the home were fantastic. The home was well maintained and comfortable for all. We would certainly stay there again.

The Best Cabin Experience

Truly amazing workmanship and decor. Every time we walked around we would find something else special about this cabin. The relocation/history binder is a quick and necessary read! It is one of the best Log Cabins we have stayed in so far and I recommend it to anyone looking for a stay in the KY countryside!
