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.

Beautiful place tucked away

This was an amazing trip. It was secluded and the cabin was rustic and romantic. My wife and I wanted to get away from it all for a weekend in the hills and this place did not disappoint. All the history of the cabin just added to the wonderful stay.

Kentucky trip

Your cabin made our trip extra special. Your location and property is so peaceful and relaxing. We loved the country roads and quiet nights. You were close to all of the places we wanted to see yet far enough out to enjoy the countryside. The cabin layout was perfect for us two couples. We played cards at night, enjoyed the sunset over the pond and relaxed during our down time while not out sightseeing. Thank you so much for everything. We had a great trip and enjoyed your cabin immensely. Highly recommend for anyone going to the Ark Encounter or creation museum to stay at your place.
