About this property

Escape to the Wild & Scenic Daniel Boone National Forest in London, Kentucky!

Sorry, no kids, and no pets. The cabin is best suited for one or two adults. This studio cabin is the perfect retreat, close enough to many attractions yet far enough away to escape from it all! Whatever you do, you will treasure your visit to the beautiful and scenic Daniel Boone National Forest! This cozy cabin is 358 sq ft and has a comfy living area, 3/4 bath, modern well-equipped kitchen, memory foam queen bed; rocking chairs on the front porch, grill, picnic table, hammock and also a fire pit for S'mores in the yard, firewood supplied. The property sits adjacent to the "Thrash Rock" a geological feature of historical interest. Local legend tells us this is where the ancient natives and local townfolk threshed their grain. The area was settled early 19th century & locals say in late 19th century this area was a busy small village on the road to Sinking Creek and the Rockcastle River. Old home foundations dot the landscape. The cabin sits in the front of our 22 acres adjoining the Daniel Boone National Forest. Completed in 2016, Forest Cabin is now open for guests! Please consider a visit, you will experience nature at its finest!
Conveniently located 5 miles down White Oak Road in London, Kentucky. Exit 41, 80W. midway between Wood Creek Lake and Laurel River Lake. Maximum 2 guests, this cozy studio cabin is perfect place to escape from it all. Very little traffic noise & nice dark night sky, you won't see another house in your tiny cabin in the woods! We offer many amenities over the local hotel room. "Its less expensive and better than the Hampton Inn," said a guest. This is a great place to get away from it all! At 358 sq. ft. this is "tiny home" living at it's best. Relax on the porch rocking chairs, hammock for 1 or 2, grill & chill at the picnic table in the yard or roast marshmallows for S'mores at the firepit in the yard, firewood supplied. Its like camping with all your stuff!

There's so much to see and do, all within a 4 hour driving distance.

Great little cabin in the woods!

Great cabin for two, clean, and our hosts were great. We used this as a “home base” for hiking in the area. It was pretty centrally located for hiking the Red River Gorge (Northeast) and Cumberland Falls (South) areas. Thank you for a great vacation!

Cozy Cabin

We were so happy with this little cabin. It was in a nice setting and was exactly as described. We only need one bed, which was so firm and provided a good night's sleep, so the price was right and not having to pay for more than what we require was nice. If we needed anything that wasn't there all we had to do was ask.

About the host

Hosted by Carey & Sue Koplowitz

Host profile image
We escaped to the woods over 2 decades ago & love living in the forest! We have lived & visited all over the US and love where we live in the wild & scenic Daniel Boone National Forest, it's like camping with all your stuff! Carey is the full-time host & property manager, while Sue, not yet retired, works behind the scenes in the home office, making sure the bills get paid, the taxes filed & keeping up with our online listings.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this hand-crafted cabin built in 2012 in 2015. It perfectly squares off a corner to the front of our property and we offer this cozy vacation home for your enjoyment. Our 22-acre property borders the Daniel Boone National Forest along the northwest boundary and is about midway between Woods Creek Lake to the north, Laurel Lake to the south, City of London to the east and the Wild and Scenic Rockcastle River to the west. The natural beauty, peace and solitude in the general area is what really drew us here. Our cozy cabin in the Daniel Boone National Forest is in a rural, forested area. Close enough to the modern world yet far enough away to escape daily life and traffic. Its always 10 degrees cooler here in the woods! The Daniel Boone National Forest in the Appalachian foothills is a temperate, mixed mesophytic appalachian rain forest with amazing and unique flora, fauna & biota. You'll marvel at the sandstone karst terrain and caves found in this unique area. We love our little piece of the forest and hope you will too!

What makes this property unique

Many of our guests tell us how this area is every bit as beautiful as the Red River Gorge & Great Smoky Mountain areas minus all the traffic and we agree! Conveniently located 5 miles down White Oak Road in London, Kentucky. Exit 41, 80W. midway between Wood Creek Lake and Laurel River Lake. Maximum 2 guests, this cozy studio cabin is perfect place to escape from it all. Very little traffic noise & nice dark night sky, you won't see another house in your tiny cabin in the woods! We offer many amenities over the local hotel room. "It's less expensive and better than the Hampton Inn" per a recent guest. This is a great place to get away from it all! At 358 sq. ft. this is "tiny home" living at its best. Relax on the porch rocking chairs, hammock for 1 or 2, grill & chill at the picnic table in the yard or roast marshmallows for S'mores at the firepit in the yard, firewood supplied. It's like camping with all your stuff! There's so much to see and do, all within driving distance. Located off a winding, twisty road in the heart of the wild and beautiful Daniel Boone National Forest in London, Kentucky, this is a great place to watch birds and wildlife and unwind. Walk down White Oak Road or hike thru the rugged DBNF to Sinking Creek or drive along rugged forest roads to many lakes, attractions & State & National Parks: London Dragway, Cane Creek WMA, Wood Creek Lake, Laurel Lake, Rockcastle River, Sheltowee Trace Trail, Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park, beautiful Sinking Valley and Short Creek, Sinking Valley Winery, Camp Wildcat, Cumberland Falls & more! With over 40 years-experience in food manufacturing and quality assurance, you can be sure that this great little home in the woods will be sparkling clean and disinfected/sanitized prior to your arrival! We follow all CDC guidelines on COVID-19 cleaning/disinfecting and we are up to date with vaccines!
