Long before Buckhorn Lake was created and the state park established in 1964, a small community flourished for many generations here, along the middle fork of the Kentucky River.

« Yurt #1 absolutely blew me away. It was every bit as beautiful and whimsical as the photos promised. Heidi went above and beyond from the moment I booked.

« The Bluejays Nest was such a fun stay! The tent was beautifully decorated and exactly as described. The bed was so comfortable. The grounds were well maintained. The ultimate in comfort camping at an extremely reasonable price. The trails were well maintained. The grounds were quiet. The bird bath(restrooms) were easy to access and clean. My only wish was that our trip was longer. We had the best time and will definitely be back. »
