Glencoe · Owen County, Kentucky

130 acres of quiet, an hour from just about everywhere.

Stay in a cabin on 130 private acres of pond, creek and hollows. Just off I-71, within an hour of Cincinnati, Louisville and Lexington, and sitting in the middle of the bourbon trail.

The land

Turkey Hill Homestead is 130 acres of working rural Kentucky — a pond, a creek that borders the property, and valley hollows that keep things sheltered and quiet.

More than 100 acres are open for choosing where to camp, so you are not dropped onto a numbered pad next to someone else. It is a peaceful, serene setting with an abundance of outdoor activities, and it stays that way because there is simply a lot of room.

Tent and cabin sites

Sites sit across the open ground rather than in marked rows. These are the spots themselves — pick the one that suits you when you get here.

A mown track runs the length of the field, so gear comes in on foot without a fight.

Cabin

A private cabin with a covered porch looking out over open land. Quiet enough to sleep properly and wake up slowly — the point is rest, not itinerary. Booked as its own site.

Rest and reset

The cabins are built around getting away from things rather than filling a schedule. No numbered pads, no neighbours in earshot, no road noise \u2014 the nearest interruption is usually a goat.

Days here are yours to make slow. Fish the pond, walk the hollows, sit on the porch and watch the light move across the field. There is plenty to do if you want it, and nothing you have to do if you do not.
